“So I’m going to post a video speaking on why I’m pushing this so hard. It’s disgusting how people are treating each other because they want people to remain segregated. Beauty has no color.

I want to make people uncomfortable. I want people to begin talking. Moreover, I need people to stop being so caged up in their mind. Also, I need people to start loving and stop bashing people just because we want to be unified.

God made us all beautiful. Beauty has no color. This look was inspired by the comment section in the picture where I had multiple shades. We as a people need to stop this race competition. No one is better than another. We are all equal in the eyes of God. Moreover if he sees us as equal why don’t we?

This world is hurting. Furthermore, we all need to learn how to accept each other. It’s 2017 let’s get it together now and more importantly we need to start loving more as well as forgiving.

As a makeup artist and lover of all people I challenge my other makeup artist friends to recreate this look and post with the hashtag Beauty Has No Color. There is nothing wrong with appreciating beauty. There is nothing wrong with being an artist. Stop being a hater and learn to love with your whole heart.”

Beyonce Wears Perfect Little Black Dress

ArianneUpdated on March 14, 2017March 14, 2017Leave a Comment

Well alright, alright, alright! The woman that coined the phrase “flawless” is surely looking like that and more! The mommy-to-be of twins is not allowing her pregnancy change up her Sasha Fierce style. While most expectant ladies would be turning to sweats and oversized dresses, the Queen of the Hive is boldly showcasing her bump. We spotted Beyonce in the perfect little black dress and she is absolutely fabulous.

Beyonce Wears Perfect Little Black Dress

There are some fashions that should be found in every woman’s closet and one is the perfect little black dress. That is because it does not matter the season a LBD (little black dress) will always look modern and chic. It literally never goes out of style. Therefore, if you want a garment that is trendy and will outlast other trends a black dress is the way to go.

Beyonce turned up the heat with her black gown by incorporating another hot 2017 trend, cut-outs. Cut-outs are the perfect way to add a slight touch of sexiness. Moreover, Bey kept her accessories to a minimum so as not to overpower her LBD. She finished her look with a choker, ring, thigh high boot heels, matching black handbag and silver earrings.

Hair Notes: When your dress has that sauce you don’t need to overdo it. Think like Beyonce and fashion those locks into a voguish chignon. Add drama like Queen Bey by creating a deep middle part and leaving some face framing strands to flow freely. The result will be beautiful and alluring.

Pixie Haircut Styles: Janelle Monae 2017 Oscars Style

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 28, 2017February 28, 2017Leave a Comment

As the famous saying goes, “A woman who cuts her hair, is about to change her life.” The big snip can be quite the switch up as well as exhilarating. However, some ladies shy away from such an edgy hair look in fear that style options may become too limited. Nevertheless, this past Sunday, Janelle Monae proved that pixie haircut styles are not only gorgeous, but also versatile.

Pixie Haircut Styles: Janelle Monae 2017 Oscars Style

Janelle Monae just became the Queen of pixie haircut styles and we hope her reign never ends! Monae already had all eyes on her as she graced the 2017 Academy Awards red carpet. She effortlessly floated past all the flashing paperazzi lights in an exquisite gown by Elie Saab.

Janelle’s dazzling fashion was from the Autumn/Winter 2016-17 collection which included beautiful, regal statement chokers. The Elie Saab show actually named, Impressions of NY, got its inspiration from of course the city of New York as well as nature, human streets as well as industry skyscraper heights. With fashion this luxurious it requires hairstyling that is just as high-end.

Monae’s chic cut fit the bill perfectly. The wispy styling gave great texture and by strands being somewhat “back” it allowed the focus to remain on her dress. Nevertheless, that does not mean her hair didn’t get any of the spotlight. We adored her voguish headband which brought her queening vibes altogether. Moreover, it added just enough drama to her cut without being overwhelming.

Plus, Janelle Monae’s hairstyle demonstrates how easy it is to add more pizzazz to shorter lengths. Think headbands or jewel encrusted hair pins or accessories. They’re not just for 5-year-olds dolls, so then use to change up your short hairstyles in a cinch.

Literally, every one who is anyone made their way to the Roc Nation pre-Grammy Brunch for 2017. Rihanna, Justine Skye, Big Sean, P. Diddy, Remy Ma, Jesse Williams and Jhene Aiko were among the fabulous attendees. There were so many amazing photographed moments that social media erupted with several fun “caption this” postings. We will definitely fill you in all of that action in an upcoming feature.

Nevertheless, speaking of Rihanna, she looked gorgeous! RiRi certainly already has spring couture all dialed in and ready to go. We loved her vibrant ensemble which is from the Del Poza Spring 2017 Collection. Her OOTD possessed just the right amount of drama showcasing a tad bit of skin as well as long flowy design in the back.

Moreover, we also loved her fresh face makeup. Rihanna kept her makeup minimal but incorporated a nice pop of light color on her lips and eyes. The perfect way to create a youthful makeup look for day time events or lunches with the girls.
