Busy City Girl Makeup-Photography by David Dolsen

The setting was a busy West End sidewalk on a sunny summer day in Vancouver…. The stunning model was Kortney Krystik… The photographer, talented David Dolsen… Who else?
This was a whole day of makeup, modelling and shooting… With 3 different looks.

The first makeup look that I applied on Kortney started off light and natural, with a focus on her beautiful brown eyes. I applied long cluster false eyelashes on top of her natural lashes, and topped it off with a couple coats of Benefit’s BADGal Lash mascara to help blend them in. This created the “Girl the Next Door” look and was shot by David at a well know art piece at English Bay…

The second makeup look that I applied was a very dark smoky eye; the crease consisting mainly of MAC’s Print eyeshadow, then MAC’s Goldmine eyeshadow on the inner corners and brow bone. This created the “Mysterious Beauty” look and was shot by David in a West End apartment…

And finally the last makeup look consisted of MAC’s Ruby Woo Lipstick to add some fiery red hot lips to create Kortney’s “Bad Girl” feel. This look was shot by David on the busy sidewalks of Denman Street in Vancouver’s West End.

It was a long and fantastic day. Thanks to Kortney and David!

Mika Does Seattle… on the 4th of July

On our recent weekend trip out to Seattle, we stayed not too far away in Bellevue at my brother’s apartment… (A really pretty, wealthy & new city.) This is where we spent most of the day outdoors enjoying the sights and sunshine. We rollerbladed around Lake Union, and took a tour of Seattle aboard the “Ride The Duck” boat/bus around the city. We ate a massive meal at Maggiano’s in Bellevue which left us bloated and full for hours. We had an ice cold frappaccino at the FIRST EVER Starbucks in the World, and I bought a oversized souvenir mug.
