Dresses to Impress

I have always been a sucker for a beautiful dress and this year the ladies at the Golden Globes went hard!  The dresses were just beautiful and so many to choose from but the four here caught my eye. Bright reds and blue's ruled the night but you could never go wrong nudes!

Oldies But Goodies....

A few months ago I had a makeup bendge.....  I went HAM! I had a Makeupgasam (as my girl Jetta would say) when I came across; NARS Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliners, my beau, Christian Dior 5 palette shadow compacts and last but not least my FAV... Bioderma makeup remover.  I just could not past with out buying them.

 They were very rich, vibrant and most importantly long-lasting.  The liners will run you $23.00ea.

left; Rue Bonaparte, Via Appia,Rue Saint-Honore, and Vie Veneto.  Did I mention they are retractable and have such a cute little sharpener on the end of the pencil.


 Dior shadows are just to die for pricing them at $58.00ea color palette #609 and #809

Bioderma Crealine H2o Ultra-mild non-rense Face and Eye Cleanser $25.46
This stuff removes anything!  I love it on shoots and just for myself!

Steffie Christiaens Spring 2012 Makeup Look at Paris Fashion Week



I was on Fashion TV website (www.fashiontv.com) and saw this beautiful makeup from Steffie Christianens Spring 2012 for Paris Fashion week.  This look was created by Makeup Artist Violate the skin was pale and the eye had a beautiful fog of Gray shadow paired with a very vibrant Purple lip it was breath taking!  Of course I had to recreate this look with my own spin!  Instead of purple I used blue on the lips and on the eyes I did a soft white shimmer powder with mascara and no blush was used light contouring was done as well.  Take a look and tell me what you think!
First look is from Steffie Christiaens fashion show


This is my spin on this look


I would like to thank my beautiful model Jordan Lillian she was such a pleasure to work with!

Licorice Lips are in This season!

A question was asked by Fashionasartpro asking: 

"Question: How do I rock a deep purple lip for fall? I'm so feeling lady-like grunge purple almost black but am a professional woman who is creative. Can you post some examples?"

To Fashionasartpro I did this especially for you to show how a deep lip can translate sexy and alluring without the grunge effect!  This is my interputation of Shalonda A. licorice lips!
