Creative Makeup and Hairstyle by Rachael Beauty

I created this look from inspiration of a youtube tutorial on face masks. I had never done one. This look was for my senior project at Aveda Institute Los Angeles which I graduated in 2011.  I had so much fun. I love just going with the creative flow bouncing off vibes of the model as well. This was fun and playful. I wish I would have brought my own makeup though. I had to use what was there. So no gel eyeliner and lashes. I used synthetic hair and curled and teased her own natural hair.

First Music Video Hair Styling!

Short video of me right before the shoot!

I got a chance to work on Trance singer, Jes Brieden's hair during her music video shoot of "Can't Stop." “Can’t Stop”, the sensational first single from JES’ highly respected 2011 mix album “Unleash The Beat.” I was very flattered that although I don't have tons of experience, Jes wanted me to do her hair based on my work portfolio on model mayhem. I am very grateful for that opportunity and the connections made.

We shot in the LA river. I didn't bring boots to get dirty in. ;)

The dancers practicing their moves.

Working on location in downtown Los Angeles and in studio in Burbank was definitely an interesting and fun ride. It was a very long day, from 8am prep time to touch ups until 11pm that same night. It was all worth it. Very fun and talented crew. And had awesome help from my assistant for that shoot.

It was pretty rough getting the hair from curly and wild to smooth and classy, but I managed!

I know the feeling very well, because I can't stop either! :) xo

Here is a screenshot of my logo as my cover photo in the new Facebook Timeline.

I had to resize it slightly. I love the new look and features. It will take some time to get used to it but overall a redesign was well needed. Have you changed yours over, yet?

Karl Lagerfeld: Sephora

For a man that has a day job of creating meticulously designed haute couture collections for Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld seems to have a ton of time on his hands for various off-piste collections, the designer has created a limited edition Christmas collection for the brand, featuring a Karl shaped eye palette, nail polishes in black and gold and an ever-so-chic makeup bag with Lagerfeld’s portrait and signature embossed on the front.

From the eye shadow palette where each shade is shaped like Karl, to the nail polish (gold and black, obviously–please do a full nail polish collection, Karl!), it is kitschy Karl at his finest. His new fragrance Karleidoscope is available now, too. However, we will all have to admire this collection from afar, because it will only be available at Sephora in Europe and Singapore, starting November 6.

Fingers crossed they open a store in the USA soon. Available in Europe and Singapore only.

Take a look at Karl Lagerfeld’s cosmetics collection for Sephora.

Beautiful Rihanna Hairstyles & Dubstep Remix.

Here are some of my favorite hairstyles rocked by the fierce Rihanna. I personally think she looks best with the short, edgy looks. They go with her attitude. But she also can rock a very sultry and sexy long or curly do very well. 2011 was a good year for her or at least the end of it! 

Rihanna - Rude Boy (CHRISPY REMIX). Some Dubstep love.

Feather hair extensions... Can we say, Tacky?

Feather hair extensions have always looked tacky to me. Like a random colored pigeon feather fell in your mane. Not kewute. Childish.

Looking forward to this fad to come to an end. I normally would be into things like this. Maybe it's the design of the feathers I have seen. But maybe it's just not my thing. You have to have a certain style to really pull this look off. And more than just a couple feathers.

Over it!
