Makeup. Fashion. Blow Outs.

You want a physicist to speak at your funeral. You want the physicist to talk to your grieving family about the conservation of energy, so they will understand that your energy has not died. You want the physicist to remind your sobbing mother about the first law of thermodynamics; that no energy...

Boys will be boys. Gay boys...well, they will just be better boys. 

Contouring.

Your life/make up application should revolve around this. Highlighting the areas of your face where the light naturally hits and contouring the other areas with a few shades darker will transform your face. 

You know when you see photos of Kimye and you think to yourself "that bitch, look at those cheekbones!" Honey, that is all highlighter pen and some good ol' Ben Nye setting powder. 

The photos above show my step by step application in a nutshell. By highlighting the chin, cheekbones, middle forehead and bridge of nose you are making your face appear slimmer. If you are not a fan of your nose this is a great trick to make it appear nice and sleek. 

Map it out as you see in photo number 2, and blend. It will take practice, and lots of it. But once you have the hang of it, you will not be able to go out with a flat no contour face again!

I am currently using Kat Von D's foundation as a base. Then I use a Highlighter Pen from MAC for all of the brighter areas. I then use a NC40 Studio Sculpt concealer for the darker areas. You do not need much. Then I blend. I set under the eyes with Ben Nye's Cameo powder, and I go over dark areas with Matte Bronze by MAC. Finish it all off with Kat Von D's Lock It In powder. 

My products may not be the same as yours and they may not work for you as well as they work for me, but in my books they are the best I have worked with so far. Try this technique with any lighter concealer and bronzer you may have.

Practice makes perfect.

Every night I used to pray that I’d find my people, and finally I did on the open road.

We had nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore, except to make our lives into a work of art. Live fast. Die young. Be wild. And have fun. I believe in the country America used to be. I believe in the person I want to become. I believe in the freedom of the open road. And my motto is the same as ever: "I believe in the kindness of strangers. And when I’m at war with myself I ride, I just ride." Who are you? Are you in touch with all of your darkest fantasies? Have you created a life for yourself where you can experience them? I have. I am fucking crazy. But I am free.

Lately I have been hearing salons have a hate on for Moroccan Oil. Haters gonna hate. Listen, I started blowin' bitchez hurr out in 2009, and wanna know all the products I used? One pump of this lovely oil in my hands. Thats it. Yes, we have these wonderful products now that are great for your hair, vegan friendly, blah, blah, blah...but I will always have a love for this brown bottle. Not too mention the box is Tiffany Blue. Like, common! 

Oh, and last but not least, Head Huggers. When I started becoming a bleauQueen I was using Paul Mitchell's round brushes. You know the black handle, silver centre, three different sizes. They are and always will be wonderful. BUT, The Head Hugger beauties are a DREAM. The way the middle of the brush is con caved really allows you to get close to the scalp/root which gives you amazing volume. Volume you don't even have to try for, as long as you are over directing the roots. They are a bit hard to get used to, especially if you are used to the handle on the Paul Mitchell brushes, but once you have the hang of it, you will be blown' out the best blow dries in town.

Introduction

Here I will share my deepest secrets. 

Everyone is beautiful in their own way. But to truly feel beautiful is to be comfortable with your appearance. I want to make people feel fabulous without breaking a sweat or starving yourself. 

No matter your height, weight, skin tone, skin complexion, hair type, you should all feel wonderful. 

My name is Toni, and I spend my days making women feel great about themselves. I am passionate about my choice in life. I am a blow queen, make up artist, and love to make a bold statement. I believe in the term "less is more" and strive to make women feel comfortable with their hair/make up choice.

Here I will share photos of my work, and how I accomplished the look. Whether it be make up, hair, clothing, etc. As well as some motivational daily words and tasks. 

I will give right ups on my favourite products, and why I cannot live without them.

On your mark, get set, blow!
