Work of Art : Designs by Jovanna

The Miami Style is so thrilled to feature this talented designer. Her intricate designs are by far are amazing ! I love the composition of the jewelry, I adore every concept !


More about Jovanna

positive feed back made her think to create her my own brand.
DESIGNS BY JOVANA is  the brand of Jovana Morrison, a multi facet business which includes Jewelry & Accessories, Pet Accessories and Professional Face Painting. Her aesthetic in general is more than mainstream design. Conceived from an artistic point of view for the customer that is looking for pieces that stand out from the usual, someone adventurous who enjoy color and elements of surprice . Every piece is one of a kind 100% hand crafted; uniqueness in the design as well as the use and manipulation of materials such glass, leather, wood among others that have been up-cycled in many cases, mixing the old and new, creating a timeless, modern and edgy style. She is in the early stages of success. Her drive factor is to express herself artistically and the terapiutic byproduct that she received when creating. For years once she came to USA, she started to practice and get better at designing and creating clothing. Also her passion for fashion lead her to start collecting a broad variety of materials from bargain shops to garage sales thinking that one day she was going to use them somehow. Her friend kindly introduced her to some media sources and online boutiques so she started to write them. Then she got a reply from this exclusive Eco online store interested in her necklace prototypes. She was accepted and created for them a 10 set collection of earings, necklaces and cuffs. That project really opened her eyes to the things that she did't know she was capable of and started figuring out what her point of view and style was. The positive feed back made make  think to create my own brand. She thinks what makes her better at what she does is continually feeding her eyes with new things that happen in the fashion world. Nature always provides inspiration. Many times the limitations of tools or supplies concerning a design force me to adapt producing unespected results. Finding freedom within  limitations. that is what she likes. She started with only necklaces on black satin and hand ground glass components. Later when the high end Eco online boutique accepted her it pushed her to get out of her confort zone which lead her to upgrade the designs and materials such us leather instead of satin, hand painted designs and stain glass. After that she was ready for more variety with fewer limits. More materials and designs inspired bracelets, necklaces in mix media. It is really exiting to create textures, and interesting compositions. She have also spent some time making accessories like belts, leather ear warmers and various hats designs.

Star Spangeled FASHION

I wanted to do a makeup look that is different than most online when it comes to celebrating The Fourth of July. The Patriot (photo above) I wanted to show the passion of the American Soldier who sees no fear in fighting for their country. The tears which are the stars are tears of a new beginning.

This photo entitled Lady Liberty is my interpretation of the New Age after the Emancipation Proclamation. The statue of Liberty was a gift from the French in celebration of the recent emancipated Negro slaves . She was a statue of a woman of color being freed from slavery however, history states that the first statue had to be returned to France. They were scared since this was just a recent event to avoid riots they asked the French government to change Lady Liberty as a white woman in chains just to avoid conflict.


What products and cosmetics did I use :Lady Liberty
First I used a light primer from wet and wild cosmetics so the makeup could last a bit longer through the shoot. Then I used concealer underneath the eyes as well as primed my eyelids so my eyeshadow color can stick out. Then I applied concealer on my lips so the pink lipstick from Dior to scream for attention. Once i primed and concealed my face it was time to work . 
1.Black Radiance foundation( totally love them)
Evenly distributed and then I applied Kiss powder to smooth out the face 
2. Then Applied a cute rosy cheek powder from Bobby Brown and contoured my cheeks.( don't go past the nose if you do buff it out with your face powder)

eyes: Since I primed out my eyelids it was so easy to apply a white eyeshadow. Apply the shadow in a circular motion to cover any negative space( missed spots)
In the creases apply a strong reddish bronze and under the lower eyelash use a strong blue. Inside the lid use a cream based eyeliner preferably smashbox and glide the liner with your eyeliner brush. 

Killer brows:  Conceal your brow. Make your eyebrows disappear!
My secret for brows is find the brow bone and and draw on the top of the eyebrow and draw under the eyebrow. Use your eyeliner brush to guide inside the brow which you will have a slight color on the brow. Use your concealer above the top line of the brow you drew and underneath the bottom . The concealer will help you with stray hairs and keep your brows neat the more concealer you apply on the illustration of your brow the smaller it will appear.As a finisher in this case to make it appear blue use the same eyeshadow you used on the lower lid for your eye makeup on your eye brows and lightly guide the color. Now use your face powder with kabuki or nice firm powder brush for your forehead and use a foundation brush to buff out the bottom concealed part of your brow. Blend it carefully and take your time.
Finished off the look with a makeup setter spray  from ELF cosmetics.



That is my secret tips for today!
Toodles for now

Makeup that Sparkles

For my gifted makeup artists who look on the blog for my top picks of makeup artistry you are in for a treat. Here are some amazing creations I have found that will amaze you. In rhinestone artistry its all about the imagination. You don't have to over do it but you can wow your audience.
What I love about rhinestones in makeup it fills in the negative space on composition. Negative space meaning that what can be placed in a area that is available can be placed. Here are some of my favorite looks below.
