Whenever possible I like to avoid earlier morning events where I need to look my very best, and sometimes that’s just not possible.
This morning 83 Miss Universe contestants and Miss Stefania Fernandez had to be camera ready for a 6:30am photo shoot. And without fail everyone looked fabulous. And if you are thinking,” Oh, they have it easy, being young, skinny and naturally beautiful,” to some degree your right. However, they don’t put any less effort into their appearance than most of us when we know we need to look our very best. So, here are a few tips for those early morning glamour days!
1) Drink a full glass of water and allow yourself five minutes to lay on your bed with a cold press over your eyes and breathe deep to get centered.
2) Have a check list of all the things you need to bring with you before you step out the door and check each item off before you step out the door.
3) Have all of you clothes and accessories pressed, layed out ready to jump into. (There is nothing worse than trying to figure out what you will wear at the last minute.)
4) If you can have your makeup and hair done by a professional artist (call me) I will help you relax and focus on your important event. If not, I will cover at another time the importance of photo ready makeup and stage makeup.
The Miss Universe Contestants have been preparing for this moment for weeks, some of them months so even though they make it look effortless it’s all because of their preparation. Being prepared will also help with your self-confidence.

For the next 2 weeks I am on location in Las Vegas, Nevada at the 2010 Miss Universe Pageant. I have the pleasure of spending time with the lovely Stefania Fernandez who was crowded 2009 Miss Universe last year in Bahama’s.
Tonight all the Miss Universe Contestants got dressed up for a spectacular culinary tasting at the World Trade Market in Las Vegas, NV. The food was simply amazing and the girls were all HOT, HOT, HOT. There were so many stunning dressing every which way I turned my head, but I have to say that Miss Japan really stood out from the crowd with a open back blazer and sequence black and silver pants.

By the way, I had an amazing birthday! Thank you so much for celebrating with me. I’ll post some of the pictures here this week.

Eyelashes can be a tricky thing. Majority of the people that I work with complain that their eyelashes are not long or thick enough. In this video I show you how to achieve both in this video. If you don’t have an eyelash curler, it’s time to go shopping. In my years of experience no matter the lashes a curler always adds greater lift and opens up the eye. You may be wondering which eye curler I would recommend and the truth is I have several different brands in my makeup kit because of how different everyone’s eye shape is. My eye shape is really round and bulges out a little so in this video I’m using a Revlon Eyelash curler and bend the corners in to fit my eye. Enjoy the video!
