Philipp Plein Fall/Winter 2019 Makeup -Backstage Beauty Files

Arianne February 15, 2019February 15, 2019

Once again designer Philipp Plein delivered and it wasn’t just the fashion that we noted. During the Philipp Plein Fall/Winter 2019 show models strutted in designer fare fit for a rodeo king and queen. However, this season the makeup vibe accompanying the couture; hit more on the low key, fierce beauty register.

Philipp Plein Fall/Winter 2019 Makeup -Backstage Beauty Files

Instead of full Rockstar face, the models displayed edge with a nice helping and dose of deep black eyeliner. Backstage the girls all received what is infamously known as the “cat-eye.” A liner classic that helps to pull the eye look outward, giving the wearer a cool thinner, sexy eye appearance.

Now while the eye was certainly dramatic; for the most part the rest of the model’s faces were kept ‘au natural.” Thus, only making the cat-eye stand out more. We think this is the perfect balance and harmony of a chic makeup style.

Therefore, for once (Lol); this beauty look is one that translates well IRL. Can worn with day and night looks. Also, works whether you are rocking with a causal or more formal ensemble.

Lastly, in terms of technique, we spied that lipstick was being applied with brushes and dabbed with fingers. Why is that significant? Well, using a brush when applying lipstick can help the finish to last and stay put longer. Additionally, by dabbing lip color on with your finger you have more control over the level of coverage you want.

Ask and Tell: Lauren London Wearing Nichole Lynel Dress

Arianne February 15, 2019February 15, 2019

The Item: Actress Lauren London Wearing Nichole Lynel sparkling fringe dress. The screen siren was spotted in her eye-popping look while in attendance for an after Grammy party.

You Asked: 1966 please help! I have been commenting on the Nichole Lynel page and no one is answering. I am trying to get some details regarding Lauren London’s dress. Can we buy it or not?

Ask and Tell: Lauren London Wearing Nichole Lynel Dress

The Verdict: Sorry guys, but the news on this look is currently a little stylishly sketch. While there is plenty of fashion evidence that this design does in fact exist. Now being spotted on the gorgeous Lauren London; however, to be honest we have not seen this head-turning design since the NL’s fab runway show.

We scoured the brand’s site and all of our detective work turned up zilch. Therefore, our conclusion is that Nichole has the look ready to go; it’s just not currently “in production.”

Nevertheless, now that much interest has been churned up thanks to London; perhaps NL will go ahead and make the look available for purchase. We believe it would sell extremely well thanks to its dazzling one-shoulder and fringe detailing. The perfect gown for a voguish night on the town. Nonetheless, as of now we will have to wait to see if this dress becomes apart of the official Nichole Lynel lineup.

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

Just take a page from all the famous models; yes, they get paid to look amazing; however, just following their lead can help you look magazine/runway worthy too.

Models such as Winnie Harlow have hit up skincare hotspots like SOMA in order to refresh their skin with LED Light Therapy. How can such a session help your face? SOMA SPA reveals,

“LED Light Therapy stimulates the skin tissue to regenerate with new skin cells. Light therapy also increases blood circulation, collagen production and general healing of the skin.

IMAN Covers InStyle March 2019 Issue -Fashion’s Unrivaled Empress

Arianne February 6, 2019February 6, 2019

She’s style, she is grace, she’s a cover girl oh hey! Supermodel IMAN Covers InStyle March 2019 edition and she is looking as fabulous as ever. In the article, InStyle discusses her iconic career and more!

IMAN Covers InStyle March 2019 Issue -Fashion’s Unrivaled Empress

How did IMAN come to have such an amazing career in the tough and gruff modeling and fashion industries? Well, the model is discussing just that to InStyle. Regarding the piece and IMAN’s gorgeous visuals, the magazine says,

“Supreme. For our second March subscriber cover, IMAN wore this t-shirt as an homage to her stature as an unrivaled deity of the modeling world; a trailblazing cosmetics entrepreneur; and a long-standing advocate for women. (Although it was her idea for it to be wet!).

Her career has spanned four decades. And although she retired from the runways in 1989; she continues to outpace some of her youngest peers both in relevancy and ad pages. Most recently doing campaigns for Valentino and Balmain.

‘My plan is just loose. It’s kind of weird, because I’ve worked all my life, from when I was 14 years old… I’ve stumbled into things; or things found me. So now I’m at a stage where i’ll just see what happens.’

Read more of Eric Wilson’s profile of the supermodel at [our website online].”

IMAN Covers InStyle March 2019 Issue

So really, how did the wet tee shirt thing come about? It’s such a sexy move and InStyle’s Fashion News Director, Eric Wilson had the full scoop! Wilson reveals,

“About that time I had to ask IMAN why she decided to pose in a wet T-shirt for the cover of InStyle. ‘I suggested it,’ she told me. ‘I’m 63 — why would I have a Supreme T-shirt? It’s just a boring T-shirt. It’s too young and too hip.

So (on the set) I said, jokingly, ‘Why don’t we get it wet?’ And as I said it, everybody said, ‘Yeah!’ I was like, “F&%&, now I have to deliver.'”

Sounds juicy. Also, Eric says there is more to the story. So get the details on that as well as the rest of interview at www.instyle.com/celebrity/iman-march-feature.
