Shooting "Naturally Beautiful" for Veria Living TV
Halli Binova, Nitika Chopra, me with red hair! - blog to follow - and Courtney Spritzer
You guys - it has been a DAY - in a lovely way and I'm so excited to share! So if you have been with me for a while you know that I get to do makeup for television segments and have gotten to have Erin's Faces credited for it, which is awesome, but I have not been "on air talent" - until now!
Nitika and her gorgeous hair
This morning I shot a couple of segments for a new show on Veria Living, a wellness cable channel, called "Naturally Beautiful" which is hosted by an incredibly warm and amazing woman named Nitika Chopra. You can read about her story HERE.
On set with the director and production peeps - figuring out where to sit my model for the demo
I have no idea when it's airing but you know that I will shout it from the rooftops when I do and I will have to rely on the kindness of friends who have a cable provider other than Time Warner, who does not currently carry Veria. Get it together TW!
Courtney's Day-time Look
I got to work with the crazy talented Courtney Spritzer who owns her own social media company, Socialfly, and who happens to be ridiculously beautiful. Seriously - this is her before picture with minimal foundation and smidge of shadow, blush and some gloss - and she is equally as sweet and smart. Courtney was wanting to get more comfy with steps to take to go from day to night as she's a fancy chick and has many after-work gatherings to attend.
We talked on-air about steps to take in order to set yourself up for success in the morning before you even go to work - here were the tips with product rec's from Erin's Faces that we used:
The Organic Firming Eye Gel contains Witch Hazel which is depuffing and tightening - helping to smooth out the undereye area while it acts as a great prep for concealer
Urban Decay's Primer Potion helps eyeshadow last all day without creasing or exiting through the day and makes it easier if you're going to pop a smoky shadow on after work
If pencil eyeshadows tend to migrate down your face instead of staying where you put them then my Cream Eyeliners will change your life! No joke - they do not move until you wash your face.

Courtney's Night-time Look
We had 12 minutes, 12 MINUTES!, to do this transformation while Hallie Binvoa, from the John Barrett Salon, was simultaneously doing a super pretty double waterfall braid in Courtney's hair. So, I threw on a smoky shadow shade, false lashes, used the Cream Eyeliner in the waterline, bumped up the cheek and lip color, did a little brow definition and shimmered her up.

The items we talked about throwing in your makeup bag for a quick evening touch up were
If you have 30 seconds grab your Cream Eyeliner and line the waterline, at least the bottom, and if you can handle it, the top and you will immediately look more fancy and smoldering. Guaranteed.
We used Night on Courtney but any super dark and scary looking eyeshadow color will do you. She already had on a champagne shade and we bumped Night in the outer corner and blended with the Double Eyeshadow Brush - brushes matter peeps.
Shimmer is your friend at night! Magic Dust is a loose gold shimmer that works on nearly every skintone and if you use it sparingly on your cheekbones, browbones, inner eyes (around tearducts) and, if you're feeling really snazzy, on top of your shadow, it will seriously glam you up.
Less romantic, but who couldn't use an extra swipe of concealer under the eye or around the nose after a day at work?
Special thanks to the super talented and yummy Candice Crawford who is the guest's makeup/hair who made my hair pretty :).
So that's the haps for now - I've got a fancy fun shoot on Tuesday that I'm really excited to share with you so stay tuned! xoxo
