Product Sent for Review I Bought It Affiliate Links



Today I have some information that you need if you're holiday shopping for a beauty addict! It can be very hard to know what to get the girl who already has every single palette, nail polish and skin care tool out there. Her bathroom already looks like Sephora, right?

Luckily, Celeb Makeup Artist Brandy Gomez-Duplessis, happens to also spend some time working at Sephora. And she knows what you should buy! She shared her picks! I've added a little commentary of my own below each of Brandy's picks.

Inspiration from the Greek Islands: A Sultry Smoky Eye

Nothing to Disclose

Today I have another amazing makeup look from Brandy Gomez-Duplessis, again from Donna Karan International Market Week. Brandy says,

"Today's makeup inspiration comes from my love of the sultry Greek Islands. Women are very sexy there and they love their bodies. Donna Karan's collection today took me to that place so I created a flawless makeup look that would take you from day to night. It's all about clean skin, shades of coral, and beach with no one thing being the main focus."

Best of all, Brandy created this amazing look with makeup that you can easily pick up with a trip to a store near you! I love that she uses a lot of non-pro products to create looks that are just so pretty. I could recreate this easily for going out to dinner and it would look great!

Brandy Gomez-Duplessis Shares Her Donna Karan International Market Week Look, Hint: A Trip to ULTA Will Get You Everything!

Nothing to Disclose


During Donna Karan International Market Week, Celeb Makeup Artist Brandy Gomez-Duplessis created many different looks, and when she offered to share the looks, and the products she used, with my readers I jumped at the chance! Just look at the model's makeup.... Yes, super pretty!

Brandy says that the look was inspired by her love for exotic locations like Capri. Look is simple with brown/bronze eyes and flawless skin, natural lips and you can almost feel the breeze coming off of the Mediterranean! The best part is that you can pick up all of the products with a quick trip to ULTA (except for the lip gloss. I can only find that on-line, but it is $1.25. Can't argue with that!)

A quick peek at the amazing Paul Andrew shoes backstage. I want them all!

Read on to see what Brandy used to create the look.
