In my line of work I come across so many people who either are in the "BUSINESS" or aspiring to be, so here it is.....industry professionals and up and comings, this blog is dedicated to you. This includes singers, actors, models, and trainers in the health/beauty industry. Are you on top of your game!?! There is such emphasis on weight and your body here in the Los Angeles area which is a VERY IMPORTANT but sometimes the face is all forgotten about. What I mean is that just because you are still young and in your early twenties does not mean you shouldn't get facials. Injectables are frequently used here which is fine, but if you didnt have to use them wouldnt that be great! A lot of times people "stereotype" that facials are for older people or are just a spa luxury on a vacation get away! Actually if you are in any of these industries or just want to avoid going under the knife for as long as possible I recommend getting regular facial treatments. I get it, we all lead very busy lives these days, but even more of a reason to take care of yourself!! You don't have to take an hour but only 30 minutes will make a difference!! Depending on what your focus is. If its acne, dullness, hyperpigmentation(sun spots), fine lines, dehydration, or just maintaining a bright glow. This can all be accomplished in 30 minutes and very affordable depending on what your target is. If you do have acne, that will usually take several consistent treatments to see the difference, but is well worth it. Lets FACE it in this industry your face is just as important!! Like a trainer is to your body, let me be the trainer for your face! :) Let me list some of the benefits…..
1. Smooth texture
2. Make-up and skin will look smooth for photo shoots or film(do the last treatment at least one week prior)
3. Preventative care for long term aging, damage.
4. Treats acne
5. Shrinks pores
6. Brightens
7. Balance the skin Oils/Dryness
*** A treatment I am doing @ Damone Roberts Beverly Hills is "The Pumpkin Enzyme Peel."***
The reason I chose this particular facial peel is the fact that it is very effective and there is not any down time. Many times people are scared to get treatments right before an event or special occasion because they are afraid of serious redness or irritation. This treatment will do everything that is needed to achieve the benefits listed above. This treatment will reveal fresher, softer, glowing skin!
This is the perfect fit in facial for everyone. Once you are on a regular schedule of treatments then your facials will progress at different levels so your skin continues to be challenged. This can consist of adding glycolic and lactic types of peels. I am a true believer in what I do and practice what I preach! If you arent getting treatments its time to start. Always remember to "LOVE THE SKIN YOU ARE IN!" XOXO Beauty Brow Maven @ Damone Roberts Beverly Hills.

Sometimes Its Just All About The Hair!
Sometimes a girl wants a change with her hair but doesn't want to have to chop it off to change the look. I have longer hair and I wanted to stay on top of trying to achieve different looks with my length without having to have a massive haircut. Hair can make or break a look... and lets face it, its just as good as any great accessory out there!! My blog today is about how to step out of your hair rut and create fun looks for Spring. Before I continue lets talk about the basics, the first important step to the health of your hair is you must always stay on top of a good trim. I recommend every six weeks. This will get rid of those split ends and overall give a healthier shape and look to you hair. Shampooing and having a great conditioner for your hair type is a must! Any time you are using heated tools to your hair make sure you put on a thermal heat protector. This is important as it will create an invisible protective shield prior to styling. If you can handle not washing your hair everyday I would highly suggest it. When we wash so much we are stripping our natural oils from our hair, these natural oils are our built in conditioners.( For those that dont have to wash a lot good thing "GYM HAIR" is in...picture below.) I always do a day in between and on my off day I will wear my hair up or use dry shampoo. I will list several go to products that I have used and love at the end of my blog. If you can go even longer in between that's great! I have pulled pics from the Spring/Summer fashion runways 2012 that any hair enthusiast can be willing to try. The looks range from the "Top Knot," "Gym Hair," "Wrap It Up," "Center Part," "Side Part," and "The Retro." There are many celebrities that are doing the "HeadBand Braid" as well as the pony tail look, it can be sleek or high and wavy. The options are endless!! The key is finding what best suits you. Remember always have fun in whatever you do with your looks its all about self expression!! Happy hair DO-ing!!!! XOXOXO Beauty Brow Maven @ Damone Roberts Beverly Hills

