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!

“Schiaparelli And Prada: Impossible Conversations” Costume Institute Gala

*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!

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?

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!

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 !

MIX LM lipstick

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

 Keyisha Cole NBA wife to Daniel “Boobie” Gibson

Keyisha  is all to official, I love her style, her makeup looks, she is definitely around the way Glamour.

If your the type of girl that likes to chill with the boys but also look sexy while your doing it Mrs. Keyisha Cole is a good reference for that. Effortless swag and style, and all too adorable.

Keyisha will have red hair one week and black hair the next! I love it Her makeup is always beautifully done and she’s not afraid to let the colors pop. She goes from nude to bold reds and it always looks great on her. Her skin is gorgeous and flawless and she always has on beautiful full lash, which brings out her eyes.

Khole Kardashian NBA wive of  Lamar Odom

Khole my favorite Kardashian, I love her witty comebacks, she usually has me cracking up with all the slick stuff that comes out of her mouth. Her style is way to fly she’s always rocking a killer pair of stiletto boots, and of course makeup on point!

Look at this lip now you know I love it! Bold colors are in ladies, I’m telling you don’t be afraid to rock the bold pink or a sexy red. It  great to highlight one feature, it’s not necessary to have a full painted all the time. More often a great lip color is enough!

Gabrielle Union girlfriend of Dwayne Wade

This all too beautiful couple is just the poster child for relationships gone right! They have been thru the worst of worst baby mama drama, but every time you see them always smiles.

Gabrielle Union has the best skin I have ever seen! It just glows, like she’s lives in the Bahamas or something. I love this smokey eye makeup look, it not your typical black smokey which can at times look to party girl. Instead this is more of a classy and drama free look. Perfect for a date with your boo!

Hoopz girlfriend of Shaq

Hoopz is cute! I met her and she is the same height as me, kinda funny because she’s dating Shaq and he’s mui grande.

Her makeup style is lot more natural than the other ladies, but beautiful nonetheless. Hoopz definitely rocks a  dark eyeliner that brings out her eyes really well. Sort of a Cleopatra look really dark and mysterious, love it.

Well there you have ladies, Full Court Beauty for All Star Weekend 2012 !

How did everyone like last night’s Grammy Awards? I was so excited to watch the show and overall there were some really awesome moments like Bruno Mars opening performance. I really didn’t know he was that popular sorry I’ve been sleep on him but now I know. But for real lets get to the real reason why I’m here 3 things makeup, fashion and glamour!

Almost everyone looked  amazing, I chose  3 artist from each category and I’m starting with ADELE for the Winner of Best Makeup…

ADELE, she looked  beautiful, I know everyone is saying that , but seriously from a makeup artist perspective, that face was painted and girlfriend looked GOOD! I love the vintage inspired look rich red lip and light sultry eye and that contoured cheek was the greatest, you go ADELE .Honestly I’ve seen her in this look so many times and, I wouldn’t mind seeing her in something different, but for the Grammy Awards this was the perfect choice #winning

Fashion was interesting but I’ve come to expect the extremes and the cookie cutter safe taste of most artist . So the winner of Best Fashion goes to  RIHANNA

That dress is  BODY honey and she looked sexy as all get out and I just want that dress so bad!

And lastly the winner for Best overall Glamour goes to the lovely Carrie Underwood

Anyone that does a duet with Tony Bennett has to be certified Glamorous and Carrie looks stunning. Her makeup is flawless, and the lashes she’s wearing screams I am a glamour girl!

And no show would be complete without a what the hell moment and it goes to Niki Minaj I’m so mad I just can’t even get into anymore take a look and the rest is history…

There you have it my makeup, fashion, and glamour update from the 54th Grammy Awards.

Love & Lipstick

She looks amazing I love the heavy eyeliner and the plum lip color. This isn’t a look that to many women her age would attempt to wear because the eyeliner is super dramatic but it looks very good on her!

To get this look apply an eyeshadow close to your skin-shade all over your lid and add black eyeliner on the upper and lower  lash line for a sleek  smokey effect. Be careful not to blend the eyeliner to far up on the eyeshadow or it could give you more of a smokey eye and not the sleek eye look Viola has here!

Angelina Jolie

There she is Mrs. Jolie in her RED Glamorous, glory! she looks highly sophisticated and she is accentuating her best feature, her full lips! This is the best color for what she’s wearing, this is exactly what i would have put on her had I done her makeup  she looks stunning, eyes are a soft smokey with a subtle winged eyeliner. She looks good!

Drum Roll please !!!!!!!

My favorite look of the night was SALMA HAYEK!

I think she is beautiful! She has the best hair ever! I love the curls and the two tone color is a gorgeous  look. The makeup is very soft, it’s all about her skin and it is perfect. I probably would have added a wee bit more blush but the nude lip is sexy and poutiful!
