THE INTERN! Fina's First Blog!

HI! I’m Fina Sara Faella Artist Designer Stylist’s new Intern. I really enjoy being her intern, she’s full of life and we never have a dull moment. I always enjoy her company and her beautiful son Niko as well. She is very passionate about what she does and is always so cheery in addition to that she comes in with an enormous smile; she has such a big heart for a person with such a tiny body.

Since I have started interning I have quite a few tasks to complete such as, finding a venue to host a fashion show in the near future, networking with photographers in all of New England and New York. Along with all of that I have also concluded to plenty of research for the company. . . And I’m blogging!

I am very open to learning anything and everything about fashion, everything that Sara teaches me I absorb like a sponge. I am very interested in learning the designing perspective, business standpoints and what it takes to construct and maintain a distinguished brand/ establishment. I am hoping to gain plenty of knowledge from this experience, in company with a great friendship that will last a lifetime.

In the future I anticipate to be attending an astonishing college majoring in Business and Marketing and mionoring in Visual Communications along with designing a fabulous collection of my own. A prophecy to myself would be traveling to various regions of the world to explore along with gather loads of wisdom and then maybe I will have an intern of my own. . . Needless, I will maintain a never-ending relationship with Sara and of course Niko as well.

Thank you for viewing my first Blog Post, with many more to come!

The Consultation Comes to Me

I am an On-Location Artist but every now and then a bride comes to my home. When that happens, pampering is delivered on a whole other level. When Marcia arrived to my beach condo in Westerly early Saturday morning Enigma was softly playing, candles burning throughout the home and treats waiting for her....chocolate covered strawberries, mimosa's, homemade cookies and cinnamon bun pastries.

We started our Consultation by enjoying a delicious mimosa and talking about her wedding, her theme, her dress and her bridesmaids dresses. After reviewing copies of the dresses and photographs of Marcia's hair ideas...I was so excited to get to work.

I set her hair in curls and started applying pigment to her skin and of course...EyeLash extensions! Which were practically made for her eyes...she was stunning. Most importantly she was happy! Not only was Marcia an absolute porcelain doll to work with but she was so sweet. I truly enjoyed our conversation about friends and family, I felt as though I had known her forever. I can't wait for her Newport wedding this summer!

What H2O Means For Your Skin

There are many controversies as to what water does for the skin and how much should be consumed. I have researched this topic and am happy to share my thoughts and opinions on this important beauty subject.

I am in agreement that possibly large consumptions of water is really not the most beneficial. The "8 by 8 rule", 8 glasses of water per day is actually too much water and although consuming water has many benefits to the body like flushing out toxins, it is stated that because of the high velocity rate that the water travels through the system, it does not have enough time to reach the epidermis (the outer layer of skin where pores are). It is best to use facial hydrator applications (lotions) to acquire skin hydration. Although, if an individual is extremely dehydrated the consumption of water through many sources (fruit, vegetables, bottled distilled water) will reduce acne breakouts because the toxins in the body are released and prevent these toxins from building up pores.

In addition, proper hydration can eliminate and/or reduce dark circles under the eye, sunken eyes and can restore skin plumpness. Another benefit of drinking water in large amounts for the skin is in the treatment of skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis.

Depending on the person, 4 servings of water per day will keep the body hydrated. Remember you can get your water servings from many sources not just out of the bottle.....fruits, veggies...even caffeine believe it or not....try to stay away from alcohol or choose to drink water along with it.

I hope this this blog topic was helpful!

Airbrush Makeup VS. Foundation Makeup

This is the most common question when clients are deciding "Which one should I use?". I do understand that airbrush makeup is the newest form of makeup application out, I am here to help you decide which type of application is right for you.

Airbrush Artistry when applied forms a thinner, lighter layer of foundation. In order to create a sweat resistant application it is recommended to mix in an alcohol based top coat. There is a little controversy as to whether it lasts longer than a liquid foundation application. Theater and Commercial typically do not use Airbrush technique as the pigment is not saturated nor as flawless enough to withstand lighting and the camera lens. Until, The TEMPTUPRO Airbrush Makeup hit the stands!

My personal take is Temptu Airbrush Artistry is fun to work and gives a flawless complexion and holds up even under extreme weather conditions. Normally you have to use a foundation brush to blend the airbrush foundation as well as apply concealers and correctors since the foundation application is not strong enough to cover age spots, blemishes, fine lines, redness or any other imperfections. Many makeup artist charge extra for air brush makeup applications, I do not and am happy to apply traditional foundation or Airbrush techniques at the same price.

Although I will say there is something about using a brush that makes an application process  artistic and special..contouring the face, illuminating and highlighting, saturating with rich and soft pigments, is my passion and I tend to use a mixture of both brush and airbrush.

For my makeup savvy ladies, Dior makes an airbrush can "Dior Airbrush" that is fun to work with I still had to blend it with a brush but it has a nice hint of illumination in the foundation.

Please let me know if you have any other questions and/or comments!
