My New Makeup Studio in Flowood!

I'm bringing a bit of Jerseylicious' Glam Factory to the Jackson area with my new makeup studio.  I'm offering makeup services for Brides, Prom, Special Events, Makeup Lessons, Makeovers, Model Portfolios, Print and Film.

I'm really excited about being able to offer my services on a local level, although I am still offering to travel to your location.  You can find Dani Page Makeup Studio on Facebook or visit my website for more information and to see some of my work.

How To Instantly Brighten Your Eyes

Have a bad night last night and need your eyes to appear brighter? Just use beige or peach colored eye pencil on your water line (the inside lower rim)stay away from using a white pencil as that will look really "harsh". I love using Maybelline's Cool Effects Eye Pencil in Peach Daiquiri (#26). It makes the whites of my eyes look whiter and brighter and hence will fake an awake look if you're still hung over from last night. (or, in my case, up and down with an infant all night which, I guess, could equate to a boobie hangover.....the joys of breastfeeding!)

Moving on and were walking, were walking............

Another way to make your eyes "pop".......use a shimmery white or peach colored eyeshadow outside the inner most corner of your eyes. You can also use the same eye pencil (above) if you'd like, however a shimmery shadow really looks great. Feel free to use both of these looks in conjunction with each other for "soopa doopa" brighter eyes!!! I love Makeup Forever Star Powders myself but any shimmer shadow will work great!]

Have fun!

Get Kim Kardashian's Glowing Cheek Look

No I'm talking about her ass, I mean how would I know if her butt glows or not?  Although with all the money she makes she probably hires someone to buff and shine it daily.  Moving on.............

If you've seen Kim Kardashian then you know what I'm talking about, her cheekbones are defined and her cheeks glow.  Well here's how you can get the look!

Here's what you'll need:

A darker blush (preferably a darker taupe or brown)
A decent blush brush ( I like to use squirrel hair brushes when it comes to my powder and blush brushes)
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle
Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in Peach Satin

After applying your foundation apply your face powder all over to set except on the apples of your cheeks.  The reason for this is because the Dream Mousse Blush is a cream and if you rub anything creamy over top a powder you get pancake batter!

Next you will take your blush brush and swirl it over top your darker blush, then tap the excess off.  Apply this darker shade in the hollow of your cheek but just under the highest portion of your cheekbone, if you go too low you'll look like you just stepped out of the 80's.  Next take the Dream Mousse Blush in Peach Satin and dab your finger lightly in a circular motion picking up just enough product and apply to the apples of your cheeks also in a light circular motion, being careful not to get the blush too close to the side of the nose, get it in this area and you may as well join the circus cuz honey you'll look like a clown.  Just try to keep it higher up on the apple of the cheek.  Lastly, you'll take your blush brush (after running it over a tissue several times to remove the darker color) and swirl it over top the Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle, tap off excess and apply it in the form of a "C" starting from your temple and curving it around on top of your cheekbone, being sure to blend.  You can apply a second coat if you feel you need an extra glow.

Viola!  Beautiful, defined, glowing cheeks!

For More STUFF........

Just in case you want to read up on even more beauty buzz come on over to see me on the Examiner as the Jackson Beauty Examiner.  I have stashed here close to 200 articles on makeup, beauty, natural beauty, tips, DIY facials and other crap.  Jackson Beauty Examiner

Tomorrow .......Drink you're way pretty with my favorite green drink recipes!  Yum!

Introductions? Well they just .... Suck

Why is it when one introduces themselves it's so awkward?  Hi, my name is blah, I like blah and oh I have this great blah.  Yadda, yadda, yadda.  Putting all that useless crap aside, I'd like to say that I hope you will find my blogs useful, if for anything to make you laugh, even if it's a small chuckle.

I'll be dishing on makeup tips, tricks, reviews as well as just random thoughts I like to call "dani-isms" so this blog will be a hodge podge of both useful and useless things but always with a side order of humor!  I write this now holding my 5 month old whilst he drools down my arm, (I never realized just how hard it is to type with one hand, this sucks).  Of course while this is going on my 2 year old keeps randomly walking up to me demanding snacks, which of course I get for him only to say he doesn't want them anymore, geez then I wonder where all my time goes.  At least all this fetching may get my ass back up there where it used to be when I was 20 something.  I've always said I want an ass so perky I could set a beer on it.  Of course these days, it's green drinks and water.

Yes, I am a health food nut married to a southern fried guy so ultimately I have to make two dinners one for him and one for me.  My grocery bill is retarded I'm telling you, I spend $250 at Wal-Fart and then another $100 at the health food store.   Eating right does help with your skin and keeps you younger looking.  In later blogs I'll share with you some amazing things you can do and eat to keep you looking your best!

I welcome any all questions regarding makeup, beauty, natural health or anything you want to ask.

Well, I'm off as it seems my 2 year old is imitating Disney's "Kick Buttowski" and attempting a dare devil act............diving off the back of the couch, the joys of parenthood.
