Is this how we’re representing women now???

Here’s another question: Is this what YOU look like?

These pictures are from the new issue of Love Magazine, they are suppose to be the most beautiful women in the world and the most perfect bodies in the world. **Laughing on the inside** Get outta here. I can’t imagine how this is perfection and they all look the same. Shouldn’t we be celebrating perfection in women that actually exists? You can’t say that a supermodel, or a celebrity for that matter, has the most perfect body in the world when its their JOB to maintain a certain look. “Perfection” is relative anyway because if I say that my body and my look is perfect for me then that’s IT, that also means that its gonna be perfect for you too.

The editor of Love Magazine, Katie Brand said, “it was interesting studying them all in the same pose”…. **Hand goes up in the classroom** These pictures look like they should read, “I’D RATHER GO NAKED THAN WEAR FUR”, otherwise what then is the purpose of these images? Celebrating beauty? OK, maybe IF that’s your intention but here they’re just being depicted as perfect. Interesting? No. Beautiful? YES (I’m not a hater).  Models? YES…. but what else are they suppose to look like???

Beauty is INTERESTING and MYSTERIOUS… beauty is VARIETY and WARMTH… and beauty isn’t always PERFECT….

… but hey, maybe that’s just MY house…

So our girl for the Look of the Week, I know a lot you in the “O” know her she is the crazy funny, a catchy one liner, and superwoman Co-host to Johnny on XL106.7, Miss Jayde. I got the opportunity to do her makeup for the opening night of Mall at Millenia’s fashion show, (thanks Melanie Pace), and she was too cool. The look is smokey, sultry eyes and she can definitely pull it off. So I started with Smolder eye kohl all over the lid, mixed that with Dark Soul pigment, I love pigment for smokey eyes because it’s pure color no additives, it gives me black and not that greenish tint you sometimes get with black shadow. Blend with a bit of Carbon eye shadow and blend, blend; blend the key to perfect smokey eyes. In the crease I did a bit of Embark to warm the eye a bit I like to use a warm blending color so that the shadow doesn’t just go from dark to light. Under the brow bone I used Vapour eye shadow, with Naked pigment (my fav). Minted eye kohl on the lid, and Feline eye kohl on the inner rim it’s so black cat black, just dark umm!

On the lips I used Viva Glam II with Pretty Plush plushglass, for full lips, YES! The cheeks say Pinch Me, for a natural flush of color, and Foundation is Full Coverage. I love Full Coverage a lot of women think that it’s going to look and feel heavy but it can be sheered down to almost nothing. Manipulate the product to your liking so that you can get the best wear, it is a beautiful foundation.
Thank you Jayde, you are so nice I’m glad you loved your makeup. I’ll try to wake up early to catch you on XL106.7. Peace!
