IMAN Covers InStyle March 2019 Issue -Fashion’s Unrivaled Empress

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].”

IMAN Covers InStyle March 2019 Issue

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.

Concealer Gone Wild-Application Tips for Flawless Under Eyes

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.

Arianne January 2, 2019January 2, 2019

SHOTS Fired! Looks like we got us a good ol’ makeup battle going on in the beauty realm! With the release of Morphe cosmetics new 60 shade deep foundation, many were wondering what Fenty Beauty was up to in that very department. Well, don’t think for one second the queen is not always working on that new new. Just today Rih revealed that 2019 will see the fulfillment of Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Foundation 50 shades lineup. Yup, the Fenty’s foundation range is growing and we are here for it all!

Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Foundation 50 Shades -10 NEW Tones

So what’s new? Well, if you recall, Fenty Beauty started it all when it released 40 shades of foundation that fit a large range of skin tones. An area in beauty that often did not receive much attention. However, that was just the start for Rihanna. The singer has been consistently adding more colors to all of her various product creations; from Gloss Bombs to Mattemoiselle lippies.

Now Rih’s already extensive and successful 40 tone foundation is gaining 10 new hues in the sisterhood. In regards of this new release the brand says,

“But are y’all really ready?!? We are adding 10 more Pro Filt’r Foundation shades, for a total of 50, to the collection. These shades were specifically created by Rihanna to match skin tones y’all didn’t know we could.

Same soft-matte, longwearing, light as air; and photo-shoot ready formula that y’all know and love. With more shades to match more skin tones! Get it on January 11 at fentybeauty.com, Sephora, Harvey Nichols and Sephora in JCP!”

Morphe Fluidity Foundations -60 Shades of Foundation!

ArianneUpdated on January 2, 2019January 2, 2019

Rihanna… girl, look what you have started! Since the genesis of Fenty Beauty, several cosmetics companies have been hard at work in the lab developing foundations that more suitably match their consumer base. The first exciting foundation release of 2019; hands down is the Morphe Fluidity Foundation. A beauty product that boasts a jaw-dropping 60 different shades!

Morphe Fluidity Foundations -60 Shades of Foundation

No that is no typo. 60. 60 shades of foundation is on the table for us over at Morphe. The brand has been a tad bit cryptic, not really giving much away about all of this. Regarding their upcoming release Morphe simply reveals,

“Leave no tone unturned. Introducing Fluidity. 60 tone-empowering shades, for every babe. Launching 1.17.19.”

As one can see, Morphe isn’t trying to say much at all yet. Maybe they don’t want to oversell it; because of the wild success Fenty Beauty is still having. However, this foundation release is nothing to just brush off.

It is still another drop in the bucket that helps to improve the state of the beauty industry. For years, many skin tones have been ignored and now brands are finally waking up to the fact that light, medium and dark just won’t cut it.

One thing that we love so far about this product is that… well, actually there’s quite a bit to love. Besides the awesome range in colors, Fluidity is also:

Transfer Resistant
Longwear
Parabens Free
Water Resistant
Oil Free
Sweat Proof
Fragrance Free

Ugh… we stan Morphe, take our money already! Therefore, how much will Fluidity cost you? Get this… it’s UNDER $20! Yes, Morphe Fluidity Foundation will retail for just $18. 2019 is looking real real good!

Want a preview of the Fluidity’s tones? Watch the video below:

PSSST… there’s more… Morphe is also releasing concealer and powder shades! More on that later today so check back!

Living Coral-Pantone Color of the Year for 2019

ArianneUpdated on December 6, 2018December 6, 2018

For some 20 years Pantone has released a yearly color which embodies the mood and vibe for the upcoming year. So then, what is the shade for 2019? Just announced… Living Coral- Pantone Color of the Year for 2019!

Nevertheless, not quite sure what this color is or what does it convey? No worries, Pantone always makes sure to explain their choice in full detail. Regarding Living Coral Pantone says,

“Introducing the Pantone Color of the Year 2019, Pantone 16-1546 Living Coral. An animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge.

Sociable and spirited, the engaging nature of Living Coral welcomes and encourages lighthearted activity. Symbolizing our innate need for optimism and joyful pursuits. Living Coral embodies our desire for playful expression.”

Living Coral-Pantone Color of the Year for 2019

One question that we have already received is: why does it seem like this color is changing between several different tones? Is it like an orange or a pink?

The truth is, coral is not always the same color! When found in nature coral tones can range from a gorgeous pinkish red-orange to a rosy pink to even a rare gold. Therefore, under different light tones can seem quite different.

Furthermore, many consider Living Coral to be among the “sunset” hues. Think of all the beautiful sunsets that incorporate orange, pink, red, strong pinks all melded together in a tantalizing way. If the sky can look so mesmerizing just think what you will look like in this color all 2019!