Spring POPS of color!!!
Spring is around the corner....what does that mean?!?! Shedding those layers of clothing, bright fun colors, birds chirping, and sunshine baby!! I wanted to write about how you can incorporate fun pops of color to your Spring wardrobe and makeup without breaking the bank. The look for Spring 2012 ranges from floral, bright neon to the emeralds. Sky is the limit with all the fun colors and patterns! Here are some ideas......
- Experiment with colors on the lids, with shadow or liners. From aquas, greens, to purples. You can place a swipe of shadow on the lid and shadow it a little over the crease or play around with the colored liners and line the top of your lid or wing it out.
-You can also add pops of color on the lips…from red to neon pinks and oranges. This is an easy way to add color in a playful way. When doing this let your lips be the focal point of the face. Keep the rest of the face a little neutral if this is something new for you. If you are an experienced vixen feel free to add light color other places. Whichever you choose be sure to OWN your look!
-Bright colors or pastels on your finger nails can make a statement.
-Shoes, Shoes, Shoes! Add fun with a pair of shoes. If you don't want to invest in a whole Spring wardrobe a bright colored pair of shoes or sandals will keep you on trend. Lets be honest, you can never have too many shoes!! ;)
-A purse and jewelry accessories are another way to add pizazz.
What ever you decide always remember to be true to yourself, that alone will make you "SHINE" for SPRING! XOXO Beauty Brow Maven @Damone Roberts Beverly Hills

Eyebrows Eyebrows Eyebrows!!
Lets talk about eyebrows. Everyone has them, they come in all shapes, sizes and colors. Eyebrows really do frame those eyes and are the backdrop to everything else on the face. A picture without a frame is comparable to a face without finished eyebrows!! I have always done eyebrows and they are always the first thing I notice on people from as long as I remember. Any close friend of mine can tell you that I have always been a little obsessed with peoples eyebrows!! Well its funny how life is a constant journey and I end up at Damone Roberts Salon in Beverly Hills.....in other words "THE EYEBROW KING." Needless to say it has taken my whole eyebrow journey to a whole NEW level!! I wanted to pay tribute to EYEBROWS and some great products that I truly believe can complete that finished precise eyebrow for you at home. First off I want to say if you cant get to an appointment with me in Beverly Hills ;) or to our location in New York go to a reputable Eyebrow Artist to get the perfect shape for your face. Remember there are many people that CLAIM to do eyebrows but I truly believe you want to find someone who's passion and expertise are eyebrows. Its makes a world of difference! Once you have had your eyebrows done to your liking these are the tools you can use at home to maintain a polished look to your brows. I know first hand that these products are FAB as I work with them daily!! So here it is.........
Step 1- If you have sparse areas on your brow we have a wonderful product called "Brow Gain"
Apply where needed and it will condition the brow hairs and stimulate the hair follicle. This product works but consistency is key! You will see results within 6-8 weeks.
Step 2- Choose a shade that closely matches your brows or slightly a bit lighter...at Damones we have many options such as our brow shadows that come in various shades, brow pencils, and our newest product the tinted brow gel. All of these are great options to fill in and shape the brows.
Step 3-If you do use our brow shadow you want to purchase shadow/eyeliner brush. Its the perfect angle to fill in color and with its dual end you can brush the brows as well!
Step 4-Once you are finished shadowing and filling in, you want to use one of our highlighters to place under the brow and accentuate the arch. This can be blended with our highlighter/concealer brush.
Step 5-Last but not least brush on the finishing touch that holds everything in place with our clear brow gel that will tame even the most unruly brow. Great for men and women!! (Also now available in colors)
All of these products listed above can be purchased from our website at :http://www.damoneroberts.com/products.html (Let them know I sent you! ;) XOXO Beauty Brow Maven @ Damone Roberts Beverly Hills

Exfoliated Skin is Glowing Skin
Do you know the importance of exfoliating your skin?!? Do you ever get that dull tired look and envy that person with the GLOWING skin...well part of your problem is lack of exfoliating. If you have dry skin I would recommend at least once a week, oilier skin twice a week. Not only will this brighten your complexion but helps prevention of clogged pores, great anti-aging benefits. I personally love my Clarisonic brush it vibrates and sloughs away that top dead layer of skin cells, this is in every skin DIVAS regimen and usually retails for $195.00. You can also exfoliate with these great finds, in no particular order and at every price point.....................XOXO Beauty Brow Maven @ Damone Roberts Beverly Hills
