**Updates to this season’s Pretty Posse with fashionistas Kayla McGee and Jocelyn Garrity–stay tuned for bios
A few nights ago I took out my Pretty Posse-my talented group of hair, makeup, and wardrobe all wrapped into colorful bodies of fun, sparkling energy. These guys take my personal style and help me refresh and invigorate it into different versions of me. Because I have such exciting opportunities to dress up, I really do love to ask the famous four words to my show, “How Do I Look?” I believe style is a confident perspective of your identity, and celebrating it with the people who love you.
That said, I just had to take this wonderful group out for a magical night..to the one and only Magic Castle here in Hollywood, CA! Not only do these guys lend their talents to spoiling me, but they also get into fun events like this to the special people around us. Every outfit you see on my show starts from a moment of inspiration, with dabs and touches from each department until we create a full look that caters to the specific segment of the show. It’s brillz just making the fun lil doll of design come to life until I can put “her” on! Here’s to Norma Blaque and Hope Zarro, my hair fairies who always made sure each of my strands were sensationally sassy.
Craig Beaglehole and Bonni Flowers, my makeup stars who know exactly how to light and lift my smiling face up camera perfect for any shot.
Hollie, Megan, and Ashley, for being such dolls in helping me every way I could need. And Bory Tan, my long time love, for playing dress up with me each and every time- and helping me to make it become a reality for those who deserve that Cinderella moment around us.
Also, my most proudest CONGRATS to my Norma Blaque, for being honored “Latino Star” from BE Magazine at the ISSE show in Long Beach, CA! Thatta girl!!!
Here are some fun pics from the night, special thanks to Erin and Andrea for making our visit even more spectacular. Also some fave wardrobe changes we’ve done on my show. Enjoy!
A few of my FAVE must haves:
Ardell Lashes in #114 (stacked with more drag lashes for a smashing effect.)
MAC Carbon with #266 Brush (camera power pop to eyeliner.)
Mason Pierson Brush (gets volume to any hair, ANY hair!)
Asset spanks from Target (oh yea..they’re faves for a girl in any size. AND they hold ur phone when no one’s watching
Karen Millen anything.

I am Asian (Japanese/Chinese) and am older than you are
, but LOVE LOVE LOVE your eye makeup. Can you give me tips on the colors you use and how you apply it. When I wear false lashes, they make me look kinda tranny…they don’t look as natural as yours do.
Love you and How Do I Look?
YES!! Ask http://uzmeekrakovszki.com for ANY questions. She too is Asian and does AMAZING makeup!!
Can you please give information on the outfit you had on with the designer who did the window display? You had on look like black leggings a green top and a khaki blazer with a funky necklace.
I am looking for some to wear on a trip to Baltimore. Thanks! Keep up the great work!!
Top and blazer by In Add Minus (if around LA, the store at Westfield Century City). The pants are by Corson & the necklace is from H&M.
hello, jeannie how did you get your hair to be blue? i’ve always wanted blue hair. if i were to go to any hair dresser could they be able to recreate that look for me?
Thanks so much!! Yano, I’m coming out with a lil kit for all my Blueberries like you out there. Stay tuned…
Jeannie,
I’m a new found fan of your show. I absolutely love it. You do so much for these women in by your immeasurable ability to bring them out. you really are changing people’s lives. I would love to be a part of something like this. I know you started out as a make-up artist, but how did you get into the celeb world? that’s the big step… any tips? or need an assistant? Just thought I’d ask
-Kat
I did start out as a makeup artist, and honestly the best interview that describes my walk is this!

I also have dark hair and want to do some dark blue “hi-lights.” Do i need to bleach the pieces first or is there a dye that will work on it as is. I have used Manic Panic and N Rage before, but when I had much lighter hair. Will they work now?
Yes you do need bleach! Check out facebook for Norma Blaque, my hairstylist for exact info!
Jeannie, you are all over glamorous, but why do you wear your clothes so high up to your breasts? You would look taller if they wore at the hip. It looks as if you have no torso. Thanks
What is the brand of blue dye u use
Does anyone know the designer of the dress that jeannie was wearing on the How do i look episode with sh’areee and sh’aron? It was a short black dress that she was wearing during the part of the show wear they try on the different collections, any help would be appreciated
Just a quick question. I had my 4th kid and having a hard time losing the weight. my waist is the same size as my hips. I have a small chest, skinny arms, skinny legs. Yea, a bit unporportional. Im still wearing maternity pants (after 1 yr postpartum) because i cant find anything that fits. What kind of dress or shirt would you recommend. Im embarassed to go anywhere because I look awful, so I stay indoors and only go places when i absolutely need too. My social life is completely gone!
Hi Jeannie, I love the blue in your hair. I was wondering if there was any bleaching required to get that shade of blue with your dark hair?
There actually IS bleaching required, Lauren. If you go to BlaqueStudios.com and email my beloved Norma Blaque, she can give you more details
