2015 Spring Makeup: Floating Eyeliner

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 10, 2015Leave a Comment

Like fashion, sometimes us girls can find ourselves in a bit of a beauty rut. The same colors, techniques and products are applied day after day till you look in the mirror contemplating if what you really need is a new fashion style or haircut. Therefore, we say mix things up a little and live life on the beauty edge here and there!

Giambattista Valli’s Giamba Spring 2015 Fashion Show highlighted a very daring eyeliner look. The eyeliner literally floated above the models’ eyes. To pull off this look in the real world it is important to keep the rest of the face quite natural.

The eyeliner is really the focal point and should be left to stand out alone. During the show makeup artist Val Garland used a creme liner by M.A.C. to achieve this beauty look but cremes are not always long-lasting which could cause your eyeliner look to do a disappearing act as the day rolls by. Prevent this by using an eyeliner pencil so that the design will stay all day.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 10, 2015Leave a Comment

Hip hop artists for years have worn their denim a little on the big side. It has often been up to major debate as to whether pants should stay up or be acceptable to go a little south. Nevertheless, for their spring 2015 runway show DSQUARED showcased models wearing extra baggy denim. The look was very relaxed and upped the cool chic factor by being coupled with bright colors.

Fashion Combo Fur and Enlarged Scarves

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 10, 2015Leave a Comment

Half the country is freezing their rastafarian-nay-nays off (OMG wasn’t Cool Runnings an awesome movie!) and the other half is somewhat surviving on erratic weather. Here in California some days are typical warm Cali days and then the next day its raining. For those who need to keep warm but still want to look fresh and modern, try uniting the scarf and fur coat with a nice pair of pants or denim.

The shirt for this ensemble can be plain since it will be hidden by an quite large scarf. You will stay nice and warm with this couture combination yet look fashion forward. Remember scarves and fur coats can be bold all on their own; therefore, when adding accessories such as a handbag be sure to match it to one piece or the other in order to maintain cohesion.

Rihanna Goes Pink for Grammys 2015

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 9, 2015Leave a Comment

All we have to say is that this was a whole lot of look for such a petite beautiful girl. Love it or hate it, let’s face it this dress definitely got us all talking. Rihanna went majorly pink for this year’s Grammys with pulled back hair and a more natural makeup look.

Now many may not have been fans of RiRi’s pretty in pink dress but her ensemble for her performance with Kanye West and Paul McCartney leaned more towards the style of Rihanna we have all grown to love. Sleek hair parted down the middle and black power suit… uhm, what now haters! (LOL)

Nicki Minaj Returns to Blonde Hair

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 6, 2015Leave a Comment

After several months with Raven black locks and a more reserved look, Nicki Minaj stepped out today back to her Barbz aka Black Barbie days. Besides her bold Versace and Guiseppe Zanotti ensemble what we took note of most was her return to blonde hair. Nicki has worn this hair look before, platinum blonde hair color while keeping dark roots in play.

Nevertheless, so far her fans have had mixed reactions to Minaj’s changed style. Fans on Instagram have given the music star over a million likes that span across the 9 pictures Nicki posted a little over an hour ago. Comments include sentiments that Minaj is the ultimate diva to pleas for the hip hop genius to return to her black hair color. Of course we loved Nicki with darker tresses but as we always say, style is all about self expression. Therefore, if Nicki loves it then Nicki should just rock it!
