Hop into Spring- Monave Style

March 12, 2010

Spring is HERE! I'm so excited! To me this means.... makeup room time picking out our Spring palette! Spring 2010 makeup is a smorgosbord of colors from the bold and daring to the soft and feminine! Last seasons' 80's look is still evident but for the more subtle woman the prerequisite Spring pastels are here. Two uber feminine colors that are hot right now are...

October 27, 2009

Hello! Deborah in the Monave Makeup studio I’ve been thinking about an email I received from a man who had recently lost his wife to terminal illness.
