Bold Red Lipstick for Valentines Day

Friday, February 15th, 2013

Peep these fun an fabulous Bold RED lipsticks that are great for a Valentines night out. I missed out on St. Valentines Day but I will be rocking my lipstick this weekend for a night out with my girls!

I love the look on Taylor Swift although she isn’t my fav  country singer she does wear a  bold red lip well and that bang is LIFE ! (she looks great) I also really like the lip on Zoe Saldana. Women of color are often afraid of a red lip but here the color is more of a burnt red which makes it less bright and more deep which compliments a mocha skin tone perfectly.

Women of all skin tones  can wear a  hot red lipstick, the key is finding  the RIGHT shade for you. So now  with all the LOVE of Valentines Day in the air,  go for it be free and wear the perfect shade that’s best for you!

Happy Valentines Day Loves xx

Trend: Lighter Brows

Monday, December 12th, 2011

The lighter brow trend

I talk about brows a lot, because they are my favorite feature on the face! Brows frame the face, they give an instant eye lift when tweezed correctly, and with the newest trend of coloring them in lighter, it actually makes you look younger!

 

In order to get this look first start with proper tweezing or threading…

Then lighten the brows with Jolen Hair bleach or what I do is lighten them with Beguile Brow set form MAC

Then  use a eyeshadow (close to your hair color) along with an angled brush  close to your hair color and fill in.

Brows, beautiful, and DONE!

Makeup and Your Face

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

Makeup is  universal, everyone knows what it is, but when it comes to  how makeup is worn it is all about wearing what suits your features best. Not everyone can wear the same thing the same way, example smokey eyes. Everyone does not  have the same shape and texture of eye, so a smokey eye has to be done in a way that suits that persons eye. This isn’t to say that it can not be worn but it just has to  to be done in a way that suits your features. When looking at celebrities in magazines or even your friends  it is important to take a realistic evaluation of one’s self and know that you  don’t have the exact same features as say Keri Hilson or Rhianna so certain products won’t look the same on you as they look on them. Now I can achieve a look that suits you with  the same or similar products and techniques but to think you will look exactly like the celebrity is not going to happen.  I know that makeup has the power to transform and  it can, but allow it to transform and enhance you and not you trying to be look like someone else.
