Hey there, my name is Brett Freedman. I'm an LA based make up artist and owner/creator of VANITYMARK Cosmetics. I don't often read blogs and I've never 'blogged' before... until today that is. Now that I've dipped my toes in this world... I'm hooked! So, break a bottle of champagne, cut a ribbon or throw on an extra coat of mascara...here we go!
Patricia Heaton
I've worked with Patty Heaton for 10 years now. It was 1997, I had just moved to LA and had been working with the great celebrity photographer Greg Henry. There was this new show that was heading into its second season called 'Everybody Loves Raymond'. He was shooting the female lead on the show and asked me if I was interested in doing her make up for a small magazine (i.e. small budget!) called Aspire.
Though 'Raymond' was not a runaway hit at the time, I knew it was a critic's favorite and that Patty was quite pretty. The shoot went great, and she and I hit it off... I've worked with her ever since. I didn't do her for the tapings of the show, but instead I did her Emmy appearances, magazine covers, book tour, talk shows appearances, commercials, press junkets, PSA's and whew... and the list goes on!
Patty has a new show coming out this fall, 'Back to You' with Kelsey Grammer on FOX. They play news anchors at a small station in Pittsburgh which just happens to be my home town! I've heard the show is great and I know Patty adores Kelsey and is having a ball.
Okay, so by now you're asking: "Where's the beauty info in this 'beauty blog'"?! As I said, it's my first blog. I'm not sure how much set up is too much! So without further ado, here's the skinny:
For Patty's new role, she wanted to change up her look to separate her new character from the gal she played on 'Raymond'. She decided to go blonde. She had her color done in Beverly Hills at Frederick Fekkai. Wow! What a change! It's so great to mix it up a bit, to see yourself in a new light. I know Patty loved the results, and I definitely had fun editing her make up bag and playing with new colors to compliment this new look. She's a blonde now... time to make it her own!

The Look:
We shot this at photographer Kate Romero's studio in West Hollywood. A simple beauty story that, when I saw the finished result, ended up being one of my favorites we've done together.
Enjoy Pretty,

Foundation: Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Glow Sheers
I mixed 'Medium to Tan' with 'Bronze Glow'. These are great for giving your face a beautiful finish without the feeling of heavy make up...it's very light but gives just enough coverage.
Blush: Stila's Convertible Color in shade 'Petunia'
How fun are these! I carry every shade with me at all times! I know when you look at them they look crazy bright, but fear not, they aren't. They are like water colors. They go on sheer and make the skin look 'lit from within'.
Brows: VANITYMARK's Ultra-Brow Pencil in shade 'Blondie'
Patty used to be a 'Milk Choco' gal, so I had to pop this new, lighter shade in her purse!
Lip Pencil: MAC's Cremestick Liner in shade 'Creamkiss'
What a fun, warm lip shade. I lined and filled in Patty's lips.
Lip Gloss: Benefit's Her Glossiness in shade 'Didn't Hear it From Me'So there's a little glimpse into what I do and how I do it. My fingers are crossed that this entry gave you a little insight. Maybe it brought a new product or idea into your world. Thanks for reading and check back soon for more!
A sheer, peachy shade that give a beautiful lift of color. I love Benefit's glosses!
Enjoy Pretty,
Brett
