Meet YelenaWe are excited to introduce you to Yelena Kopaygorodsky! She comes to us with over ten years of makeup and skin care experience. She is a trained esthetician and has a talent for making the skin look radiant, while enhancing features naturally. We sat down with Yelena and asked her ten questions about herself. Read what she says. I would have to say the 50s Pinup look, love the red lips. What is your favorite type of makeup to do? My specialty is a smoky eye with long lashes. What is your fondest experience with a client?I love when a client is amazed by their transformation, while I enhance their natural beauty. If you were not a makeup artist, what would you choose to be?I'd probably be either in fashion or an interior designer. Do you have any hobbies?I like to paint, draw & dance. Married, Engaged, Dating or Single?Single Any children?No Any pets?No, but I'd love a dog. Who was your biggest influence creatively?My grandfather for getting me my first professional paint brushes & introducing me to an artist. Who is your favorite makeup artist?There are so many.

Inspiration Shoot

Inspiration Shoot
We recently had the pleasure of working with some amazing women on a special inspiration shoot. Erin Proud of Proud to Plan and Lindsay Docherty of Lindsay Docherty Photography orchestrated a beautiful event to show off the creativity and talent of local Philadelphia vendors and inspire to-be-wed couples, and Nina did makeup and simple hair styling for Becky, the model for the day.
Laurita Winery served as an incredible backdrop; the last photo we are featuring is an amazing shot that shows the sun setting behind a field of grapevines. Check out the beautiful photos below, as well as the write up and more photos of the day in Ruffled Blog.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
Nov. 16, 2011
IPLIPL (intense pulse light) has
become the single most popular light devices in use today. Results can
easily parallel those of "true lasers" for many indications. Most IPL
systems emit light with a range of wavelengths, anywhere from 500 nm to
1,200 nm. With this range of wavelengths, water, melanin and hemaglobin
all act as possible chromophores in the skin.
As a result we are able to
address, solar lentigo, telangiectasia, Rosacea, fine lines,
dyschromia, discoloration left from acne scarring. The treatments takes
about 15 - 35 mins. The treatment is very effective on most areas of
the face and body and helps to reduce profuse redness from Rosacea and
broken capillaries as well as pigment irregularities from old sun
damage. It feels similar to a rubber band snapping on the skin, Most
people need 2-4 treatments to get the best result.
The second time that I met with Jill (October 27th, 2011), she decided that it would be best
to work on the broken capillaries around my nose and some of the sun
damage (age spots) that I have by doing IPL. She warned me that it was more 'snappy'
than painful and she was right. The results that I saw with this treatment were close to miraculous. I noticed right away that the capillaries around my nose had disappeared and the color of my skin looks more even.
What I notice the most so far is that my skin feels brighter and firmer. This is a result of the combo of the microderm and the IPL. Here are some photos. All no makeup and no retouching.
