I love my Brides and they love me back!!

The Wedding Day is one of the most important in a ladies life. One most have dreamed about since being little girls. They want the day to be peaceful , serene and they want to be and feel beautiful. I have been blessed to be part of 100's of brides wedding days. I've been doing bridal makeup since 2001 and I love it. I wanted to take a few moments to thank all of my brides that have utilized my services down through the years. Bridal is a large part of my business and I am quite grateful for all of the success that my clients have brought me. Wedding season is here now and it's started off wonderfully. I wanted to take some time a post a few reviews from some of my brides. The photos I posted are not necessarily next to the review. They are just a few of my beautiful brides.

Reviews:

The glam doctor was very professional and did an excellent job. She was on time and actually had time to do a last minute item for me. She is concerned with everything so that i didnt have to. Very highly recommended. Also, our make up lasted through tears at the wedding and dancing at the reception,

Bride Whitney Hatton

I have a wonderful experience with the Glam Doctor! I was so happy with the makeup services that I recieved for the day! I felt more beautiful than ever! Not only was the team great and professional but they were also very friendly and kind to work with. My whole bridal party was so impressed with the services that they seen me recieve, that me and my girls will be using the Glam Doctor in the future! I highly recommend this vendor!

Bride Kellae Shropshire

Wonderful young lady and her staff.  The glam doctor listened to me from day one on how i wanted to be made up for my wedding. she did such a wonderful job on myself and my bridal party. she was ever so accommodating to me when i added on another person to my bridal party 2 days before my wedding. the glam doctor did not rush nor did they do a rush job. I/we felt as though we were their only clients for the whole day. The Glam Doctor and staff blended into my family as if they were family. They kept it professional and to the point. Everyone got a touch up kit for their make up and I/the bride got a little extra bag which was a goody bag for me. i cant wait to go out again to put on some more make-up,

I love the GLAM DOCTOR!!! She makes you feel like a celebrity when getting your make up done. She arrived on time, had everything she needed for set up. I asked for a natural look because I don't usually wear a lot of make up. She could not have done a more perfect job. I was beautiful and I felt beautiful the entire day. Unfortunately, I tend to sweat (alot), but my makeup lasted! She packed up her area, quietly left, like a fairy godmother, leaving a touch-up kit with my maid of honor. She's a must have for any event you want to look your absolute best!!!

Bride Loretta France


My entire experience with the GlamDoctor was impeccable! The entire service I felt so embellished and beautiful for my special day. The Glamdoctor and her team made me feel extremly comfortable, relaxed and worried free. They were more together, on-time, and in order than I ever imagined! GlamDoctor you are awesome for any special occassion/service anyone needs! Mrs. Harris

Bride Jamia Harris

I had an awesome experience with the Glam Doctor and her associates. They did the makeup for myself, my mother and mother-in-law and my entire bridal party. They were completely professional, timely, and made us all look GLAMOUROUS!!! Every single lady looked amazing. Couldn't have been happier. Rashida took notes during our trial, and found me the exact look I wanted. I couldn't have been happier. I used Rashida for my bridal shower as well - I got compliments from overseas - saying how my makeup looked amazing and flawless.

Bride Nausheen Hasan

The Glam Doctor was the make-up artist for my wedding day. She was on time and very patient. She enhanced the beauty of myself and members of my wedding party. From the trial to the moment she finished on my wedding day, she was professional and provided excellent work. I truly felt like a Princess. I recommend The Glam Doctor to any and every bride, birthday girl, anniversary, or whatever the occasion may be.

Perfect Foundation for ME!!

I had to write a blog today about finally finding a foundation that matches my skintone perfectly. I must be honest and say that over the past 6 months I have been on a hunt for 'me' personally to find a flawless foundation. I have tried so many highend brands and wasted $100's of dollars. I was either too red, too dark or too yellow. I would have to just mix about 3 or 4 things together from different lines to get my color. Well the other day at the suggestion of a friend I picked up Ruby Kisses 3-D Face Creator. I bought some for my professional kit and decided to try it on myself. WELL WELL WELL. I must say that I screamed..when I applied it!! I almost cried. It went on smoothly and covered one of my imperfections on my face without a lot of work. I only had to mix the two colors and BAM my skin looked amazing!! I have VERY sensitive skin and no itching or anything!! I am SOLD!! My color is LEVEL 12....I am very happy and very grateful for the amazing makeup artist who helped to recreate the line Danessa Myricks!! she NAILED it with the colors and guess what..It only cost $4.99 !!! that's it..You can find it at your local Beauty Supply Stores!! Happy Shopping!!

