2017 Beauty Trend: Orange Color Makeup Looks

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 5, 2017May 5, 2017Leave a Comment

Orange color makeup … it’s back! A few years ago you could barely find one runway show that didn’t possess tangerine vibes. The tint got super hot fast and soon it was heralded as the new rouge. As a result, cosmetics companies rushed to produce orange makeup to fill the trend’s new demand. One particular brand even created an universally pleasing blush with orange tones that got a mention in a Drake song.

Nevertheless, suddenly the orange color trend disappeared completely from the fashion as well as beauty scene. Things went back to more “usual” and less boisterous shades. However, now it looks like orange is becoming a big beauty star once again.

2017 Beauty Trend: Orange Color Makeup Looks

Where have we recently spotted this trend? At the 2017 Met Gala singer Zendaya stunned with orange tinted lips. Furthermore, Blackish beauty, Yara Shahidi attended the Chanel Cruise 2018 fashion show in an orange suit with an orange eye makeup look. Both ladies looked fabulous and proved this shade works on a wide range of skin tones.

Nonetheless, it’s not just celebrities who are getting in on the resurgence of the orange color. For instance, makeup powerhouse Lancome has released their very own orange matte lip shade. Orange Magic, as Lancome has named it can be found apart of the Lancome Matte Shaker Liquid Lipstick collection. The beauty brand wants its consumers to “ban the boring” and utilize more festive tints.

As the orange color trend continues to build momentum Lancome could certainly be on to something. So then, are you bold enough to try this vibrant color this season?

Late Night Beauty Call: Bianka Manderson The Gutsy Makeup Artist

Bianka has caught our attention several times on the Gram and trust us we are not the only ones. Manderson’s presence on Insta has grown to 40K followers and shows no signs of slowing anytime soon. One aspect of Bianka Manderson’s beauty repertoire that we love is her use of color. She creates stunning eye makeup looks that are as vivacious as her fun personality.

Nevertheless, she doesn’t limit herself to bold shades on just her eyes. She also utilizes vivid shades on her lips. For instance, we about died when she recently rocked a cobalt blue lip color.

The blue lipstick is made by mega beauty brand, Smash Box Cosmetics. The lip shade is called “Iced Out” and is apart of the brand’s Be Legendary Liquid Lip Collection. Your welcome.

Bianka Manderson – Embracing Flaws

Another reason we love this beautiful girl is for her transparency. In world full of filters and photoshop, Manderson is willing to inspire others by showing her “real” self. She recently, performed a tutorial demonstrating how to cover acne.

In the before and after she still was gorgeous. However, it is nice to see a brave face helping other girls love themselves while teaching cool makeup tricks and tips.

Best Foundations For Oily Skin -Scratch That, Make ANY Foundation Work

Arianne April 12, 2017April 12, 2017Leave a Comment

They say oil in the skin is the key to preventing some effects of aging, but must it look so bad in photos?! Oily girls know a struggle that many others simply shrug at. Furthermore, if your forehead or T-Zone has ever left you feeling like its reciting Rihanna’s Diamonds, take heart. When it comes to the best foundations for oily skin you no longer need to be preoccupied with finding that one magic brand. There is a simple application trick that you can use so that you don’t “shine bright.”

Best Foundations For Oily Skin -Scratch That, Make ANY Foundation Work

There are a several words that can instantly send chills down the spine of an oily skin gal. Words such as liquid and cream foundation. However, cream foundations do not need to be feared by any high producing T-Zone. You can apply one in a way that will allow you to get the coverage you need WITHOUT all the additional oil.

The reason MUAs (makeup artists) love creams is because of their long-lasting durability. Many creams outlast more common liquids and powder versions. Therefore, here is the pro trick to applying cream foundation if you possess oily skin.

Instead of your fingers apply the cream foundation with a damp sponge.
Most foundations contain oil in order to give its coverage more durability.
The damp sponge will pick up the foundation’s pigment or tint, but not the foundation’s oil.
This means you will get awesome coverage without glistening brighter than the sun.

Makeup Counter- How to Survive the Germiest Cosmetics…and Customers

Arianne April 11, 2017April 11, 2017Leave a Comment

You don’t have to give the makeup counter at the mall the whole it’s not you, it’s me routine. The truth is out there, germs are all over the place. Yes, it’s gross to think about, but if you love your face you will take heed so that you can continue to enjoy your shopping experience.

Makeup Counter- How to Survive the Germiest Cosmetics…and Customers

Why are things so germy in the first place? Great question and it should be noted that makeup artists working at these establishments do clean. The issue begins with consumers. Not everyone uses the provided utensils to sample products and simply some are the type that do not cleanse their hands after using the restroom. All of this adds up to the spread of bacteria.

So then, what product should you definitely be watching out for? The beauty product most susceptible to contamination at the makeup counter is lip gloss. Whatever you do never apply a tester to your lips. Once a product has been utilized it is contaminated. How?

A product does not require direct contact with a person in order to be vulnerable to bacteria. That is why after a product has been used by one person, even if the following customers sample it with separate wands they could still possibly be exposed to bacteria. Ewwwww.

Makeup Counter- How to Survive

Now this article is not written to scare you away from purchasing or sampling products at the mall for the rest of your life. The fact is the makeup counter is very useful when it comes to testing. Various products can be quite expensive so its great to take them for a test drive so to speak before breaking out the credit card.

Moreover, let’s face it, makeup products are also not an one product fits all. What looked amazing on the model in the ad who seemed to resemble our skin tone, may not look so fantastic on us. Therefore, it is best to see a new product up close and personal.

To protect yourself from germs always use the tools provided for sanitation. The wands, swabs and sprays are not there for decoration, use them. Also, test products on your hands and forearms. Many counter professionals recommend placing product on your fingertips and holding them up to your face. Furthermore, consider shopping in the morning. When a store is first opened that is when everything is the most clean and has been sterilized for the next business day. Going early is a great way to beat crowds and that day’s next round of introduced germs.
