Full Court Beauty tips

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012

Two Words ALL STAR! I  am so excited All Star weekend one of the biggest weekends is sports coming to Orlando. I love basketball about just as much as I love makeup so I put together a few of my fav NBA wives and girlfriends to show some beautiful makeup looks for the around the way girl to rock this NBA All Star weekend .

 

 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 !

Makeup Bag Makeover!

Wednesday, December 28th, 2011

Scenario:

Your reaching into your super cute handbag that you got as a  Christmas present looking  for your itty bitty dirty makeup bag!  Yes I said it “dirty” .You won’t believe how many times a chick will reach into her banging Gucci, Louis Vuitton,  Chanel  (real or fake) and pull out this horrible and disgusting looking makeup bag and I’m like really you can’t buy a 10 dollar makeup bag and throw that mess in the trash. It’ss been dropped 10 times, so powder is all over it and you’ve got nerve enough to say I’ve had this thing forever, YES, I can tell you need to buy a new one and quit squishing up your powder brush inside of it, talking about it doesn’t “work” anymore I bet, it  looks like it’s been caught in the zipper 5,000 times. Ladies you got to do better when it comes to taking care of your makeup and accessories. These things say a lot about you and and believe me people do look when they see you at a club or restaurant and please don’t pull that dirty thing out at the table! Check please! Sorry I’m ranting so hard but I wouldn’t speak on it if I wasn’t seeing it, so go to Sally’s beauty supply  or Betsey Johnson they have some really cute and affordable makeup bags  preferably in a dark color to camouflage the nastiness and if you don’t want to spend the cash  you can always toss it in the washing machine!

Ashanti’s New Makeup look

Monday, December 26th, 2011

I am absolutely in LOVE with Ashanti’s new look for her new single ” The woman you Love”! Her makeup  is Uber-Sexy and trendsetting! She’s giving me love with a killing  Brow arch! (I love a sharp brow) and the eye makeup is beyond on point! The look is futuristic and edgey. Smokey, winged out cat eyeliner with major liquid liner  is sexy with clean lines, no room for error with this look.

If her new album is anything like  this new makeup look, (#onpoint) I will  definitely be getting on the Ashanti bandwagon. I’ve always been a big Ashanti fan, so I’m excited to see and hear what’s new from her.

Let me know your favorite Ashanti looks

Master of the Mix-Jenny Costa

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

This Master of the Mix event  had me all over the place  this past  weekend as I told you  previously I did Jenny Costa’s makeup the beautiful Mixolgist from season 2 of the show! Jenny had a  a full day of appearances and the Master of the Mix event at night so she had to be on point! She was very happy and satisfied  with the makeup and hair looks I did on her check out THE LOOK!


You guys know I’m all about color so I did purple and navy blue  eyeshadow on the eyes brings out Jenny’s hazel eye color. Skin is perfected with liquid matte foundation to keep her skin flawless and shine free while she parties hard. Lips are gorgeously nude with the LM lip color in ROSE and ESTHER mixed together!  Blush is a subtle shimmery pink perfect for clubbing, when the strobe lights hit her skin she looks like a glamazon!

 

The 2nd look on Jenny was more subtle, this  makeup was for day time events. I still brought drama to Jenny’s eyes with metallic gold and pink shadow with dramatic black eyeliner which she specifically requested . Lashes are long lips are  nude, I chose LM lipstick in LIP for this beautiful makeup look.
