Editor’s Diary: Urban Decay Candy Flip Hi-Fi Lipgloss

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 12, 2018February 12, 2018Leave a Comment

Dear Diary,

I recently spotted two of my favorite things. Ebony model Duckie Thot (duh) and an out of this world lip gloss color! The new Urban Decay Candy Flip Hi-Fi Lipgloss turns your lips into an artistic canvas filled with mesmerizing, sparkly details!

Editor’s Diary: Urban Decay Candy Flip Hi-Fi Lipgloss

Seriously, Rihanna had it right; when it comes to beauty you should always, “Shine bright like a diamond.” Gleaming and dazzling makeup is not new to the makeup scene. For instance, for the past 8 months holographic and “galaxy” themed makeup products have garnered mass attention. This latest addition to the market by Urban Decay is right on par.

Candy Flip is apart of Urban Decay’s Hi-Fi Shine Ultra Cushion Lipgloss Collection. The brand is heralding their line as every girl’s new lipgloss holy grail. Moreover, the collection contains 20 new shades! They’re names are striking and immediately catchy. They are:

Jawbreaker
Candy Flip
SPL
Midnight Cowgirl
Fuel
Bang
Fireball
Beso
Dirty Talk
1993
Shadowheart
Obsessed
Big Bang
Savage
Snitch
Backtalk
Rapture
Naked
Snapped
Goldmine

Nonetheless, in regards to Candy Flip, I love that it covers two of the year’s hottest trends. The color Purple as well as bold hues in general. For 2018 Pantone has declared that Ultra Violet is this year’s Color of the Year. This luxurious color evokes a sense of royalty, ingenuity, originality as well as visionary thinking that points us toward the future.

Furthermore, bold color is taking over every red carpet and fashion house. Now is not the time to be boring. If you want to make a makeup statement then incorporate fun and festive tones into your look!

LOVE,

Arianne XOXO

Melanin Magic: Meet Shudu Gram -The World’s First Digital Supermodel

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 12, 2018February 12, 2018Leave a Comment

She’s one of the hardest working models in the industry… and she’s not even real! Meet Shudu Gram, a CGI wonder that is being featured on magazine covers and shouted out by some of biggest brands in the world. With a career that any mere human lover of fashion would want and thousands of fans; it looks as though Shudu’s career is poised to only rise.

Melanin Magic: Meet Shudu Gram -The World’s First Digital Supermodel

Who is she? That is the question that started it all. Shudu Gram’s creator posed it after the CGI supermodel first started making waves. Since her introduction into the fashion world, one puzzling question seemed to develop and stay on the tip of everyone’s tongue. Is this beautiful woman even real?

Gorgeous, extremely. A killer fashion model, no doubt. An actual human being, major doubt.

As much as the world wanted to believe Shudu Gram’s photography was real; her beauty just seemed a little manufactured. However, that’s when the magic occurred. No one cares!

Like us, literally every fan didn’t care if she is in fact fake. In the end, her work or the work of her creator is just simply too exquisite to ignore. Human or CGI people respect the images as stunning art additions for the world to behold.

Therefore, who is the genius behind Shudu Gram? Obviously, someone not only talented, but should win an award for being able to keep such a huge secret. Shudu is the creation of photographer, Cameron-James Wilson. Wilson is no stranger to the fashion industry; having worked with everyone from Victoria’s Secret model Devon Windsor to Gigi Hadid.

Shudu Gram -The World’s First Digital Supermodel

From the beginning, we have been huge fans of Wilson’s artistry with his CGI supermodel. We have featured her numerous times and still can not get enough. Even though some may take offense to the likeness of a black model’s features being used; we think Cameron-James’ work is lovely and tastefully done.

In a world that normally tries to tear down black girls and women. Saying we are unattractive and unable to sell or push merchandise with our beauty. It is nice to see someone create imagery that celebrates our Melanin Magic and brings our beauty to the fore. Proving once again our beauty is striking, sought after and of course, sellable.

Shudu Gram’s gorgeous self has been utilized on the cover of ULIHOUMISM magazine as well as a muse for Soul Sky brand. A clothing label originally from Africa. Furthermore, recently even Fenty Beauty has shown off Shudu’s fabulousness. The cosmetics giant is the first makeup brand to use Shudu’s image to market a beauty product. Thus, showing Rihanna is always ahead of the game and competition; even when it comes to using CGI models. Shudu can be seen rocking Rihanna’s MATTEMOISELLE in “SAWC.”

Therefore, well done Cameron-James Wilson! Moreover, congratulations on designing the world’s first CGI supermodel.

Thus, securing work in numerous magazines as well as as campaigns for huge brands such as Fenty Beauty and Moschino.

Now one of the most sought after black models in the industry, Duckie is only poised for more dominance. While the world excitedly waits to learn of more more of her upcoming projects. Here are few details regarding this latest Love Magazine spread.
