Marc Jacobs Beauty At Lash'd Lengthening & Curling Mascara

 

Sing it with us now… “AT LASH’D! While we hope we made Etta James proud with our little rendition; we are even more proud of what is coming out of the beauty pipelines over at Marc Jacobs! The Marc Jacobs Beauty At Lash’d Lengthening & Curling Mascara is being heralded as the holy grail of mascara; that lengthens, defines and curls all lashes.

Nevertheless, in the world of mascara, those things are great; but more is needed. Just about every lash product on the market can transform your lashes somewhat. Therefore, what is designer Marc Jacobs bringing to the table to make his mascara stand apart?

 

 

One word: nourishment. Huh? Yes, it’s true, like the hair coming from your scalp, your lashes need “haircare” as well. Marc Jacobs Beauty is filling this need with their latest formulation. A formula that incorporates a nice dose of lash conditioners.

 

 

 

What does this all mean? It means with this mascara your lashes will be treated to conditioning that will make your lashes “healthier.” While most focus on just the traditional: length or volume. MJB takes things one step further with a formula that will not only instantly help them look great; but lead them to truly being better.

Beauty Quickie: Water Skin Benefits -Top 10 Reasons to Chug

Water Skin Benefits

It’s just simple math. Our bodies are made up of 60 percent water, so if you don’t drink enough H20 your bodily systems will not function properly. Therefore, to help motivate you to let’s talk water skin benefits. Here’s 10 reasons to go bottoms up in order to give yourself picture perfect skin!

Beauty Quickie: Water Skin Benefits -Top 10 Reasons to Chug

Water Skin Benefits

  1. Improves Skin “Turgor”-Meaning being properly hydrated helps to plump the skin (fuller looks more youthful) as well as decrease the appearance of fine lines.
  2. Banish Raccoon Eyes– Dealing with dark circles? Many of us are, however drinking plenty of water can help you reduce the look and appearance of dark circles.
  3. A Natural Highlighter– Thanks to Fenty Beauty we all want to glow like a Killawatt. Moreover, drinking water can encourage your skin to develop a beautiful natural glow. Take that cosmetics!
  4. Straight Flush-Drink up because water also has the ability to flush your system of harmful toxins. Such cleansing enables your skin to not only be clean; but helps to push out bacteria and reduce the risk of developing acne.
  5. Throw It Round In a Circle– Additionally, water is important to circulation. If everything is flowing right then nutrients and other goodies can easily travel all over in order to give your skin from your scalp to your toes what they need to stay healthy.
  6. Softer Than a Baby-If skin is dehydrated it can become chapped, dry and in some cases “crack.” Avoid this painful result by drinking up so that you have smooth skin instead.
  7. Don’t Let It Snow-Having a dandruff, dry scalp episode? An itchy, flaky scalp is usually caused by a dry one. Help your scalp stay well moisturized by drinking plenty of quality H20; because a healthy scalp can also lead to more hair growth.
  8. Crystal Clear-Water can also clear up your skin, which is why your daily water intake is important. If you do not consume ample water, bodily wastes and toxins keep on accumulating in the body and can become trapped under your skin. GROSS! Making matters worse, keep in mind that your skin is in fact the largest organ of your body. Therefore, help the biggest organ out by staying hydrated so it can remove such waste. Your body will reward you with clearer looking skin.

Beauty Quickie: Water Skin Benefits -Top 10 Reasons to Chug (Continued)

Water Skin Benefits

9. That’s Tight-Dry skin has less resilience and lacks the ability to spring back into shape. So then, besides giving your skin a more youthful appearance, water can additionally aid in keeping skin tight and toned as well.

10. Beat the Clock-As we get older our bodies have a harder time retaining moisture. Lack of hydration can result in a duller complexion. Therefore, right now get into the habit of drinking a sufficient amount of water. Doing so, will help you maintain a radiant look even as the years tick by.

As one can see there are many water skin benefits to enjoy. However, drinking water alone is not the only thing you should be doing to serve up some major face. Check out our Beauty Section (www.https//1966mag.com/beauty) for even more awesome skincare and beauty tips!

**BEAUTY WARNING** Keep an eye out for our next Beauty Quickie, we’ll be sharing how much water you should be drinking each day. The answer may shock you…

Black Beauty Makeup Products: MAC Lipglass Steel Kiss -Get a Nude Lip!

