You remember Glamour shots from back in the day, well she is comig up with a team of artists to colaborate on this project. The model she used was her friend(forgive me , i totally forgot her name, but she was so nice).Anyway here are the before and afters and a few shots my girl Jill took of me while i applied her makeup! Enjoy!

Bridal Consultation

Ok So as promised here are a few pics of a bride i did...hmmm....i would say November! Psalms- wanted a lightweight natural look. We went with airbrushing for her-and i always like to tie the brides bouquet in with her look for her big day..so it all works together. Ofcourse its all the brides preference, but Miss. Pslams was open to it! Her bouquet is going to be a vibrant pink---so I decided to use some pinks from MAC and Milani. I promise i will get better with my list of products. PROMISE!

Tell me what you think!





She wanted to take a pic with her artist.....ME! Awwww




Ok, well look forward to tomorrows post!

WOW! It's been a long time......

Hi There!

I know it's been a while since i have last posted anything about makeup. I guess you could say I took a little "vacation" from makeup and my blog. It's tough being a makeup artist, especially freelancing. That means you have to hustle hustle hustle-and network and get your name out. Although I have had tremendous support from the start of my makeup career-i cannot say that i have believed in me as much as others have believed in me.

I have an extremely supportive husband who always wants me to succeed and he sacrifices time and money in order to support me and my goals. My parents have also been my fans in my corner always saying "Stace your the best!". I have too many friends who have supported me in this dream job of mine. I have a makeup buddy, Jill, who always encourages me and hasn't let me completely stop my makeup ball from rollin. We started day one in makeup together at MAKEUP FIRST, in downtown CHI-Town!

Anytime you run your own business, i realize now that it is difficult, no matter how much you like the product/service that you provide. It's a business- you have to figure out your finances, customer service, products, services, travel..etc.. all on your own. I'm glad I have had the support of friends and family. Now it's time for me to support this dream and prioritize.

I have my ball rollin again! I did a photoshoot this past saturday-and it was great! I worked with 2 great models, Kim and Katie- a great stylist, Kim- a creative photographer Terrence Blount-and i had my makeup buddy to share the shoot with, Jill. It went very well, but whew....did i have butterflys! LOL

Anyway, For this year in 2010. This blog will represent everything makeup, i will showcase looks on me and any shoots or brides that i do. As well as, the ups and downs of running StacyFaces. Don't forget the name...i got skills! LOL

Im going to post some pics of a bridal consulation that i did a few months back that i never posted!

Thanks--and I promise i will keep the Blog interesting. STACYFACES IS BACK!!!

My Bride in July....Miss Candice Jackson

Hey All!

Ok i know i haven't blogged in a while. I've been a rut! What gives? But anyway i'm out of it. I'd like to show you what i have been up to on the makeup side of things! I had the pleasure of working with a fabulous bride, Miss Candice. She had such a lovely personality and she has the prettiest smile! I had no problem trying to find her cheek bones when i applied her blush and shimmer! Her favorite color is red-so all of her girls had candy apple red dresses and OH MY!!!! Her bouquet was gorgeous--i looked like 50 roses! Anyway, I popped Candices' eyes with pinks and rosey colors as well as her cheeks and lips! She was so gorgeous! Check out her pic below and a pic of her with some of her girls! AWWWW..........

PRETTY IN PINK!!!

Awwww..the wedding season is in full bloom and we finally got our summer weather in Chicago! Yahoo! But it is so HOT! Whew! But its great weather for weddings and to take pics outside! Beautiful weather for a wedding is a bride's dream!

I have some before and afters that i took from a wedding last week. The Bride's name is Kenya and the girls were pretty in PINK! Love pink, its so girlie! Kenya's dress also had hints of pink flowers in it! I wasn't able to get the complete makeup over(you know hair out of rollers, and dresses-but the makeup was complete!
