Beauties At The Bar...: September 2012

My dear friend of over 20 years came into the beauty bar because for the month of July, she was celebrating her birthday!  Jimeka Katherine is a beautiful and phenomenal woman. A full time Masters Program student at Howard University School of Divinity, full time wife, full time entrepreneur holding down 17 companies (lol), my friend has got it going ON, do you hear me?!! So I feel so honored each and every time she comes to me for a special occasion.

On this occasion, Jimeka Katherine planned on having professional photographs taken of her and her best friend, hubby Gene for her birthday. They were going to a beautiful spot in Annapolis to do so. Jimeka Katherine has been lifestyle conscious for over 2 years now and her new outlook has really paid off. She wanted a new look to go with her “new look”, so she came to The Beauty Bar!

Mek arrived to the Beauty Bar with tea in hand ready to work. Having already consulted with her on her look, I showed her the two choices she would be choosing from. From there, we were able to come up with a personalized look all her own. Mek expressed that she had an affinity for the line Bare Minerals because of their campaign of honoring the everyday woman, so that’s where Mek drew her inspiration from. However, Mek said that although she wanted a natural everyday look, today, she wanted her eyes to pop and she also wanted a little lip. Knowing how fabulous Mek is, I knew what she wanted.

Mek’s flawless complexion and doe eyes and mile long eyelashes made my work very easy. While Mek got business calls from her coined term; “Mobile Oval Office”, I was at work trying to make sure Mek felt calm, and didn’t worry about what her makeup was going to end up looking like. Mek agreed to go with “Bootycall” on her lid and from the Naked Palette. Her cheeks took from the Mehron palette and on her lips Sugar Cookie from Bare Minerals and C-Thru overtop from MAC.

When Mek was finished, just as her calls started to try to take her out of her tranquil Beauty Bar zone, she looked into the mirror and screamed! “AWWWWWWWW, I LOVE IT!!” Mek seemed very pleased with her new look, which she now calls; “Simply Mek.” I hope you like it as much as we did.
