Phenomena Palette
Phenomena Palette As we are starting to shift into the holiday party season, I wanted to focus on how to do the fourth & final Authentic Beauty signature fall look-Phenomena. This is a fun and frisky look that goes great with any party dress. Phenomena is/are (help me out here) also an awesome date night look for anytime of the year. The focus of the look is the mossy green or sage green lid. This bright, but not neon green flatters any eye color, yet especially brown.

But just wanted to toot Authentic Beauty’s own horn for a little bit & throw it out there that lots of Atlanta media outlets love us too! First & foremost, the fabulous Jessica Dauler of Q-100’s Jessica Shops touted me as the Brow Guru of Atlanta & my eyebrow shaping techniques were voted the best in town. I felt incredibly honored to be named this & to this day work on Jessica’s brows. I thank her so much for giving me that title! As I mentioned in my last blog, we shared Tova Gelfond’s birthday with her
