Metallic Lips: Foiled Lips From Jeremy Scott Spring 2019 Fashion Show

ArianneUpdated on September 8, 2018September 7, 2018

Metallic lips are back and more BOLD and IN YOUR FACE than ever! Forget glitter, forget your regular sparkle palette and look to the runway for all cosmetic inspiration. That is because designer genius, Jeremy Scott, for his Jeremy Scott Spring 2019 show; brought the makeup house down by bringing foiled lips back to the catwalk.

Metallic Lips: Foiled Lips From Jeremy Scott Spring 2019 Fashion Show

Depending on how lipstick fanatic you are… you may recall the foiled lips splash that was created by the iconic Pat McGrath. Her crimson shiny, futuristic lip look was the talk of the beauty town when it appeared for the Maison Margiela Fall 2017 Couture Week show. Or perhaps you may be thinking of those Glitzy Lips foil appliques from like the early 2010’s era.

Regardless, of what foil makeup moment immediately comes to mind; no matter how many times you see foil lips it never gets old. It’s fierce, edgy and totally cosidered statement makeup. For Jeremy Scott’s fashion show for New York Fashion Week MUA (makeup artist), Kabuki, perfected and executed a dazzling metallic pink lip. Want the look? Here’s how:

Purchase foil lips in the tone or color you like. They will most likely come in pre-cut “lip shape” strips.
Next make sure lips are super clean and dry.
Apply an adhesive and wait for it to go from a milky tint to clear. PLEASE WAIT or the foiling will not work!
Now place the foil (shiny side up) on your lips and press. After a few moments you can gently remove and voila! A foil masterpiece! Retouch and repeat in order to fill in any gaps.

Arianne September 7, 2018September 7, 2018

Designer Carly Cushnie is killing us softly! Giving us a little something of everything… think dresses, pant suits and swimwear. The Cushnie Spring-Summer 2019 Runway Show ushered in a feminine flair; with strong emphasis on silhouette as well as delicate detailing.

There was also plenty of black girl magic to around. Models such as Winnie Harlow, Aid Curtiss, Tarah Rodgers, Hereith Paul, Alicia Burke, Maria Borges as well as Grace Mahary.

New York Fashion Week: Cushnie Spring-Summer 2019 Runway Show

In a realm well-known for over the top glamour and structure; it is refreshing to see Cushnie still lean toward simplistic luxury. The fashion label’s fashion show for the Spring/Summer 2019 season incorporated enchanting floor-length gowns, as well as modern denim wear.

If you love a great jean ensemble then the LEE x Cushnie lineup (which is apart of the Cushnie SS19 collection) will certainly be worth your couture consideration. It includes tops, pants, jumpsuits and even cut-out dresses. A very fun, relaxed and flirty addition to an already set to stun runway show.

Another aspect that we absolutely loved about the show is the sexy elements of the gowns. Cushnie proves that less can be more. While the gowns cover most of the body; deep V necks, high thigh slits, cut-outs, fringe, spaghetti strap as well as off the shoulder designs infused each look with sultry sass.

Lastly, the color tones are playful, sophisticated and strong. From festive to noire, the hues of the collection are perfect for the spring as well as summer seasons.

Fashion Notes: When it comes to fashion styling remember to K.I.S.S. (keep it simple sis). Models in the show wore sleek and well-trimmed tresses as well as simple yet large hoop earrings.

Beautiful Black Women: Janet Jackson Covers InStyle October 2018 Issue!

ArianneUpdated on September 6, 2018September 6, 2018

This just in… Janet Jackson Covers InStyle October 2018 issue! For the edition Ms. Jackson is addressing her thoughts on beauty as well as her equally as famous fambam. Regarding the edition InStyle magazine reveals:

“After all these years the luminous Janet Jackson is still our girl crush – and the cover star of our October beauty issue! What does she think makes a woman beautiful? ‘It’s vulnerability. It’s power… confidence … happiness… being selfless and what you do for others before doing for yourself,’ she tells Laura Brown.

Janet opens up about life as a mom and an entertainer; beauty, and what it was really like growing up [a] Jackson.”

Beautiful Black Women: Janet Jackson Covers InStyle October 2018 Issue

Janet seems to have always had plenty of confidence. From belting out her hits in front of thousands night after night; to having the ability to follow the toughest act in music, her big bro Michael Jackson… and succeed; while breaking numerous records in her own right.

Nonetheless, for the October 2018 edition of InStyle Jackson shares the moment she finally had her “Aha” confidence moment. In a sneak peek of their exclusive InStyle states:

“The first time Janet Jackson truly felt sexy and confident wasn’t until she was well into her 30s. ‘I got out of a funky relationship and finally got back to me,’ she opens up to Laura Brown in our October beauty issue.

‘I went to therapy, which was all about finding that thing you like about yourself. The realization that, you know what; you’re not so bad after all. I’m not saying you’re great or you’re the best; but it’s not as bad as you were made to feel that it was.’

How did she overcome some of her biggest insecurities? ‘A lot of it has to do with experience, getting older. Understanding, realizing that there isn’t just one thing that is considered beautiful. Beautiful comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors.’ Amen to that. Full interview [online].”

Rihanna for Garage Magazine The Human Future -Issue 15 by Deana Lawson

ArianneUpdated on September 4, 2018September 4, 2018

When you thought Rihanna is only going to hit you with a Vogue September cover! One of fashion’s undisputed couture queens continues her dominance with the release of yet another set of magazine visuals. This time the songstress plops herself down in front of photography genius, Deana Lawson. Let’s get into this one babes, Rihanna for Garage Magazine The Human Future edition!

Rihanna for Garage Magazine The Human Future -Issue 15 by Deana Lawson

New album, new makeup dropping and more fashion editorials. Rih is certainly giving the masses what they want! Garage Magazine released a statement regarding their Badgalriri and Lawson collab. The mag states,

“Behold! Rihanna stars on the cover GARAGE issue 15, The Human Future, photographed by artist Deana Lawson. Rihanna is a queen, but under Deana Lawson’s gaze even mere mortals take on an indisputable regality.

In conversation with fellow artist, Arthur Jafa, Deana Lawson reflects on how she came to photography and the process of taking pictures beyond the surface. Meet the celebrated artist behind this photograph [and read] the full story on garage.vice.com.”

So what are the kind of things Deana and Arthur gab about? For one, Lawson’s drive to create on her on terms. In conversation with Arthur Jafe, Deana says,

“Someone said that I’m ruthless when it comes to what I want. Maybe that’s part of it: I have an image in mind that I have to make. It burns so deeply that I have to make it; and I don’t care what people are going to think.”

Rihanna for Garage Magazine The Human Future -Issue 15 by Deana Lawson (Continued)

So how does she do it? How is Lawson able to make her artistic vision stand out from the rest of the pack? In Garage’s issue 15 featuring Rihanna, Deana gets real on her ethic and eye for great photography. She reveals,

“When I’m going out to make work, usually I’m choosing people that come from a lower or working-class situation. My choice feels natural because it’s a rejection of the people and forces I grew up around in Rochester… It’s about value. It’s about using a figure or a body to represent something higher than we would normally associate it with.

“I believe… I was destined to be an artist with a camera. It all adds up: my grandmother who worked for George Eastman, my mother who was a secretary at Kodak; my aunt who helps people ‘see,’ [and] my father who was the family photographer. How could it not be destiny?”

Fashion Notes: For her cover Rihanna wears a slew of designer attire. Her black briefs are Dolce & Gabbana, jewelry is from Tiffany & Co., pink vintage top is One of a Kind Fashion Archive; with shoes by Y Project.