LASHES LASHES I LOVE LASHES

Hello Beauties
I love lashes and have found a new lash that I am completely in love with by LASplash Cosmetics at ULTA. I first purchased these lashes for a client back in January and she loved them so I bought myself a pair. I now cannot live without these. These are a staple in my personal kit. They are not expensive either only $4.99 and you can reuse them over and over again. They make me not only feel pretty and flirty but they make my eyes dance.

Daily Brush Cleaner

Great Brush Cleaner

By Rashida The Glam Doctor Williams from Michigan on 12/7/2011

 

4out of 5

Pros: Easy To Use, Functional

Best Uses: Everyday, Travel, Going Out

Describe Yourself: Classic Style

I am a makeup artist who has had this product in my possession for about a year. I never used it because I thought that it wouldn't stand up against my currant brush cleaner by Parian Spirit that packs a lot of punch to my brushes and cleans instantly without a lot of fuss. Well this morning I had to clean a few brushes in a pinch and I had ran out of my other brush cleaner. So I saw this cleaner laying around in the drawer that it had been in for a minute and I said, what the heck since I have nothing to lose. I didn't have time to wash the brushes and they needed to be santized very QUICKLY!! I was nervous that the brushes would remain wet for a long period of time as with the MAC brush cleaner. Well well well!! to my surprise the smell was amazing and soft, it cleaned the brushes AND drummrollllll the brushes dried in record time!! I was SOLDDDDDDDD!!!!!! I will now always use this brush cleaner in professional makeup kit. Thanks ELF for continuously making great products!!

Apply Your Foundation In a Minute or LESS!!

For the past few weeks I have been using a Kabuki Face Brush by ELF Cosmetics to apply my liquid & cream foundations and it has given me a flawless airbrushed look in a under a minute. I dip the brush in a small amount of the foundation and buff it into my skin and it's flawless. I am going to purchase a few more of these brushes to apply foundation on my clients with this technique. Sign up for ELF today to get a constant flow of coupons. Here is the link fo the brush, it cost $5.00  http://www.eyeslipsface.com/studio/brushes/single-brushes/studio_kabuki_face_brush. Also a disclaimer, no I am not being paid by JA Cosmetics to promote their brand, I just like it!!

I FOUND A GREAT MOISTUIZER

Last night while shopping at Walmart I was looking for a good moisturizer. I was very nervous because I didnt want anything that would irritate my already sensitive skin and also I didnt want anything that would make it more oily than it already can get at times. When I do makeup classes I always refer my clients to Cetaphil http://www.cetaphil.com/ who are looking for good skincare products that will not irritate their skin.  Well I found  a moisturizer by Cetaphil with a SPF of 50 (The initials SPF stand for Sun Protection Factor. The higher the SPF number on sunscreen, the more protection you have, or the longer you can stay in the sun without burning)I was blown away. because this will really protect the skin well.  I used the cleansing bar this morning and followed up with the moisturizer and the smoothness going on was wonderful. In addition it was not greasy, oily or heavy. It also doesnt have a scent and it's non-comedogenic. It's now almost 7 hours later and my skin still feels amazing. I would recommend this product to anyone who does not have a skincare regimen or someone looking to try something new. You can read more about this product at http://www.cetaphil.com/ for the face. Please make sure you are using a moisturizer during these very cold months because it will dry out the skin.

EYES! LIPS! FACE! ELF COSMETICS PRODUCT REVIEW

I am a bargain hunter like the next person and I love to find great cosmetic buys on a budget. I've been using the ELF brand ever since it came on the market years ago. I was skeptical at first because of the price point but I've found that they have some great products for $1-$3. What I love most about this line is that they are in constant contact wiht their client which is so important because it keeps us coming back for MORE!!. There is a sale almost every single day, I am not kidding. The sales and discounts vary but you can expect 50% off, BOGO, FREE SHIPPING AND FREE PRODUCTS with your order. Please go to their site and sign up. I am always trying out their new products and I will review often for you all. www.EyesLipsFace.com

My FAVORITES ARE :

Makeup Removing Cleansing Clothes. I swear I have about 30 packs of these in my makeup studio now. These are a staple in my kit. They feel great on the skin and they do not irritate my sensitive skin or my clients. They cost but I only buy them when they are 50% off so that I can stock up.

DUO EYE SHADOW CREAM

This is my next favorite product that I cannot live without in my kit. I use it to base this eyes as a primer to hold the eyeshadow in mplace all day long. My clients shadow has been known to stay on for a few days if needed LOL. For $1 it's a steal!!!! and when they are 50% off I get them .50.

GLITTER GLOSS

It has a nice smooth feel and it has Vitamin E for the hydration so that your lips dont dry out or flake. It looks great alone OR on top of a nice lipstick.
