How did IMAN come to have such an amazing career in the tough and gruff modeling and fashion industries? Well, the model is discussing just that to InStyle. Regarding the piece and IMAN’s gorgeous visuals, the magazine says,

“Supreme. For our second March subscriber cover, IMAN wore this t-shirt as an homage to her stature as an unrivaled deity of the modeling world; a trailblazing cosmetics entrepreneur; and a long-standing advocate for women. (Although it was her idea for it to be wet!).

Her career has spanned four decades. And although she retired from the runways in 1989; she continues to outpace some of her youngest peers both in relevancy and ad pages. Most recently doing campaigns for Valentino and Balmain.

‘My plan is just loose. It’s kind of weird, because I’ve worked all my life, from when I was 14 years old… I’ve stumbled into things; or things found me. So now I’m at a stage where i’ll just see what happens.’

Read more of Eric Wilson’s profile of the supermodel at [our website online].”

So really, how did the wet tee shirt thing come about? It’s such a sexy move and InStyle’s Fashion News Director, Eric Wilson had the full scoop! Wilson reveals,

“About that time I had to ask IMAN why she decided to pose in a wet T-shirt for the cover of InStyle. ‘I suggested it,’ she told me. ‘I’m 63 — why would I have a Supreme T-shirt? It’s just a boring T-shirt. It’s too young and too hip.

So (on the set) I said, jokingly, ‘Why don’t we get it wet?’ And as I said it, everybody said, ‘Yeah!’ I was like, “F&%&, now I have to deliver.'”

Sounds juicy. Also, Eric says there is more to the story. So get the details on that as well as the rest of interview at www.instyle.com/celebrity/iman-march-feature.

Alicia Suggs February 4, 2019February 4, 2019Leave a Comment

Beauty Tip: How To Apply Concealer

At times makeup can be a little challenging, but with a little know how as well as practice you can be good to go. Concealer is the perfect product if you are concerned about lessening the appearance of under eye circles and/or bags. Therefore, when Saturday morning rolls around after a fun Friday night you will have no fear facing our dear friend the bathroom mirror.

Nevertheless, we are well aware that it’s not always a night out that may have us reaching for some beauty camouflage. Naturally, many women deal with under eye issues, making learning proper application essential. Moreover, concealer is one of the trickier products because applying too much runs the risk of it instantly showing in photos due to flash lighting or even worse giving off a caked on vibe. Both of which are not very cute beauty looks. Therefore, is there a fool proof method for applying concealer?

How to Apply Concealer

Yes ladies there is: Stare straight ahead in the mirror when applying concealer to cover dark circles. If you look up you will apply way too much. Also, apply the product in the shape of a triangle; with the base underneath the eye and the point going towards the cheek.

Applying it this way creates what’s known as the “triangle of light.” You are able to brighten under the eye; thus reducing the appearance of dark circles. All while you also give your cheek area a little lift. Simple right?

Well, that is our little tricks for a flawless concealer application. How do you conquer dark circles?

Alcohol in Skincare -What Types are Good and Bad for You

ArianneUpdated on January 16, 2019January 16, 2019

Beauty Quickie: When it comes to alcohol in skincare products, do you know which ones are good or bad for your skin? Yes, not all alcohols are created equal or necessarily bad; even though, oftentimes alcohol becomes like a dirty word when it comes to skincare products.

Well, today we are going to change all of that for you. We are going to give you a comprehensive list of good as well as bad alcohols normally found in skincare items. Additionally, we will briefly you tell you exactly what they are capable of doing to or for your skin.

Alcohol in Skincare -What Types are Good and Bad for You

Do you want the good news or bad news first? Well, let’s get the bad out the way. Bad alcohols unfortunately zap and evaporate moisture from the skin and can irritate it. Yikes. Here is a list of baddies to avoid:

Alcohol
Alcohol Denat
Ethanol
Ethanol Alcohol
Denature Alcohol
Methanol
Benzyl Alcohol
Isopropyl Alcohol
SD Alcohol
SD Alcohol 40

Now for the good. The good alcohols you find in products can bring some benefit to your skin. They are actually “fatty alcohols” that work as emollients that are naturally hydrating and moisturizing. So then, if you could use a little help in the hydration department you will want to look for a product that includes at least one of the following:

Glycol
C12-16
Cetyl Alcohol
Stearyl Alcohol
Lauryl Alcohol
Cetearyl Alcohol
Myristyl Alcohol
Butylene Glycol
Propanediol

There you have it. The good and the bad. As one can see, it is always very important to know what is in your skincare products. Always check the ingredients list on the back to ensure your skin is being treated properly.
