ABOUT-SMCHEZ
At Serai Belle Studios, Inc. we understand that taste is subjective. What is considered good skin care for one person  is not necessarily the same for another. Quality however is universally understood. Serai Belle Studios, Inc. also believes that the ingredients that are placed in its personal care line are equally important as the way in which it complements the clients’ beauty. S.M.C.H.E.Z. Lipwear line has been formulated on these beliefs.
Infused with a 5 dimensional active technology and a perfect blend of smooth and luscious colors, S.M.C.H.E.Z Lipwear is enriched with a number of key ingredients that condition the lips. This compelling blend of deep moisturizers, emollients, protective antioxidants and healing botanicals include vitamin E, jojoba oil, avocado oil, aloe, shea butter, chamomile extract, coconut oil, and lemongrass extract. Together, these naturally derived actives help moisturize, soften and smooth weather-damaged skin.

Getting Made! Behind the scenes; Hair and Make-up

I Think I Made It!!

                                                                                                                      
Being Made is not just about a makeover, it’s about reinventing yourself, it’s about defining who you were, who you are and who you want to become. Regardless of the life obstacles you may face, the essence of a true make over comes from the change within. That change sparks a light or a inner glow that will eventually grow and shine through, allowing people to experience the change in you.
So check out my next video. I had the opportunity to be part of Kylee’s Made experience. Kylee is an adorable young lady with passion and great devotion to her family.

Good Shoot Gone Bad!!! A Miami Make Up & Hair Editorial

Good Shoot Gone Bad!!!

Bad-AZZ that is!! LOL. Well, this was a fun photo shoot. It was spontaneous and creative, it reminds me why I got out from behind the Make-up counters and the Salons. The drama in the Salons can be a bit much and boring at the same time. You know what I’m saying… Don’t get me wrong, you will definitely find some drama on the set too, but for some reason it’s more exciting. LOL. Oh and it’s not always the same people so it forces you to deal and work with different personalities. Check it out…

Photo shoot, Hair and Make-up for Miss Universe (future???)

So I am watching the Miss Universe competition and I really hope Yendi Phillip wins. She is doing fantastic!! I met Yendi Phillip in Jamaica about a year ago when worked on a photo shoot with her and several other Jamaican models. Yendi is one of the most positive, bright and uplifting  person that I have met in the past year. She encouraged me to read a book called “Conversations with God,” reading this book began the  much needed change in my life. I am grateful for our meeting and working together. Congrats Yendi and continued success!!! smchez.

RICKY ROZAY & DRAYA MICHELE; SOUTH BEACH MIAMI, MAKE-UP WITH INK

Make- Up with INK!!!

Ricky Rozay, Draya Michele and London, what do they have in common??? Well whether it’s permanent or temporary, there’s something about painting on the face or body that is intriguing and addictive. Millions of women around the world can’t bear going ink-less or I should say make-up less during their normal morning routines, some even make a living by setting the standard and fashionable trends through out the world. Meanwhile the rest of the world, both men and women make their artistic statements with tattoos. Yes… Tat, Tat, Tat-ing It Up has found its way to main stream media. Tattoos date back as far as 3000 BC, and scientist have found ancient evidence of these skin markings in several cultures though out the world. Fast forward to 2010 (5000 years later) These decorative markings are seducing human canvas at record numbers with the help of this generations talented tattoo artist who innovate and renovate as modern Picassos, Rembrandt and the likes. Some may argue and say there is no comparison, but in 2010 who is more popular? The locked up Van Gogh or the walking “Celeb” with his/her cool tattoos?? Never the less, regardless the project, when I have my Make-up Artist hat on (not to be confused with my chemist hat) my job is to make my canvas(es) spectacular as the Mona Lisa de Leonardo Da Vinci.
SO check it out… Behind the scenes; Urban Ink Photo shoot with Rick Ross, Sexy Sassy Draya Michele and Miss Lovely London.
