Beauty Quickie: Ever wake up in the morning and realize the little corner of product inside your tube of makeup was actually gone days ago? Running out of a beauty product can happen to the best of us but should not cause you anxiety. If you need to prime lids for eye makeup first apply moisturizer followed by foundation. These steps will help lock your makeup in place just like primer.

Break away from the beanies, snap-backs as well as fedoras and opt for a total out of the box look…the top hat. Top hats may be a more male-driven fashion, however the accessory can look just as elegant and sophisticated on women. We spotted the top hat during an equestrian themed runway show for fall/winter fashion week in Toronto, Canada. Pair the hat with denim, boots, khakis, blazers, long coats and even a nicely tailored suit. With such a stylish hat you are bound to make a strong fashion statement.
1966 Magazine Editor Alicia Suggs dishes on her new favorite beauty product and explains why it could just be your next beauty buy as well.
1966: Okay Alicia so tell us about this product that you are obsessed with now.
Alicia: Alright, it’s called Maybelline New York Master Glaze By FaceStudio and the shade that I am currently wearing in the picture is Make a Mauve. I love it because at times I have such a hard time finding a blush that will give me a more natural flush. I have a very yellow undertone to my skin so applying strong red or super pink blushes makes me look like Homie the Clown (laughs). Not a good look!
1966: What type of blush do you normally wear then?
Alicia: I usually just stick to a blush that is more peachy-orange. I find that such a shade is more universally pleasing on all skin tones so I stick to that family of tints. However, I love the look of rosy cheeks on women, to me it gives such a youthful, fresh look to the skin.
1966: Agreed. So then, why do you recommend Maybelline New York Master Glaze?
Alicia: If you have a strong undertone like me, you already know the struggle. This product seems to almost diffuse the yellow undertone giving me a nice warm complexion. Also, it lasts and stays on all day without having to reapply which helps save on product and money in the end.
1966: Thanks Alicia for taking the time the share and everyone go check out Maybelline New York Master Glaze by FaceStudio!

Hair Quickie: It is a good habit to brush hair every night from root to ends in order to promote growth by stimulating the scalp as well as give tresses a healthy sheen. Locks will look more luminous due to the distribution of natural oils throughout the shaft caused by the brushing action.
This braided hairstyle is simple yet chic and will do an amazing job of protecting your hair from harmful elements that could lead to breakage or split ends.
Get the Look:
Part your hair down the middle and pull tresses (using pomade if needed) back into a low bun.
Slide on braided hair accessory leaving middle part slightly exposed.
Spritz with holding spray as well as oil mist to give hair luminous shine.
Editor’s Pick: Headband Fashion Elastic Stretch Synthetic Hair Braid Braided Headband Color Black (available at amazon.com)

Gorgeous model, Osi Ugonoh can be spotted on the the cover of Glamour Magazine Poland. We loved the stunning blue ensemble as well as eyeshadow makeup and got all fuzzy inside as we read the tag line giving Osi top model credentials! We can’t say it enough that we love seeing more and more black women on the cover of magazines highlighting our beauty on a global scale. Let’s keep pushing forward and continue to inspire each other to greatness!
We are absolutely in love with this editorial of model, Aleah Morgan for the January Issue of ELLE magazine. She’s causal yet glamorous walking the busy city streets of New York City. The editorial is entitled, “Welcome to New York” and was photographed by Laurie Bartley.
