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!

“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!

Makeup Fashion and Glamour at this Years Kentucky Derby

Monday, May 7th, 2012

This weekend had a lot going on, from Cinco De Mayo, to High school proms, the Mayweather & Cotto fight,  AND the Kentucky Derby! I’m sure everyone had something planned to do this weekend.

I lost count of  how many teenage girls I did makeup for  in honor of prom this weekend. But it was way fun fulfilling their requests of matching their makeup to their dresses. Gotta give the girls what they want right?!

Anyway, Sunday was the 138th annual  Kentucky Derby, and the celebs were out! I would imagine that  Kentucky Derby is to Kentucky what Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is to NYC! High brow, high fashion, and more Christian Louboutin’s than the law will allow.

Here are some of the incredible hats!

   

The ladies and gents  really looked  elegant and dapper. I love to see women dressed up, it’s Sunday Best meets Royal Class!

    

Cyndi Lauper looks wonderful! I love this dress, I like to see women wear  prints. Her makeup looks stunning! She’s working a hot orange lipstick with winged eyeliner.

Starr looks beautiful in Blue! Her hat has a lot going on, but hey when your at the Kentucky Derby it’s all about making your statement RIGHT?!

 

Loves, which hat do you think you could pull off?  xo

LM and Tween Girl Style Magazine

Monday, April 30th, 2012

Early this month LM had the great opportunity to do makeup and hair for the new and cool glossie
Tween Girl Style Magazine. Myself and makeup artist Whitney Parker had a fun time on set with our beautiful teen models who were fun and excited to be apart of the magazines Bright and Colorful Fashion Issue. Stylist Tina Jackson dressed the girls in the boldest and most fun colors of the season, and amazing photographer Nicole Mitchum photographed the girls in the best outdoor light. Shot in Lakeland, Florida at the Silver Moon Drive-in theater the shoot was modern girl  fun with a old an old school atmosphere.  It was really hot the day of the shoot so with  the makeup we focused on giving the models beautiful smooth skin and soft and girlie hairstyles.
Check out the behind the scenes video and to see how our fun work came to life!
