Marc Beauty Velvet Noir Mascara -Be a Layer Queen!

Designer Marc Jacobs’ Marc Beauty has been steadily releasing one makeup gem after another. In the age of lash extensions and faux lashes, at times good old mascara can get lost in the shuffle. Nevertheless, the Marc Beauty Velvet Noir Mascara is helping to bring sexy back…in the form of a gorgeous full, natural lash line.

On its own the Marc Beauty Velvet Noir Mascara is a great product. However, when you layer it that is when the real magic happens! Nonetheless, why should a lady layer mascara?

Layering allows the mascara wearer to achieve a stronger look as well as durability. For instance, if you first apply a regular formula then layer waterproof mascara on top your overall look will last longer. Moreover, by layering lengthening and volumizing formulas you get thicker, longer looking lashes. Cool huh?

Layering is actually something the Marc Jacobs brand fully supports and encourages. Marc Beauty sells two great products to get the job done. Velvet Noir and O! Mega Lash.

Recently, MB explained the best way to layer the fab mascaras. The brand revealed, “Layer up on lashes. First, use O! Mega Lash for separated long lashes and then layer with Velvet Noir for added drama and epic volume.” Simple enough. Have fun in those mirrors ladies and don’t forget you can always layer formulas to get an amazing lash look naturally.

Let’s take a quick tour of this luxurious perfume starting from the outside working our way inside.

First off, a round of applause for the Victoria’s Secret design team when it came to Bombshell’s creative and decadent look. The bottle boast an elaborate display of Swarovski crystals that immediately ooze old Hollywood glamour. Think of the old starlets who sat before their vanity mirrors giving themselves a quick spritz before walking onto set or meeting adoring fans. Oh yeah babes, can’t you just feel the allure!

Moreover, your $250 fragrance comes in a fancy black lacquered box that possesses a key just in case you want to lock away your valuable scented friend in crime. We love the touch of the lock box because it just adds to the limited edition feel. This is not your ordinary perfume, you are going to want to treat this one like the treasure it is and then some.

Besides, a great design the scent itself is a combination of florals and fruits that will make you feel like the good but bad girl (insert devil emoticon).

Beauty Question: What on Earth is an Emulsifier?

Leave a Comment on Beauty Question: What on Earth is an Emulsifier?

Beauty Question What on Earth is an Emulsifier

Beauty Answer: Emulsifiers are soap-based substances that are added to numerous beauty products to ensure any water-based or oils remain binded together. Naturally, oil and water do not mix with one another. For instance, if you have ever boiled pasta you must likely added oil to the water to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Nevertheless, if you took a closer look into the pot most likely you noticed that the oil and water did not combine or mix. The oil stayed completely intact in little oil droplets.

So then, this means that emulsifiers help achieve something that is not a natural process. Since emulsifiers are added it allows users the convenience of not having to constantly shake a product in order to get the product ingredients to bind back together. Although they obviously help to save time, does this mean they are completely harmless?

Not quite, our beauty lovelies, here is something you might not know about emulsifiers. These substances can be found in products that we use everyday such as lotions, creams and body washes. Once these products are applied to the skin and any oil or water is absorbed or evaporated the emulsifiers are left behind leaving residue. This very residue can cause damage to your skin’s protective layer and produce dryness. When we are young our skin tends to produce more oils but as we get older or skin is dryer which causes our skin to age faster. Therefore, avoiding dryness is like protecting our fountain of youth.

New Season New Beauty Routine

Beauty Quickie: It is very wise to change up the beauty products you use as the seasons change. This is because your skin requires and has different needs during various parts of the year. Winter tends to be drier so your products should have a more moisturizing effect. Moreover, during summer which is approaching rapidly, use products containing lots of SPF to protect skin. Trust us, it is a complete myth that black skin does not need to worry about sun exposure.

Beware of the Beauty Label!

Beware of the Beauty Label

Beauty Quickie: Sorry to burst any beauty bubbles but those labels on those products you love may not do as advertised. It is a sad reality, but there are some beauty labels that display false information. Protect yourself by relying on the old adage, “If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.” Lookout for products that promise all-day protection or results instantaneously.

Should Mascara Only Be Applied to the Top Lashes?

Should mascara only be applied to top lashes-selita ebanks

Beauty Quickie: Beauty experts agree that mascara should just be left to the top lashes. Nevertheless, if you want to give your eyes the appearance of being wider then apply mascara to the bottom lashes as well. Always seem to get mascara everywhere when applying product to the bottom eyelashes? Try placing a tissue under the lower lashes before application to cut down on any beauty messes.

2015 Spring Makeup: Floating Eyeliner

Updated on Leave a Comment on 2015 Spring Makeup: Floating Eyeliner

2015 Spring Makeup Floating Eyeliner

Like fashion, sometimes us girls can find ourselves in a bit of a beauty rut. The same colors, techniques and products are applied day after day till you look in the mirror contemplating if what you really need is a new fashion style or haircut. Therefore, we say mix things up a little and live life on the beauty edge here and there!

Giambattista Valli’s Giamba Spring 2015 Fashion Show highlighted a very daring eyeliner look. The eyeliner literally floated above the models’ eyes. To pull off this look in the real world it is important to keep the rest of the face quite natural.

The eyeliner is really the focal point and should be left to stand out alone. During the show makeup artist Val Garland used a creme liner by M.A.C. to achieve this beauty look but cremes are not always long-lasting which could cause your eyeliner look to do a disappearing act as the day rolls by. Prevent this by using an eyeliner pencil so that the design will stay all day.

Do you plan on rocking floating eyeliner this spring? Join the discussion on our Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr or tweet us @1966magazine.
