Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 19, 2015January 19, 2015Leave a Comment

If we are going to develop whip lash it might as well be in the name of beauty. Can you imagine what you could see after 100 years have passed? No doubt fashions and styles would have changed numerous times as well as trends. Cut.com’s new video, “100 Years of Beauty: Marshay” is a time lapse film featuring popular black female hairstyles and beauty looks spanning from 1910 to 2010. Director Michael Gaston and editor Blaine Ludy revealed that the 59-second video took three completely separate shoots to complete. This video is fitting with Black History month being just around the corner so it’s cool to see a quick review of our striking appearance. Let’s continue to let our intelligence, sophistication as well as beauty continue to shine brightly for the next 100 years and beyond.

5 Skin Tips Every Woman Should Know

Arianne Suggs January 16, 2015January 16, 2015Leave a Comment

1. Never touch your face, doing so can lead to break outs.

2. Always wash and moisturize your face in an upward motion to help minimize sagging skin in the future.

3. Do not “pop” or squeeze pimples in order not to cause a tiny pit or scar.

4. The easiest way to freshen up makeup during the day is to blot oily areas (nose, forehead & chin) with a tissue then apply a thin layer of foundation.

5. Women of color DO need to protect their skin from harmful elements such as the sun. Be sure to choose a SPF formulated moisturizer to keep skin healthy.

What Not to Do With Dark Eye Circles

Beauty Quickie: If you are prone to develop dark eye circles it is best to avoid using mascara on your lower lashes. Applying mascara on the lower lashes can cast a shadow causing the area under your eyes to look even darker.

Beauty Quickie: Prevent pencil eyeliner from running away from your face by applying powder in a shade slightly darker or lighter than the pencil shade. Simply place the powder right over the area that has been penciled. This little trick will prevent your eyeliner from smudging with subtlety.

Maybelline New York Master Glaze By FaceStudio

Arianne Suggs January 13, 2015January 13, 2015Leave a Comment

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!
