The Oscars - Trends and Fashion

February 28, 2013

The Oscars There was a lot of talent on the red carpet during this years Oscars! We were surprised by the amount of "worthy" movies this year,  which is not always the case, season to season. A movie to see if you haven't already is Silver Linings Play Book. This movie has something for everyone, please, do not rule this as a chick flick because it is far more than that! We think Jennifer Lawrence looked beautiful, we congratulate her on her 2013 award and we commend her on her make up and over all look! She is beautiful, by nature, and her rose tone shades looked great. We have been seeing this "romantic" look beginning to trickle into this Springs trends. The use of light colors brings out the natural beauty in fabrics and on your face! In this case, Jennifer wore very natural looking make up, for an understated, yet angelic appearance. We love the asymmetric lines of Gwyneth's one shoulder draped dress. This classic and chic look never goes out of style, she owned this dress! White can sometimes be a tricky color to wear, because often it is see through, but obviously this leading lady has the body and the curves to make any outfit look stunning. Mila's dress was tapered to perfection. We love those dresses you can put on, and they are instantly flattering. If you notice how her dress is folded across  her body, it slims her already TINY waist line and brings your eyes across her dress from head to toe. This year we have seen a lot of one shouldered dresses. We know that wearing a dress that reveals a lot of skin means you have to take care of your skin. We offer a great Lipo Conquer Toning cream by Dermelect, to help tone your skin in problem areas, this cream also helps with sag in your under arms, love handles and thighs. You can replicate this simple and clean look through understanding your skin tone. Colors like peach, have  tendency of looking good on everyone, when applied correctly. Duwop offers just that, a perfect and even textured blush, for all day wear!

If you lean more towards the bold colors, like Mila, consider a hot and sexy red lip by Duwop | Click Here!

Regardless of the trends, it's important to let your natural beauty shine through, never hide it! Embrace wearing the clothes you love, and it's never too late to change your make up style, if you don't like what you are currently doing. We know that change is difficult, but you live once, it's time to experiment and try to new things!

Oscars 2012 Best Dressed on the Red Carpet

February 29, 2012

Though I'm a little bitter that The Artist stole so many awards at the Oscars, I was absolutely thrilled with what the red carpet had to offer.  Below are some of our favorites for "best dressed," including a couple of products we thought might help you achieve a similar look! Oscars Best Dressed 2012 Jessica Chastain: Twitter lit up with "oohs" and "ahs" when Jessica Chastain graced the red carpet. Donning a stunning black Alexander McQueen gown detailed with gold embroidery, Jessica's look was dazzling, elegant and classic. She accented her bold colors with simple makeup and stunning eyes, using thick black eyeliner. We suggest Tigi's Precision Black Eye Liner Pin to achieve a similar look. Oscars 2012 Red Carpet Michelle Williams: Michelle Williams was stunning in a coral-y red tiered Louis Vuitton. With creative accents, beautiful lines and attention-grabbing details, Williams was an instant favorite. Her crimson gown was accented by cool pink makeup. Her rosy lips can be achieved with a lipstick like Tigi's Decadent Lipstick in Finesse. Oscars 2012 Red Carpet Stacy Keibler: Even more than her handsome date, Stacy Keibler drew attention for her gorgeous gold frock. Oscar-like in its style, her shimmering gold Marchesa gown was classic, sexy and perfect for her form. Her side-swept hair accented the neckline beautifully, especially with its creative twist at the back of her neck. Set a style like Stacy's with a hairspray likeKenra's Design Spray for hold, flexibility and styling.

