Dreams Really Do Come True

It’s all coming together! I had to pick out paint colors and this was a challenge for me. I was so sure I wanted a soft white until I arrived at Sherwin Williams. What a confusing assortment of whites? What I thought might take me about 15 minutes took me 2 visits and a 30 minute discussion with the paint swatches. I’m not complaining in the least bit, completely overjoyed and loving every phase of this process. I finally selected my two paint colors…drumroll….Aesthetic White and Extra White! I know, it’s hard to get excited about white, but as you can see they are different. I was keeping in mind the colors of my logo and decided to do a neutral color on the walls, so the only true color that will stand out is from pictures hanging on the wall AND…. my REDchaise. This red chaise is special to me and I have had this chaise for over 10 years. It’s old, comfortable, familiar, have been through tears and laughter, the color is still perfect and it’s a reminder of my walk. While everything else can be brand new, I need my red chaise!

Now it’s time to shop for picture frames? What color? Black or Silver? Probably I should wait until the paint is on the walls….hmmmm. #lovingthisprocess #dreamsreallydocometrue #shawnaelizabeth #makeupstudio #lovethylipstick #dreamhuge

When trying to find the perfect lip color, don’t settle. If you don’t absolutely love your lipstick color in the store, before purchasing it, walk away. Lipstick is one of those products you cant wait to fall in love with, gotta love it before you buy it!

Tip of the week- Fighting Hyperpigmentation?  Look for these ingredients in skincare products to lighten, brighten and inhibit melanin production.  Arbutin, (natural derivative of hydroquinone) derived from plants including bearberry, blueberry, and cranberry. Kojic Acid, an antioxidant derived from fungus, works by breaking down melanin in the skin and preventing its production in the skin. 

Licorice, from licorice root.  Lignin is an enzyme that comes from fungus and breaks down melanin in the skin it can be found in wood pulp.  Ellagic derived from strawberries, cherries, and pomegranates, it works as an antioxidant and also inhibits an enzyme needed for melanin production.

make-up, make-up studio, Shawna Elizabeth

Shawna Elizabeth - New StudioAs I sit here anxiously waiting to open my place, I have so many thoughts racing through my head. I got an email, a couple of nights ago, from the owner of my new studio stating the construction will not be complete until the end of January. At first I was disappointed, wondering if this is a sign, a bad sign. Then I had to immediately stop in my tracks and remember to totally trust God’s plan and especially his timing. So I attached a quote that not only was my reminder but I hope this also will inspire someone. I have come this far and cannot allow this minor setback to sabotage my excitement. So I decided to use this time wisely. I am currently in the midst of designing a brochure, that presents a menu of services I will offer at the Shawna Elizabeth Make-up Studio. Here’s what I came up with so far:

Make-up Master Courses
Make-up Classes ( 90 minute technique workshop, hands on)
Beauty “Eye”con (Eye shadow application 101)
Smokey Eyes (Dramatic Eye Couture)
Natural with a Twist (Contour/Hi Lighting)
Dressed in the Nude (Nudes that enhance)
Simply Adorned (Color Theory)
Seasonal Trends ( Pantone Color of the year and current makeup trends)
Cosmetic Wardrobing ( One on One Course)
*All Classes will have light refreshments and all tools needed for the class.

Make-up Applications
Airbrush Make-up Artistry
Full Face Artistry
Facial Props (studding, designs)
Exotic Eyes (eye shadow application with lashes)

Got Lashes?
Fantasy Full Lash Band (feathers, studded or print lashes)
Enhancement Full Lash
Custom Lash Extension
Custom Lash Bridge

Beautiful Brows
Brow Contouring (shaping and waxing)
Brow Lightening
Brow Tinting

Dreams Really Do Come True

In January 2016 I will start walking in faith and living my dream.  For many years I have been dreaming about opening my very own Make-up Studio. I would close my eyes and visualize this stunning place.  Of course, the décor is beautiful but what made this place stunning is the atmosphere that lived in this space and the love and passion that lined the walls.  This place is a Make-up Spa, a Sanctuary, a safe haven where women are welcomed to gather together or independently to learn and experience make-up artistry and skincare tips, tricks and
techniques.  In this calm and peaceful place clients are invited to roam barefoot, inhale flavored candles and experience aromatherapy to awaken and relax the senses.  This is a place of positivity, prayers and promise of exceptional customer service. 

In January 2016, I will open the Shawna Elizabeth Make-up Studio! At this very moment the make-up studio is under construction and will be awaiting my dream in less than 30 days.  I will keep you posted and get ready for a flood of posts detailing the progress.  For now, all you need to know is Dream HUGE because “Dreams really do come true”!  #shawnelizabeth #makeupstudio #brows #lashes #makeup #everythingglamorous

When wearing rich pigmented lipstick, for a well defined cupids bow, use a lip brush to apply your lipstick.  Also apply your lip liner AFTER you apply your lipstick.

concealer, eye cream, eye serum, make-up

Ladies, if it’s a must to wear concealer under your eyes, to conceal darkness, or to brighten , then an eye cream or eye serum, or both, to prep the eye is a MUST!  Because of the purpose of concealers (to cover), some are naturally heavier in coverage and have more opaque pigment.  Some full coverage concealers are even drier in texture.  So if your eye area is not moisturized before you apply your favorite full coverage concealer, you might end up with pronounced fine lines and texture under your eyes.  To reduce the appearance of dark circles, fine lines and texture under the eyes, I recommend you apply a serum and eye cream before you apply your concealer, especially for the ladies that love a full coverage concealer.  The goal is to hydrate and treat the eye area before you conceal.  A luminous and well hydrated eye area gives the appearance of a healthy and younger eye.  Who doesn’t want to look young? Get an eye serum and eye cream….please!
