Makeup, Fashion, and Glamour at the 2012 MET Gala

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012

Last night  the Met Gala took place in NYC , the celebs were out and they looked great. Viewers got to watch live stream on Vogue.com  all the celebs walking the red carpet for the first time ever. I was back and forth on twitter and the live stream and my TL was crazy, with everyone shouting out their favorite dressed celeb. So here’s a few of my LM fav’s from last night’s MET gala

Chanel Iman  looks beautiful wearing Tom Ford on the red carpet, her makeup was supermodel sexy. Her Smokey eye was the best eye makeup look, I saw all night. Chanel wears a smokey eye well, because she has small but round eyes so the makeup look just draws you in to her beautiful face. If you go to the Lipstick Mixtapes YOUTUBE channel I have a get the look Chanel Iman smokey video. #Makeup

My two favorite colored dresses of the night were on January Jones and Solange Knowles. They gave us Bright,Bold and Sexy on the red carpet with these gorgeous yellow dresses. January’s was knee length and she did Red lipstick with her dress! While Solange in the same color went for a nude lipstick, I love the versatility same color dress, different skin tone, and they both are  equally stunning ! #Fashion

Anna Wintour holds the #Glamour card. She IS Fashion! Editor in Chief of Vogue Magazine, Anna Wintour looks great anytime she walks onto the red carpet. I mean who wears fur in May? Anna!  She is a designers dream when it comes to approval and she has inspired many stylist and fashionistas to live for fashion. I watched her documentary a few years ago and I was inspired by her hard work and determination to make the fashion world her domain and she had done just that!

*Ladies kept the makeup minimal and fresh at this years Met Gala. Soft Eye makeup, and rich lip colors…

Burgundy Lips are a in for Spring. Don’t wait for Fall

Strong brows, minimal eye makeup and a nude or deep lip. Both looks are stunning all you see is skin, not makeup!

Rihanna and other Celebs do ‘No makeup’, Is this a trend?

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012

Hey ladies

Have you all seen the photos of celebs trotting around without makeup?  I’m not going to front  I know I’ve been there, — ugly clothes, head scarf, hiding underneath a hat barefaced, — but the difference is I don’t have  cameras following me around to feel ashamed. So when I saw this on a  few of my fav makeup girls I have to ask, what statement are they trying make?

Solange started it last week when she attended a gala and appeared to be  dare I say…all dressed up and MAKEUP LESS. I said hold up I know you are gorgeous and all,  but where are you going wearing this beautiful dress and nothing on your face?!!

I am all for a ‘no makeup’ makeup look. These women and you my LM loves are all beautiful no matter what, but this just looks unfinished… I love you Solange but you got me with this one!

More celebs makeup less and proud!

Paula Patton in this month’s issue of People Magazine. She looks gorgeous, but no makeup…

Rihanna, no makeup… but I know she doesn’t care.

What are your thoughts?

Loves, are you wearing makeup every time you leave the house? Are you bold enough to try the ‘No Makeup’ trend at public events?

Kim Kardashian lands another top cover!

Friday, April 13th, 2012

Our girl Kim Kardashian has done it again, she’s landed her latest cover and it’s not the one you recently seen on US magazine!

No she has landed the coveted cover of the new makeup book FACE to FACE by Scott Barnes celebrity makeup artist. Scott is known to BEAT A FACE, and here Kim is hot, with her signature smokey eye, and with Scott’s signature touch she just looks great! This is why I love makeup! Scott Barnes has been in the business a long time well over 15 years, so you know he’s a maestro in the game  #GLAMTASTIC!

Scott’s last book had the ever glamorous Jennifer Lopez on the cover and it was natural beauty to the max! The cover shot was  overall  beauty makeup , with  major highlighting and contouring and  inside were numerous tips and tricks on the art of transformation. I will for sure be picking up my copy of the book which comes out early September and I hope to find more professional makeup artist secrets to continue to perfect my craft!

Rihanna does a Dark lip for Spring

Monday, April 9th, 2012

Who better than the worlds top musical  icon to prove to you that you can wear a dark lip for spring! Miss Rihanna is at it again, giving us beauty like never better before. Ri Ri is gracing the covers of Elle Magazine and she is killing the game as usual.

This isn’t the cover shot but this is the shot that made me do a double take ! Chick has on a dark lip for the May issue of Elle MAg and it’s spring, ok going against all the Spring Rules but hey that’s Rihanna  for you! Miss i don’t give a damn!

I love the look she rocks it with this bold and dark lip color that I absolutely love, but I can see how this could go with your spring time wardrobe. It adds a bit of mystery to the look and that I love !

Dawn Richards does Tribal Makeup for new Single “Bombs”

Wednesday, April 4th, 2012

If you haven’t seen the new video from Dawn Richards formerly of Danity Kane, formerly of   Bad Boy! you need to check it! Dawn is so  this talented  and she is truly a survivor! From New Orleans, then  Diddy, and now on her thing, she is  on a full charge to do her!

The makeup in the video is terrific. I love when artist step out of the box of doing traditional beauty makeup and get creative. I know you may be saying  Tribal Makeup, its been done before, well yes it has but every time it’s re done and it’s done RIGHT  that makes me take notice! Her skin is flawless, highlight on the cheeks is beautiful, I love a strong highlighted and contoured face and that smokey eye is the business. The costuming in the video is pretty cool! Seems like anthem songs such as this always call for military uniform or some sort of  high chief  feathers or something crazy, but I love it, You go DAWN!

peep the video for more