MAC Lipglass Steel Kiss

Trying to find a nude? As any lady of color knows that sometimes it can be quite the treasure hunt. However, thanks to the wild success of Fenty Beauty; many brands are actively developing products that fit darker skin tones (alright, alright, alright LOL). In fact, MAC Cosmetics is selling a few nude lip gloss options that will help your pout bare it all! Let’s get into the MAC Lipglass Steel Kiss.

Black Beauty Makeup Products: MAC Lipglass Steel Kiss -Get a Nude Lip

Swatches are one thing, but we prefer to actually see a lip product on well… you know, the lips! For a little while, we took note of MAC’s nude tone lipglass products being used on black women. Then, one day instead of demonstrating their nudes on a light to medium skin tone model; they utilized a model with a gorgeous deep, ebony skin hue. Our analysis? MAC’s nude lipglass products have great range on women of color from light to deep.

We pried a little further and find that many professional MUAs (makeup artists) actually suggest two of MAC Cosmetics lipglass tones. MAC Lipglass in Steel Kiss as well as Very Go Lightly. Furthermore, the photo at the outset of this article shows a makeup look created on a model using a mixture of both Steel Kiss and Very Go Lightly.

Black Beauty Makeup Products: MAC Lipglass Steel Kiss

MAC Lipglass Steel Kiss

MAC Cosmetics promises that their lipglass with help you design exactly the nude glossy look you are after. That is because lipglass “can create a high gloss, glass like finish or a subtle sheen. [Plus it is] designed to be worn on its own, over lip pencil or lipstick. It’s the perfect product for creating shine that lasts.”

Another awesome benefit of the lipglass product is that it can help make your lips healthier. This lip gloss is formulated with jojoba oil that will not only make lips softer; but, help improve the overall condition of the lips. Therefore, want to give this MAC Cosmetics beauty item a go? Get it online at the MAC store for $17.

Melanin Magic: Meet Shudu Gram -The World’s First Digital Supermodel

Shudu Gram

She’s one of the hardest working models in the industry… and she’s not even real! Meet Shudu Gram, a CGI wonder that is being featured on magazine covers and shouted out by some of biggest brands in the world. With a career that any mere human lover of fashion would want and thousands of fans; it looks as though Shudu’s career is poised to only rise.

Melanin Magic: Meet Shudu Gram -The World’s First Digital Supermodel

Who is she? That is the question that started it all.  Shudu Gram’s creator posed it after the CGI supermodel first started making waves. Since her introduction into the fashion world, one puzzling question seemed to develop and stay on the tip of everyone’s tongue. Is this beautiful woman even real?

Shudu Gram

Gorgeous, extremely. A killer fashion model, no doubt. An actual human being, major doubt.

As much as the world wanted to believe Shudu Gram’s photography was real; her beauty just seemed a little manufactured. However, that’s when the magic occurred. No one cares!

Like us, literally every fan didn’t care if she is in fact fake. In the end, her work or the work of her creator is just simply too exquisite to ignore. Human or CGI people respect the images as stunning art additions for the world to behold.

Therefore, who is the genius behind Shudu Gram? Obviously, someone not only talented, but should win an award for being able to keep such a huge secret. Shudu is the creation of photographer, Cameron-James Wilson. Wilson is no stranger to the fashion industry; having worked with everyone from Victoria’s Secret model Devon Windsor to Gigi Hadid.

Shudu Gram -The World’s First Digital Supermodel

Shudu Gram

From the beginning, we have been huge fans of Wilson’s artistry with his CGI supermodel. We have featured her numerous times and still can not get enough. Even though some may take offense to the likeness of a black model’s features being used; we think Cameron-James’ work is lovely and tastefully done.

In a world that normally tries to tear down black girls and women. Saying we are unattractive and unable to sell or push merchandise with our beauty. It is nice to see someone create imagery that celebrates our Melanin Magic and brings our beauty to the fore. Proving once again our beauty is striking, sought after and of course, sellable.

Shudu Gram’s gorgeous self has been utilized on the cover of ULIHOUMISM magazine as well as a muse for Soul Sky brand. A clothing label originally from Africa. Furthermore, recently even Fenty Beauty has shown off Shudu’s fabulousness. The cosmetics giant is the first makeup brand to use Shudu’s image to market a beauty product. Thus, showing Rihanna is always ahead of the game and competition; even when it comes to using CGI models. Shudu can be seen rocking Rihanna’s MATTEMOISELLE in “SAWC.”

Therefore, well done Cameron-James Wilson! Moreover, congratulations on designing the world’s first CGI supermodel.
