The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of events, which is why the posts have been sporadic, so to get away from the chaos I took some time to do some portfolio work.
I was lucky enough to spend some time with Arianne, a co-worker of mine, who was willing to help me document some of my work for my makeup portfolio. This girl is already naturally gorgeous sans makeup and enhancing those features with a couple different looks was just tons of fun.
In this first look, I decided to play with her favorite color - green. For my tanner sisters out there that are still a bit hesitant on the thought of playing with greens, teals, and blues, this look is proof that even us brown honeys can pull off a daring color combo.
Greens compliment Arianne's skin nicely, which will explain why she loves the color so much. And with the island weather being rather good lately, keeping the colors cool just seemed suiting.
Here are the look details:

I really enjoyed both pieces although I have to say that I do love how the gold base of MAC Cash Flow paint pot peeped through the silver (MAC Electra) in the second look. Stunning in the real! Isn't she a doll?!?!
I hope everyone is having a great week so far. I have a couple more willing candidates booked to help showcase some talent so be sure to stay tuned for that!
Aloha,
Mrs. Lynne

Hey Julie,
Thanks for the compliments hun. And if you're ever serious about an important event like that, I'm more than willing to consider it if it makes sense for both of us :)
How are you doing anyways?
Thanks nilla cookie! I had a lot of fun doing it and she was such a pleasure to play around with. Next... YOU!! :D
Aww... you're such a sweetheart yummy411. Thank you for the words of encouragement. I definitely was in need of some makeup-therapy, hah!
That is very sweet of you to say Anne. Thank you kindly for that! I hope you're enjoying your new goodies from the convention!! (I'm soooo jealous!) :D
Thank you slvrlips! Hope you have some fun events planned this weekend :)
I definitely have those falsies on reserve for something even more banging juvenescent! Hah. What that look is? I have no idea yet but one day it will be revealed ;) Hah.
Delft is my favorite too Hijabi Apprentice!! And it really gave the Chartreuse pigment such a nice color to bounce off of.
How is the bun doing so far?
Thanks Seymone!! How are you doing mama?? Hope you and the kiddos are well :)
Thank you for the compliment. I'm glad you like Grayburn :)
Thanks always Britt. Arianne was definitely a great person to play with :0
That means a lot coming from you, Sis Ren. We can definitely hold each other accountable as our portfolio expands :) Watching you grow has definitely kept me inspired.
OMG!! these are super duper "galing"!!! :) i love love! thank you thank you for giving me guts to use red lippies! your second look is mega inspiring. the 1st one is sooo chic! like from the 60's in hawaii! :)
she's so pretty. her skin is glowing!!
i'm sooo in awe!
Oh I know. I need to upgrade man. I didn't think I was going to max out my bandwidth limit already. The bf already explained how it happened. I didn't know -___-*. But yea I'll work on it. I'll prolly reupload the pics on blogger hehe.
nice job sis!
Awww.. thanks Shen! You're such a sweetheart :D How are things back where you are?
You did a great job and your friend is very pretty! What nationalities is she? Can I be a model the next time I visit home? I would love to see what look you would do on me. =) And how are your kiddies?

Hey Krystle!
Thank you very much girl. Arianne is mostly Hawaiian, I think. She definitely has some amazing features and it was a lot of fun working with her.
You can most definitely be my model!! Yay. I'd love to do your makeup!
Thanks for asking about the tykes. They are doing well and doing what they do best - getting into EVERYTHING! Lol.
How are you doing? Are you planning on coming out here soon?
Thank you for the kind compliments Askmewhats! I really appreciate it hun :D
Thanks sis Chris! I'm definitely having a lot of fun doing makeup on others. It's a nice change of scene from doing it on myself, lol. I also find it a bit easier doing it on others because their eye is in front of me rather than reflected through a mirror. Weird, huh? Lol.
Hope you're having a wonderful Aloha Friday!
Thanks Emilee! When I did the second look I just erased her eyes because I had a feeling that I wouldn't be able to replicate the brows again, hah. You know how you feel when it comes out pretty good, that you don't feel like you could do it again? That's exactly how I felt, lol!
Happy Aloha Friday girl!!
Hi Ading Stephie! Thanks for your kind words sis :D Glad to see you stop by again. I miss you. I hope things are going well and that school is being nice to you :)
Happy Aloha Friday to you my love!
You are too sweet Jaimie :) Thank you for your comment!
Shooot! Almost missed you there Anne! Sorry :)
I'm glad you'll be upgrading your account! Sorry you'll have to pay for that, but we'll deserved, hah. I've just been renewing my every 3 months or so.. cheapo, lol!
Hope you're having a great Aloha Friday so far hun!
Thanks Sis Nessa! Glad you like :D
