Makeup2 (squared) Launch Party hosted by Me

Had the pleasure of hosting a long time friend of mine's make up launch over the weekend. Tee Burr is a celebrity make up artist who I met when I hired her for some music videos a looong time ago. I always kept in contact with her, so when she told me she was launching her own make up line called Makeup Squared and asked me to host her launch party, it was a no brainer.

The evening was filled with fabulous women, great music, good food and lots of laughs and a good time!

You have to support the line, which is the only cosmetics brand designed for women who represent all ethnicities & myriad of skin tone. And guess what, a SpoiledLatina collection may soon be in the making :)

Rita Ora

1. Any advice for the young latino (male) makeup artists looking to take his talents to the professional level?

Join network groups. Get yourself to any and all beauty-related events in your area. Whether it's a trade show, a trunk show, a store opening, or a book signing, be there with your business cards. As latinos, we tend to be very warm and friendly so we have to embrace that and use it as an opportunity to expand your services to different markets.

Meet Eric Williams

Happy Friday Spoiled Ones! 

I'm happy to share some awesome news with you, Celebrity Hair Stylist Eric R. Williams who is known for his amazing weaves/hair extensions has recently made the big move from Maryland to New York and is now being represented by my good friends at Top 5 Management. Eric is the one who introduced me to Mixed Chicks products a couple of weeks ago, because as most of you know my son is a mixed kid and I must say, the products have really helped tame my 2 year olds hair. (I'll post about Mixed Chicks real soon) 

Eric has recently worked with Selita Ebanks and Disney's McClain Sister at the White House and he just returned from Revel Resorts where he worked with Beyonce's Band and Dancers, and his biggest dream is to work with the Queen B herself...

The secret to achieving a glamorous red carpet look is to start with beautiful glowing skin and one of my must haves to achieve this look is the Pür Minerals 4-in-1 Pressed Powder Foundation.

Having mascara running down our face when we get into the pool is definitely not a fashion statement, which water-proof mascara do you recommend?

Definitely try my favorite Glameyes waterproof mascara by Rimmel London as it is the best long lasting and smudge-proof product in the market.

Which celebrity have you had the best experience working with and why?

I truly love all of my clients as they are all unique and beautiful in their own way, but I've had the best experience with Beyonce traveling the world with her team.

#1-Tinted moisturizer with like SPF #2- Mascara #3- Blush Bronzer Duo #4-moisturizing lipstick #5- Waterproof Eyeliner
