Arianne SuggsUpdated on October 17, 2016October 17, 2016Leave a Comment

Angela Bassett’s daughter, oops, we mean Keke Palmer gives us life every time she decides to hit up the Gram. We know she is either going to be killing it with her couture or banging with a new hair look. Right now the talented triple threat is giving Ariel a run for her money. The Keke Palmer fiery red hair is so hot you think you may scorch a finger if you double tap her pic!

Hair Crush: Keke Palmer Fiery Red Hair With 5 Unbeatable Tips!

Are you feeling our latest hair crush? We love it because it is bold and completely sassy! The color red is full of passion, confidence, fearlessly and allurement. If you have a personality with a little bit of bite or je ne sais quoi then red hair could do you some justice.

Keke’s take on fiery red hair has included really short strands and a longer length version. Although we adore Palmer with her short cuts we are definitely feeling the longer hair and red tint. Plus, the full bangs give the overall look a chic, modern vibe. Keke looks like she could take Black Widow’s place in the Avengers and never miss a beat! ‘

Style Seen: Work it Keke! Palmer hit us with some of that fierce black on black couture. She wore Ben Taverniti Unravel pants, Alix top and Chiara Ferragni Collection heels.

Keke Palmer Fiery Red Hair – 5 Unbeatable Tips!

Unfortunately, red tends to fade and fast. Use pomegranate or cherry juice as a wash in order to enhance red tones. The juices produce a nice “stain” keeping the hair color more vibrant.
Stylists rule of thumb with red hair color is that the darker your skin tone the darker the red hue should be. If a garment in a particular red tint does not look right on your skin tone most likely neither would it on your strands. When choosing the proper red shade try going to a beauty supply store first and try on various red wigs. That way you can see yourself in the right color before any chemicals touch your hair.
When cleansing red strands use cold water instead of hot water if you can stand it. Hot water will encourage red dye to slip right out. So then, get use to bundling up after showers!
Save your dye job from being ruined from tap water! Water from the tap can be a little harsh on strands due to some of the minerals that have seeped their way in over time. Try adding a few drops of vinegar to your final rinse. The vinegar will aid in dissolving the calcium from the tap as well as lock the cuticles thus enhancing shine.
Also save your color from fading caused by heat styling tools. Keep all heat styling to a minimum and if you absolutely must use a dryer, curler or flat iron always apply a heat protector product first.

Jour/Ne recently revealed their 2017 Spring/Summer collection during Paris Fashion Week. The makeup that accompanied each garment was executed using all MAC Cosmetics. MAC put it best regarding the red lip color when it captioned a Jour/Ne pic stating, “Snow White, eat your heart out.”

Red Lip Color Tutorial

Snow White already got her prince must she stay the fairest with the bombest lip color too? Heck, no! MAC Cosmetics broke down how to get the coveted red lip color look. Here’s what they said,

“Get the look with Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour in Dance With Me, with an added thin layer of Feels So Grand. Topped with Clear Lipglass mixed with a bit of Red Glitter. For a darker skin tone, use High Drama with the addition of Lipglass in Clear and mixed with Glitter in Reflects Blackened Red.”

Christian Siriano NYFW Show Features 5 Plus Size Models!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on September 15, 2016September 15, 2016Leave a Comment

As if we needed anymore reasons to become even bigger fans of designer Christian Siriano! The famed Project Runway alumni continues to push boundaries and break the fashion mold. So far this year, real women with real curves have been finally getting the attention they deserve kicking off with the cover of Sports Illustrated. Now it’s fashion week’s turn and Siriano hit the industry with a major exclamation point. The NYFW Christian Siriano show features 5 plus size models!

Christian Siriano NYFW Show Features 5 Plus Size Models!

Take note fashion industry, orange is the new black and so are gorgeous curves. More on the orange reference later (wink, wink). For years, runway shows have featured one body type and one body type alone. At least 5’9 and no wider than a clothes hanger.

While these shows are lovely and entertaining one glaring fact remains… most women just don’t fit that category or build. Therefore, clothing that’s stylish often stops at size 10 if you’re lucky.

While many brands have stepped up to the plate to create clothing that’s not just either one big tent (i.e. Moo-Moo dress) or sadly plain and generic. Let’s face there’s plenty of room for improvement as well as more options. Furthermore, runway fashion is fun, cool and modern. Women of all sizes want to look that way. Yet, major designers unfortunately forget about the rest of us.

NYFW 2016

Nevertheless, that’s why the Christian Siriano NYFW show features 5 plus size models headline is such a big deal. Siriano himself said he feels that one day seeing curvy models during runway shows will be the norm. Can we get an amen? (LOL) Such an outcome would mean that more fashion houses will jump on board with showcasing real bodies as well.

Change is never easy but it always takes willing pioneers. For instance, if it wasn’t for the tireless efforts of Donyale Luna, Iman, Beverly Johnson and Naomi Campbell there wouldn’t be as much diversity in the modeling industry as we see now. Therefore, it is possible for the a major couture overhaul to occur.

The Innovative Pioneer

Christian Siriano is the perfect designer to get the ball rolling. Who of us can forget the magic he created for actress Leslie Jones? Especially, since she had to publicly mention that no designer wanted to dress her for the biggest moment of her career.

Siriano saved the day by designing a gorgeous red dress for Leslie to wear to her Ghostbusters movie premiere. Of course the gown was killer because heck, it was a Siriano design. However, it was also the fact that he crafted a dress that showed off her best assets. Proving you don’t have to be as thin as a whisper to look amazing on the red carpet or in clothes in general. It just takes a designer willing to go off the cuff or in this case off the mannequin.
