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!

NYX Haul

You may or may not know this, but I am not a lable whore (pardon the french!) I love any product that works! I use everything from Chanel to L'Oreal I do not discriminate. My latest purchase/haul comes from no other then NYX, I love their products the eyeshadows and lipsticks/glosses are highly pigmented you get a real bang for your buck! You can purchase NYX at a number of websites as well as local beauty supplies, but I got my haul from http://www.cherryculture.com/ the Nude on Nude palette runs about $20.99 and lipsticks $4.99 each.

First I purchased the NYX Nude on Nude eye and lip palette (LOVE!!!!) and the new NYX Matte Lipsticks. I am so happy with the products I just had to add them to my blog take a look!

Everything all together
