Fast Forward Friday

jeannie — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 11:52:57 +0000

It’s no easy job looking absolutely fabulous each and every day, and I have my Pretty Posse to thank for that extra polish of perfection they put on me. We call this the “Fashion pit stop” before I head on set, and it’s actually the MOST important part of an outfit because of the finishing touches with accessories, the right shoes, right lips, touches of hair, and checks to make sure I don’t have food in my teeth since I’m always friggen eating Comment if u enjoy and I’ll keep em coming!

Hi luvs! So often the inspirational women that lose weight hold onto their old wardrobes for far too long. Even if you haven’t reached your weight goal yet, don’t wait to show off your shrinking bod. In the video above I showed how with 45 seconds and $45, anyone can find an affordable outfit to rock as they transition into their ideal figure.

Ever wondered if How Do I Look really changes the lives of the women we feature? Look to Jessica, one of our AMAZEballs guests from last season, for the answer.

A few weeks ago I had to travel to NYC to do the Spring launch of Avon’s 2012 catalog. And if you know me, you know I love a good photo shoot! Not only do I get to try on fantastic clothes, but I also get to learn new tips and tricks from my fave bests in beauty. This season I was able to work with the talented Nam Vo, who not only took me thru an insanely awesome skincare regime before my actual makeup application, but she perked my pretties to Jouer Cosmetics, an AWESOME makeup line that could possibly be my new besty on the road. I DIED how glowy my skin looked and felt that day, not to mention the glosses are a powerful, quick punch of color. I have the primer on here. Whaddya think? Do you guys dig the convenient packaging too?

If you know me, you know I am UBSESSED with color–especially when it sparkles! That’s why I was blown away when my AMAZEballs makeup artist, Uzmee Krakovszki, showed me her secret for creating glittery lips or “Glips” as I call them. It’s like wearing sequins on your face! I <3 them majorly. Watch this video that was posted on Coco Perez and learn these fabulous tips for rocking the hottest lips.

Fast Forward Fridays!

Sometimes..uh.. our makeovers don’t turn out the way I expect. Well, in this video I’m traumatized for life. Here’s Steve, our gaffer on set, who obviously has too much free time on his job. As well as my EP, Riaz who put him up to it.

Haha, love sharing stuff like this with u guys. I have THE BEST CREW IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE. I can’t even tell you how awesome every single person is. Rather than just clocking in and out to work their butts off, everyone understands the emotional impact every guest is experiencing on our show, so they really individually make sure our guests feels comfortable every step of the way. Even when I have to play fashion popo and zip those no no’s up the ew tube.

So thanks for watching the show, and supporting not just me, but the hard work of our How Do I Look crew. Send your love to em here as we’re counting down the days till our season premiere THIS SATURDAY!! 2 more days, on Style Network 8/7c. Hope you’ll be watching!

HDIL Followup on Very Special Guest – Genevieve

My fingers are gushing with excitement as I’m typing this blog out to you guys. Genevieve. The name alone just strikes the greatest feeling of joy when I think about the turning point Genevieve experienced on our show. The moment I met this woman, I was literally blown away by her beautiful, tender spirit. As host of How Do I Look, it’s always so hard for me to try to see someone the way they see themselves, because it’s usually completely stripped from the truth. Genevieve is the perfect example of that damaged perspective so many women experience from any situation or person from their past. My heart broke when Genevieve opened up to her sister at 0:33, because I TOTALLY notice that every time there’s a set of twins, people will distinguish them through this terrible description.

I’m excited for you guys to see Genevieve’s story, and more miracle makeover stories in our season coming ahead. This Saturday is the big premiere and I’m so excited! I’ll be in New York watching 3 hours ahead, so pls do tweet me @jeanniemai, or Facebook post me any of your thoughts. I love hearing from you all and appreciate so much that you’d watch to cheer these beautiful women along in their lives. We sistas gotta stick together, right? Amen!

April 2, Saturday at 8/7 c on Style Network. Will u be watching?

Favorite HDIL moment last season – Christine

Friends of my “I Heart” site, we’re only 6 days away from the official new season of How Do I Look? Can you believe it? I love Style Network’s fire cracking whip to launch out more fresh episodes to keep up with your rave reviews of how the season’s been. THANK YOU for all of your feedback on our HDIL Facebook Fan page and my Twitter @JeannieMai and Facebook Fanpage as well! I’m so excited about the episodes you’re about to see, because yes, we have even MORE outrageous O.M.G guests you won’t believe exist out there. But more importantly, with tough dressed guests come tough reality checks about what these women are going through. Take Christine here for example from last season. Christine is every definition of a SURVIVOR. Not only a breast cancer survivor herself, but a survivor who decides in this moment to pull herself away from the lies she’s been believing that she couldn’t feel sexy or even look feminine after her mastectomy. My favorite is 1:58…when you can see the lightbulb turn on for Christine. That SHE, too, can stand tall and strong like the women in front of her from here on out.

Please do tune in to Style Network this Sat, April 2 at 8/9c AND 11/12c. I’m like a vitamin. You can’t overdose from Jeannie Mai.

What’s your favorite How Do I Look moment?
