“Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world.” -Marilyn Monroe

It is finally Spring and this has definitely been a long overdue update. Sometimes life just gets so fast and busy that you have to make yourself slow down to take a deep breath.

I was so happy to have been able to collaborate with Nocturnalz Photography (http://www.nocturnalz.com) and Hoa Khôi Liên Trường Bắc Cali-Miss Vietnam of Northern California Intercollegiate (http://missvietnamnorcal.com/blog/) for this photoshoot! Moses and Jodie from Nocturnalz were great to work with and were so accommodating with everything! They were a great bunch and working with the candidates for the 2012 pageant was definitely a treat. Every girl worked the camera well and it was so fun being able to work with GLITTER! It was definitely a feat trying to get the glitter to stay in one place, but once it was on the eyelids, it was beautiful. The shine and glimmer really brought attention to the eyes and honestly, I couldn’t help but stare and say wow. The trick with glitter is to be patient and layer it on slowly. It’s okay if things get everywhere, just clean it afterwards. =) If you are wondering, silver glitter did work the best.

Until next time! <3 Christy

The artsy nail side of me. It was inspired by nature and it&#8217;s simplicity. Here I have trees and flowers with falling petals created by teardrop gemstones against a blue sky (OPI&#8217;s Teal The Cows Come Home).

www.cohomakeup.com has been updated to include HKLT Queen Thi Vu! Hoa Khoi Lien Truong Bac Cali is the Intercollegiate Pageant of Northern California that is held every year in San jose. Thi and I did an early Saturday morning session that included hair and makeup. The theme was an outdoor summery look that consisted of a brighter eye look (a metallic eyeshadow) with softer accents on the eyes and lips. The look was pulled nicely together with loose curls for Thi. 

Thanks to Tina Do for the beautiful pictures and Thi Vu for connecting the both of us.  

Model: Thi Vu
