Look Towards the Light



Have you ever thought you did "da bomb" makeup application, only to get into your car, look in the mirror, and discover that your eyeshadow is darker on one eye, your eyebrows are not evenly filled in and your foundation looks like you applied it by candlelight?

I used to have those delayed makeup reality checks, but I discovered if I position my makeup mirror towards my light source (which is usually overhead), then I could see exactly what I was doing without any annoying shadows on my face.

Try it and tell me what you think. Remember, don't look into the light, just position your mirror towards the light.

A Lot of Love

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

This is Isela Chavira-Wu and her husband James. It was such a pleasure creating two completely different looks for her wedding day and reception day. She knew exactly what she wanted, she was very easy going, and most importantly, she trusted me.

This Valentine's Day I choose to lift up Isela for two reasons: 1) As a result of us working together, she has shown me ALOT OF LOVE, by referring her friends Lacey Lyons, Desiree Moreno, and Karina Rojas to me. (Referrals... the highest compliment anyone can give a makeup artist.); and 2) I love this first picture because it captures a beautifully loving, tender moment between two people in love.

Again Happy Valentine's Day Everyone! Muah!!!

When Boy Loves Girl

The one thing that fascinates me the most is when a boy loves a girl.

It's fascinating when A MAN PURSUES his love interest and THE WOMAN DECIDES if there is actually going to be a relationship. Ladies, don't forget the power you have to make good choices. Don't be the girl he wants to date. Be the girl he needs to marry!!

The following women know exactly what I'm talking about and I was honored to ROCK their look for them on their very special day:

Talking Head



Do your makeup skills resemble the makeup application on the right side of the doll's face? Would you be interested in learning how to apply makeup resembling the left side? If so, please sign up for a class.

My makeover lesson is both practical and enjoyable for teenagers and women of all ages who want or missed the opportunity to learn useful makeover tips. Whether you’ve been wearing makeup for awhile or if you’re just beginning, learn how to: 1) Conceal blemishes and dark circles; 2) Correctly apply eye shadow and eyeliner; 3) Apply false lashes, and much, much more. This lesson is 2 1/2 hours, in depth, and hands on.

I've had such a great response to my "Be My Valentine" Makeup Lesson Deal that I've modified the terms so many more can learn how to apply their makeup correctly too.

Now through February 14th, you can purchase a certificate for the makeup lesson at the special price of $100 (reg. $200) and you will have until June 30, 2013 to redeem it.

Click here for more details or call me directly at 310-869-8383 to purchase certificates.

Just think, if I can do this on a doll head, how much more I can show you!

Print Your Presents

A client recently told me she made an online purchase for a gift certificate for services at Monique Powers Beauty Boutique. That was news to me since I had never heard of this particular website and I never received a penny from her purchase.

To prevent this kind of fraud from happening again, you can now go directly to my website moniquepowers.com and purchase and print or email your own gift certificates knowing that they will be honored by me. You can choose either a gift dollar amount or a gift service.

Do you have a computer but you don't have access to a printer? Problem solved. You can either come in person to purchase a gift certificate or call me at 310-869-8383 and I will take care of all the details for you.

It's time now to tell everyone what you really want for Valentine's Day!

Santa Monica's Newest Attraction


Just a reminder that I've moved my studio to a fabulously private salon suite in Santa Monica and I'm still doing airbrush makeup, facials, makeup lessons, eyebrows, spray tanning, waxing, etc.

Remember, there are 10 days left to schedule your makeup lesson at the reduced rate of $100 (reg. $200). Call my new number 310-869-8383 to schedule your appointment now.

Also, doesn't my facial bed look relaxing and inviting?
