Anastasia Beverly Hills Sultry Palette-Get Sexy Smoky Metallic Eyes

Norvina Claudia who is the President of the renown beauty salon, Anastasia Beverly Hills, shared some details regarding the creation as well as the decadent tones included in the palette by stating,

“The inspiration for this palette was sexy smoky metallic eye looks. It’s also a neutral palette that is free of warm orange/browns/reds (bloom is coral). I felt the variety was necessary for ABH.

The cool tones are accompanied by neutrals and a pop of coral that I felt balanced the scales. The foiled shades are super creamy with a lot of dimension and of course [the] same formula as Norvina or Modern Renaissance/Soft Glam, etc. These pair well with glitter, and I’m most proud of Slate, that shade is not an easy one. Noir is existing, but you need a black if you’re doing smoky looks.

One last thing; ABH is known for colorful palettes and warm toned palettes; and as a brand it’s very important to remain cognizant of consumer needs and wants that are within our core demographic and outside of it. Growth is about expansion and variety, to me this palette will invite consumers to ABH that possibly have never tried it before. Love you! Hope you like it.”

Her style and vibe had a very natural feel to it yet she combined bold elements that only enhanced her radiant looks. So then, for these reasons we had to give home girl a call!

Nude Lips for Brown Girls

Arianne Suggs April 14, 2015April 14, 2015Leave a Comment

Nude lips are basically a makeup look where the lip shade matches your skin tone. The key is to find a tint that makes lips appear nude or blends seamlessly with your skin color without having the lips go missing from the face. You still want your lips to look like they are there, it is just a more toned down or muted lip look.

There are some who believe darker skin tones cannot wear a nude lip, but regardless of your skin shade always remember that nude lips will not look right if you do not find the right color. In my own beauty escapades it took quite a few attempts in order to find a shade that I liked. For me, mixing browns also helped me to achieve the look that I felt came across “nude.” Here is how I achieve this look:

1. Exfoliation: Dry, flaky lips will be VERY visible with this look so be sure to use a toothbrush to gently massage away any dead skin.

2. Lip Liner: I like to line my lips with a brown pencil that is a shade or two darker than than the lip color I plan to use. The liner not only keeps my lip color from running away, but the contrast of light and dark makes my lips really pop.

3. Fill Em’ In: I use a brown lip pencil or even brown eye liner to fill my lips in so that the lipstick will have a good base to adhere to and stay put. Yes, I have many brown eyeliner pencils that I use for my lips, cheeks or you name it. I find some products work in a multi-purpose way so why reinvent the wheel especially if the color looks great on you?

4. Color: Apply the lipstick or lip color you feel matches your skin tone best making sure the color extends even to the corners of the mouth. The nude effect will only look natural if all areas are matching your skin.

5. Shine Like a Diamond: If your lip shade is not specially formulated to add lustrous shine a simple swipe of lip gloss will do the trick.
