2017 Beauty Trend: Orange Color Makeup Looks

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 5, 2017May 5, 2017Leave a Comment

Orange color makeup … it’s back! A few years ago you could barely find one runway show that didn’t possess tangerine vibes. The tint got super hot fast and soon it was heralded as the new rouge. As a result, cosmetics companies rushed to produce orange makeup to fill the trend’s new demand. One particular brand even created an universally pleasing blush with orange tones that got a mention in a Drake song.

Nevertheless, suddenly the orange color trend disappeared completely from the fashion as well as beauty scene. Things went back to more “usual” and less boisterous shades. However, now it looks like orange is becoming a big beauty star once again.

2017 Beauty Trend: Orange Color Makeup Looks

Where have we recently spotted this trend? At the 2017 Met Gala singer Zendaya stunned with orange tinted lips. Furthermore, Blackish beauty, Yara Shahidi attended the Chanel Cruise 2018 fashion show in an orange suit with an orange eye makeup look. Both ladies looked fabulous and proved this shade works on a wide range of skin tones.

Nonetheless, it’s not just celebrities who are getting in on the resurgence of the orange color. For instance, makeup powerhouse Lancome has released their very own orange matte lip shade. Orange Magic, as Lancome has named it can be found apart of the Lancome Matte Shaker Liquid Lipstick collection. The beauty brand wants its consumers to “ban the boring” and utilize more festive tints.

As the orange color trend continues to build momentum Lancome could certainly be on to something. So then, are you bold enough to try this vibrant color this season?

We DON’T Care! Amber Rose’s Dark Brown Hair with Highlights is Winning!

Arianne May 4, 2017May 4, 2017Leave a Comment

Well look-y here, Amber Rose just joined the long hair don’t care crew. Moreover, some may not be feeling Amber Rose’s new do, but to us she looks fab! Amber Rose’s Dark Brown Hair with Highlights are effortlessly sexy and fit her persona with a capital T.

Amber Rose’s Dark Brown Hair with Highlights is Winning

Rose debuted her new hair this week at the exclusive Nylon Mag party. She killed her look from head-to-toe with flowing waist-length highlighted hair and a sassy rouge dress by Angel Brinks. The gown goes by the name “Flammable.” Fitting because Rose’s look was definitely fire!

Nevertheless, we love darker tresses on Amber because it compliments her lovely skin tone. Also, the highlights are noticeable, but still blend-able so that the overall look is soft, neat yet seductively spicy! On a scale of 10 this hair look on Amber is a solid 20.

Dark Brown Hair with Highlights Haircare Tips

The key to healthy looking hair that has been highlighted is to restore any lost hydration. Aim to deep condition strands often. Apply rich conditioning hair mask after shampooing and leave it on for at least 15 minutes to half an hour. The benefits will be clearly seen in no time flat. You will enjoy strands that are the polar opposite of “porus” with tons of bounce and shine.

Choose the right shampoo and conditioner. Now that your hair has been chemically altered you can’t use your regular old shampoo or conditioner anymore. Instead for products specially formulated for color treated strands. Such products will be PH balanced in order to be gentle and less harsh on color treated hair.

Coloring can leave hair dry due to the chemicals so then protect ends at all cost. Highlighted hair often sprouts ends that tend to fray; therefore, do really tiny trims just to avoid having split ends.

Avoid heat styling as much as possible, but if it cannot be avoided always use a thermal protector.

Pharrell Williams is talented beyond compare, but he is certainly known for two things… music and fashion! Williams can always be spotted at the hottest music red carpet events as well as couture runway designer shows. Furthermore, he is constantly touted for his personal style and pizzazz in numerous men’s style mags. Therefore, it is no surprise to see him now stepping once again into the fashion spotlight front and center. The Chanel Gabrielle Bag Campaign Starring Pharrell Williams is taking fall/winter trends by storm!

Fashion Scene: The Chanel Gabrielle Bag Campaign Starring Pharrell Williams

We are reminded of a Seinfeld episode when Jerry is carrying an “European handbag” to transport all his daily valuables. Jerry loved it and it made something else very clear. Men have things they want to have on them when going around town just as much as us ladies. However, it seems that men are not always thought of in this way.

Most bags on the market are exclusively made with women in mind. This campaign by Chanel is attempting to give men more chic choices when it comes to bags. Is this a look all men would enjoy? Probably not, many guys still enjoy more of a briefcase design or a bag with small handles that they can carry by hand. However, if one prefers straps they will definitely enjoy the comfort level of swinging something over their shoulder and going about their activities.

Pharrell is the first man to be featured in a Chanel bag campaign. The campaign’s film short was directed by Antoine Carlier. Get a peek of it below.
