Best of Philly 2015
What a rewarding summer it has been - Philadelphia Magazine named my make-up lesson the Best Make-up Service in the Best of Philly 2015 issue.
Specifically, for my make-up lesson, wherein I extract the useless, used, and unwanted from your make-up stash, keeping the good products - if there are any - and teaching you how to use them to look fresh and polished every day.
This town has been good to me - thank you, Philadelphia!

As seen in Philly Magazine: eye make-up for a red dress
In recognition of the Go Red for Women campaign, the editors at Philadephia Magazine asked me about what sort of make-up would look best with a red dress.
Neutral shades for eyes are best when you're wearing red, so had to give a shout out to Urban Decay and their brilliant Naked Basics palette ($29).

Part 2 of my visit with Fox29's Jennaphr Frederick - in this piece, I'm talking about products that I think every woman should have....
Fox29's Jennaphr Frederick in the studio: unnecessary beauty buys
Always happy to see Fox29's spunky, hilarious Jennaphr Frederick. In the first segment of this recent November visit, I shared my thoughts on beauty items and techniques that you can skip ... and yes, I danced with the camera man, because I couldn't help myself...
Fox29's Jennaphr Frederick pays a visit to my studio
On November 12th, the feisty and hilarious Jennaphr Frederick of Fox29's Good Day stopped by the studio to help me promote my recycling event and to get my opinion on make-up (uh oh) - the necessary and the not-so-necessary.
We also had a special guest with us, Bryan Barron, who was in town promoting the latest edition of "Don't Go to the Beauty Counter Without Me," a book he co-authors with Paula Begoun ("The Cosmetics Cop"). Bryan talked with Jennaphr about beauty "dupes," that is, inexpensive products that can be substituted for wicked expensive ones. So that's good.
I always tell my clients and workshop participants about Beautypedia, the online version of the book - it's a much more comprehensive and current resource for thousands of products reviews. Begoun's research team base their reviews on claims made by the manufacturers, about efficacy, for example, and the ability to turn you into Jennifer Lopez.

Got a request from Philadelphia Wedding Magazine to share my five favorite things, and this is how it went down....

As seen on the cover of Equestrian Quarterly Magazine, Summer 2014. Photographer Sarah DiCicco's winning shot of my real life bride, fashion designer Devon Baer, who wore Vera Wang for her Radnor Hunt wedding celebration. Classy stuff.
Sail to Sable shoot; just in time for warm weather...
Loved doing hair and make-up for photographer Rachel McGinn and Beke Rendell of Styled Creative for clothing design company Sail to Sable. Happy, preppy chic tunics and the like, shot at the Fairmount Park Horticulture Center. Fun!
As seen in: BHLDN styled shoot for 100 Layer Cake blog
These glorious photos were recently featured on 100layercake.com. Delectable BHLDN gowns (Tamsin was my favorite) taken at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts by Alison Conklin. Brilliant styling by Beka Rendell of Styled Creative (and The Styled Bride) - who else would something so cool with a bunch of stools that happened to be lying around?
On the cover and in the pages of New Jersey Bride Magazine Fall 2013
We knew there was magic in the sea air during this shoot at Mallard Island Yacht Club in Manahawkin, New Jersey. Featured in the Fall issue of New Jersey Bride Magazine.

A Good Day with Fox29's Jennaphr Frederick
On May 9th, Fox29's spunky Jennaphr Frederick and crew visited my studio to help Good Day morning show viewers learn how to avoid common make-up mistakes. We had a brilliant time together (Kerry Barrett was on air - I had done her make-up for a headshot a couple of years ago), and the segment turned out to be a great tutorial lash curling and applying DMK Foundation/Concealer (available at the studio). Watch the video here....
