Marc Beauty Velvet Noir Mascara -Be a Layer Queen!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on November 19, 2016November 19, 2016Leave a Comment

Designer Marc Jacobs’ Marc Beauty has been steadily releasing one makeup gem after another. In the age of lash extensions and faux lashes, at times good old mascara can get lost in the shuffle. Nevertheless, the Marc Beauty Velvet Noir Mascara is helping to bring sexy back…in the form of a gorgeous full, natural lash line.

Marc Beauty Velvet Noir Mascara -Be a Layer Queen!

On its own the Marc Beauty Velvet Noir Mascara is a great product. However, when you layer it that is when the real magic happens! Nonetheless, why should a lady layer mascara?

Layering allows the mascara wearer to achieve a stronger look as well as durability. For instance, if you first apply a regular formula then layer waterproof mascara on top your overall look will last longer. Moreover, by layering lengthening and volumizing formulas you get thicker, longer looking lashes. Cool huh?

Layering is actually something the Marc Jacobs brand fully supports and encourages. Marc Beauty sells two great products to get the job done. Velvet Noir and O! Mega Lash.

Recently, MB explained the best way to layer the fab mascaras. The brand revealed, “Layer up on lashes. First, use O! Mega Lash for separated long lashes and then layer with Velvet Noir for added drama and epic volume.” Simple enough. Have fun in those mirrors ladies and don’t forget you can always layer formulas to get an amazing lash look naturally.

Cushnie et Ochs Two Toned Lips! Our New Makeup Goals!

Arianne September 13, 2016September 13, 2016Leave a Comment

We have got to give it up to Cushnie et Ochs and the MAC Cosmetics team one time! The two collaborated to produce a very glam look for the Cushnie et Ochs Spring 2017 runway show. Every model’s pout was blessed with a boisterous touch of color. What beautiful makeup has us all in an uproar. Feast your eyes on the Cushnie et Ochs two toned lips!

Cushnie Et Ochs Two Toned Lips! Our New Makeup Goals!

Going down couture memory lane, several seasons ago two tone fashions were all the rage. Every dress, skirt and jacket had to be multiple tints. Now it looks like the face is getting the same treatment.

The Cushnie et Ochs two toned lips incorporated bold shades of red and pink. The inspiration behind the look came from the film Scarface. Since we weren’t alive when the iconic film was released a quick Google education filled in the gaps.

Actress Michelle Pfeiffer’s character is one sassy siren! Moreover, her attitude is an alluring mix of Marilyn Monroe, Rihanna and Kate Moss rolled into one. A famous line heralded by Pfeiffer is, “Don’t call me ‘baby’. I’m not your baby!” Ugh, like totally obsessed now!

What we also liked about the two tone lip is that it looks great on a multitude of skin tones. Sometimes it seems that not every runway look translates that well on all skin colors or in “real life.” Nevertheless, we felt Cushnie et Ochs versions worked on all the girls and looked absolutely lovely.

Hair Quickie: How to Quickly Figure Out The Best Hair Color

Arianne SuggsUpdated on September 6, 2016September 5, 2016Leave a Comment

How to Quickly Figure Out The Best Hair Color? This post will dive into how to choose the right color for your skin tone. Of course, there are plenty of fun colors trending right now. For instance, Vogue Italia for their big September issue is featuring four models with blue, orange, pink and yellow hair. You may want cotton candy or fire engine red hair but will it really be the best color for you? Here are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind.

Hair Quickie: How to Quickly Figure Out The Best Hair Color

Tip #1 The best hair color is one that is flattering to your skin tone and eyes. Most likely you already know your natural eye color well. To figure out your skin tone take a glance at the inside of your forearm. This area is usually not contacted by the sun giving you a pretty accurate picture of your skin tone. Test out different tints using this color (skin tone) as your guide.

Tip #2 Just freaking wig out! Not out of stress but seriously head to a beauty supply store and test out different colored wigs. For free you will be able to see which colors look best.

Tip #3 Find your celebrity twin. Hair experts swear by this trick. Look for a celebrity who shares the same eye color and skin tone as you. Celebrities tend to change their hair color often in order to seem innovative and on trend. Therefore, if they look fabulous in certain hair hues you know you will too.

Beauty Quickie: Layering Bobbi Brown Moisturizer

Arianne SuggsUpdated on September 5, 2016September 5, 2016Leave a Comment

True or false? All skin needs in order to stay soft, supple and youthful looking is moisturizer? Okay, that is actually slightly a loaded question. Nevertheless, layering moisturizers has been picking up steam among beauty experts because doubling up may just be necessary. Bobbi Brown has answered the call with her moisturizers. Here’s how layering Bobbi Brown Moisturizer can give you amazing skin!

Beauty Quickie: Layering Bobbi Brown Moisturizer

Why do you need to layer moisturizers? One may not be good enough due to all the elements skin must face on a daily basis. Just think about it. From weather, hormones and of course aging, skin gets put through H-E double hockey sticks.

Therefore, the reasons you may choose to layer could fall into one of these categories:

Dry Skin – If you naturally have dry skin doubling up can give your skin the opportunity to retain moisture.
Dry, Arid, Windy Weather– This occurs a lot during wintertime. This type of weather literally can zap up moisture so you might want to give your skin a little extra hydration.
Mature Skin – Sadly as we age it becomes harder to keep skin hydrated this can lead to gasp wrinkles. Grandma passed a “black don’t crack” secret down to us years ago. In short, the key is moisturizing daily and well. So then, as you plus one every year you may consider tacking on the layer technique in your beauty regimen.

Layering Bobbi Brown Moisturizer

Bobbi Brown cosmetics have two moisturizing products that make the layering technique a cinch. However, remember regardless what products you choose to double the first should be a lightweight emollient and the second one a product that truly fits your skin’s needs. Lightweight first just so you do not worry about clogging your pores.

Bobbi Brown recommends using their Hydrating Moisturizer first. Next, apply the Bobbi Brown Extra Balm. This doubling up is a favorite during New York Fashion Week. So then, layer up and let your inner supermodel beauty out!