Product Review: Miracle Skin Transformer

January 10, 2012

Miracle Skin Transformer Skin Enhancer I'm always a little skeptical when a product calls itself a "miracle."  Makeup is makeup, is it not? However, I was pleasantly surprised when I tried Miracle Skin Transformer for the first time.  I'm only in my twenties; I have smile lines and some minor acne scars left over from high school, but I am not covered in wrinkles or age spots.  Because of this, I was *shocked* to find that this foundation made such a drastic difference when applied to my skin.  For the first time testing new foundation, I actually felt like I looked prettier. The formula applied extremely comfortably.  Moisture-rich and velvety smooth, Miracle Skin Transformer went on beautifully.  The makeup evened-out color, covered blemishes flawlessly and did an incredible job of reducing the appearance of pores.  It was awesome. Seriously. The description of the "magic" ingredient, M3 Complex, provided by its manufacturer boasts the following benefits (with which I completely agree!):
  • Transform skin tone and provide an instant matifying effect
  • Neutralize free radicals
  • Reduce redness, calm and soothe skin
  • Minimize pigment inconsistencies and discolorations
  • Refine pores’ texture while softening and soothing fine lines
Miracle Skin Transformer can be purchased here for $48 and is available in the following hues: Miracle Skin Transformer SPF 20 Skin Enhancer

Kate Winselt's Red Hot Emmy's Look

September 20, 2011

We all know Kate Winslet.  She touched all of our hearts in Titanic whens she told Jack that she'd never let go, and made us scratch our heads in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. We know Kate as the glamorous movie star that she is. Now Ms. Winslet can add television Emmy winner to her resume. Playing the lead and title role in HBO's mini-series Mildred Pearce, Kate portrayed her character's many life battles with grace and believability. So what did Kate wear to receive her first Emmy Award? Kate Full Lenght in Red Gown A fabulous red gown, diamond earrings and bracelet and some fierce hair and make-up. Kate always looks classy on the red carpet, but she definitely upped the ante this year. There were a lot of red dresses on the red carpet this weekend, but Kate's smokey eyes and nude lips made her stand out. So how did Kate get her make-up so perfect? Well, we're not her make-up artist so we don't know exactly, but here's how YOU can get a look just like hers for your next night out. Start out with your favorite foundation all over, even on your lids. For the eyes: products to get Kate Winslet's Look Use the Tigi High Density Eye Shadow Quad in Love Affair using the lightest color as a highlighter under your brow. The shimmer brown color should go on your lid up to your crease.  Don't forget to apply this color along your lower lashes too! Then take the darkest brown and gently blend that in a "V" shape at the outer corner of your eye. Blend the colors until you have your desired look adding in some of the highlighter if needed. Now, use Tigi Perfect Eyeliner in brown and line both your top and bottom lash lines. Smudge this a little to increase the smokey feel. Finally, apply some Blinc Mascara in Black to both your top and lower lashes. If you're going for a more subtle look just use you favorite eye lash curler and you're done.  If you're going for a little more drama, put on some Ardell Fashion Lashes for a "wow" effect. For your lips and face: Dab on some DuWop Blushbooster in Watermelon. Then line your lips using Tigi Perfect Lip liner in Nude. Finally, apply Tigi Decadent Lipstick in either Faith or Peace depending on your skin tone.  Make sure to blot your lipstick and re-apply as needed! *Be paparazzi ready by putting a little vaseline on your teeth before applying your lipstick. This will prevent the awful fashion faux pas of lipstick on the teeth and will also make your smile that much brighter*

Three MakeUp Trends for Fall 2011

September 06, 2011

A new season, a new look!  Here in the Midwest we had our first week of Fall weather.  Along with our sweaters and boots, we pulled out some new looks for the season.  Here are some looks we're seeing on the runways! MakeUp Trends Fall 2011 Smoky Eye Colorful Smoky eyes get revamped for Fall 2011! Choose burnt oranges, deep blues, turquoise hues and plums for an unexpected splash of color. Apply above and below eyes for a dramatic and beautiful look! We suggest Tigi High Density Eyeshadow Singles for beautiful and high quality shades. MakeUp Trend Fresh Face 2011 Tigi Mineral Tint While pretty pink blushes were the craze over the summer, Fall is all about a clear, fresh, dewy face.  Choose a light foundation, powder and more importantly, a fresh-looking mineral tint.  These tints bring out your skin's natural glow while covering minor imperfections. We suggest Tigi's Mineral Glow in Natural Glow. MakeUp Trends Fall 2011 Thick Brows Switch up your look with thick, bold eyebrows.  Use a brow defining pencil for additional shaping, but fill and expand using a brow sculpting kit.  We suggest the Tigi Brow Sculpting Duo.  Choose either Brunette or Blonde colors of wax and powder to shape and thicken to your heart's content!
