Looking and Feeling Good

I've been working on many projects which have been rewarding.
My recent workshops have opened new doors for many including myself.
Gaining confidence is not always easy.
With a little effort, changing certain things we might have overlooked ourselves can be the key.
Eating right and getting enough rest is important for a sharp mind and body.
Treat yourself to the simple things in life.
Go read a book in a park,rent a movie, call someone and go out for a walk to just catch up,smile and watch how others behave around you. We learn so much from others.
Color can affect our mood.
What colors are you most attracted to?
Do you know why?
My "Invest In Yourself" workshop has been designed to answer those questions and much more.

Step Into Spring

Last week we started off the spring season with a terrific young bride.
She's a pretty woman with great taste when it comes to makeup.
We had such fun trying out new looks for the wedding day.
I enjoyed meeting her wonderful mother and girlfriends who also had their hair and makeup done for the big day.
Congratulations to Taylor and Sean!
Hope to see you in Paris again soon.

Hong Kong Beauty in Paris

Last week I had the pleasure of working with a charming couple from Hong Kong.
They chose Paris as their destination for the pre-wedding photos. The wedding will take place this spring in Hong Kong.
The future bride chose a wonderful outfit to keep her warm with the unpredictable weather while being fashionable and classy.

Happy Birthday Barbie!

Wow, Barbie is having a very special 50th birthday here in Paris!
If you're a fan or merely curious to see Karl Lagerfeld's special touch, stop by Colette's on rue St. Honoré. Stylist Jeremy Scott has marked the event with his fabulous clothing and accessories featured in the "Barbie Room".
The Barbie and Ken exhibition features photos taken by Mr. Lagerfeld directly for this special event.
The Ken doll is a real male model posing with the glam doll herself and the prints are being sold at Colette's.
For anyone interested, Barbie and Ken divorced back in 2004 but have remained quite close.

The Do's and Dont's

So it's your big day and you're not sure what to do with your makeup. Any top photographer will recommend that you work with a makeup and hair specialist. It's important to iron out all the little details so there is no surprise the day of the actual wedding. Makeup base or primer is a nice way of greeting your skin for the rest to come. Finding the correct type of foundation followed by the right shade is another reason to leave it up to an expert. You can never go wrong with a natural and clean look.
Depending on the type of photos that will be taken, certain colors reflect better with color than black and white. Heavy eyes with natural lips or heavy lips with natural eyes. It's not a good idea to do both.
Which are you?

Creating Moments

This year will feature regular workshops around different themes and special guests. It's wonderful to have so many people interested. Partnering up with various vendors and certain professionals has allowed me to create fun, personalized and original gatherings all over France.
Thanks to the many ladies who opened their doors for our "Beauty Atelier" throughout last year, I've decided to expand in this area. The positive feedback and desire to create a moment as I call it is inspiring.
The next atelier will be "Vixen Valentine's Look" and will focus on changing your look to a more sensual one. No need to fear the title, you might just want to learn how to dare to wear red lipstick!
There are many opportunites to create a moment which I believe enhance our lives.
If you have any ideas or would like to sponsor an atelier, feel free to contact me.

Happy New Year!

May this new year bring many opportunities your way to explore every joy of life.
Sending beautiful thoughts,
Brigitte
