Love Can Change the World

As I mentioned a few days ago, Loura Alaverdi got married last weekend in Miami to Renny Cabreros. They are such a fun, loving, and very passionate couple. This is what real love looks like! AMAZING!!!

Makeup in Miami


I had the pleasure of doing makeup and hair in Miami this past weekend for one of my best clients and friend, Laura Alaverdi. I’ve stayed in Miami before, but usually just for a night prior to boarding a cruise ship. This time I had the opportunity to stay a couple of days and it was fun! I can't wait to post pictures of her wedding and talk about the amazing Laura Alaverdi!

In the meantime, let's talk about me and how I STILL LOVE WEARING MAKEUP! This trip to Miami has helped me realize how much I have gotten away from playing up my eyes with dark jewel-toned colors, glitter, etc. I love it, love it, love it!

You know you love it too and have been wanting to schedule a makeup lesson but your schedule has gotten away from you and you haven't called yet. Well, summer will be here soon and I've got to spray tan you and teach you how to do "less is more" golden/bronzy style makeup, etc.

Call me now at 323-356-0125 and let's get the girls together for a group makeup lesson. Your Golden Goddess is waiting to be unleashed this summer!

The End of March Madness

My March madness ends today after I finish my wedding this afternoon. Yay!

I have worked 20 days straight without a day off from doing makeup, teaching, taking cake decorating classes, and doing A LOT of makeup. All at the expense of not blogging for the last 4 weeks. I'm back now with so much to share beginning with bridal photos of Liza Cyriac who recently got married. She is so sweet and personable even at 6:30 a.m. when I started to do her hair and makeup!

She subsequently posted a favorable review which states in part:

"Monique did a great job with me, and her assistants did an amazing job with all the girls...I would definitely recommend Monique to all of my friends! She's great, very sweet and easy to talk to. Plus, if you're of a darker skin tone like I am, she totally gets skin-tone matching, and you won't end up with a powdery-white or purple face. Everyone said I looked Flawless!"
