White Eyeliner Summer Beauty Trend 2014

White Eyeliner Summer Beauty Trend 2014

We know this is going to be tough, but we are going to ask anyway…please put down the black eyeliner. Whew, okay that wasn’t as bad as we thought! Of course, you can use whatever color eyeliner you fancy, but this season white is the new black.

This hue will be able to make your eyes pop for all your onlookers. We have seen this look on the runway and on celebrities such as Eva from ANTM. We love this makeup trend and feel that it gives off a nice retro yet modern vibe. So then, if you are looking to update your look just a little it is as simple as a switch in color.

Esalon-Revolutionizing the Home Hair Color Market, One Woman at a Time

eSalon-made-for-you-bottles

Not since the “Miss Clairol” home hair color kit debuted in 1956, has a company revolutionized the industry like startup eSalon.com – by delivering custom, salon color to a client’s door, for less than they would tip a colorist!

Other brands can use all the adjectives in the world to describe their mass-produced, boxed color. They’re still mass produced. Each bottle of eSalon pigment, unlike pre-mixed box brands, is individually blended for clients based on their personal hair profile. Clients are asked about gray percentage, skin tone, eye color, color history, and more, to create the most flattering shade.

eSalon’s color crew of experts analyse clients’ details and create custom formulations from an unlimited  number of color optionseSalon Accessories—which clients are guaranteed to love. Their quality hair color and proprietary mixing technology ensure a perfect match every time. The color is bottled, labeled with the client’s name (because it’s made for them and no one else), and delivered within days.

eSalon was founded in 2010 by Francisco Gimenez,  visionary e-commerce entrepreneur, and is backed by Tamim Mourad, Cory Rosenberg and Omar Mourad. They were the team behind PriceGrabber.com, the pioneer price-comparison site acquired by Experian in 2005. The group partnered with Estelle Baumhauer, international master colorist and now eSalon’s Color Director, to develop the line.

Baumhauer, who has over 20 years’ experience at prestige salons around the world, brings an artistic perspective and a superb sense of fashion to her work. “It is exciting for me to make great professional color available to all women, not just to women of means,” Baumhauer adds.

Experiencing phenomenal growth since its creation four years ago, eSalon has shipped nearly one million hair color applications, and expanded into Canada and the United Kingdom. “Until now a woman’s only options were to spend $100 or more in a salon, or face endless aisles of mediocre drugstore color. We’ve turned the color market on its head and are excited about our continued success and confirmation of our vision,” Gimenez said.

eSalon has gained national attention from leading publications, including Entrepreneur, Wall Street Journal, Good Housekeeping and Lucky; won “Best of the Web” by InStyle and Total Beauty’s Readers’ Choice Award for Best Hair Color in 2013 and 2014.

Late Night Beauty Call: Nicki Minaj

Late Night Beauty Call Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj has made quite a stir with the release of her cover art for her forthcoming album which drops on July 28. Fans and beauty enthusiasts have been noticing Nicki’s style changes over the past few months. Gone are the colorful locks, one of a kid outfits, dramatic eye as well as lip tints. In their place Minaj has been serving up a big dose of natural beauty, which is why we have dialed her up!

Although we enjoyed seeing Nicki’s risk-taking looks we are enjoying her more subdued makeup. She’s a gorgeous woman who truly doesn’t need any extra bells and whistles to look fabulous. We wish we could have this Moment For Life and talk about Nicki all night, but our call has come to an end. We think the beauty lesson for tonight is that less is more.

We’ll be calling again tomorrow night, see more beauty inspiration on our Instagram: @official1966magazine
