2017 Beauty Trend: Orange Color Makeup Looks

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 5, 2017May 5, 2017Leave a Comment

Orange color makeup … it’s back! A few years ago you could barely find one runway show that didn’t possess tangerine vibes. The tint got super hot fast and soon it was heralded as the new rouge. As a result, cosmetics companies rushed to produce orange makeup to fill the trend’s new demand. One particular brand even created an universally pleasing blush with orange tones that got a mention in a Drake song.

Nevertheless, suddenly the orange color trend disappeared completely from the fashion as well as beauty scene. Things went back to more “usual” and less boisterous shades. However, now it looks like orange is becoming a big beauty star once again.

2017 Beauty Trend: Orange Color Makeup Looks

Where have we recently spotted this trend? At the 2017 Met Gala singer Zendaya stunned with orange tinted lips. Furthermore, Blackish beauty, Yara Shahidi attended the Chanel Cruise 2018 fashion show in an orange suit with an orange eye makeup look. Both ladies looked fabulous and proved this shade works on a wide range of skin tones.

Nonetheless, it’s not just celebrities who are getting in on the resurgence of the orange color. For instance, makeup powerhouse Lancome has released their very own orange matte lip shade. Orange Magic, as Lancome has named it can be found apart of the Lancome Matte Shaker Liquid Lipstick collection. The beauty brand wants its consumers to “ban the boring” and utilize more festive tints.

As the orange color trend continues to build momentum Lancome could certainly be on to something. So then, are you bold enough to try this vibrant color this season?

Zendaya Covers Allure Magazine January 2017 Issue

ArianneUpdated on December 13, 2016December 13, 2016Leave a Comment

This just in, Zendaya Covers Allure Magazine January 2017 Issue! From clothing brand launch to cover girl, Zendaya is doing it all this year. Miss Coleman is no stranger to photo shoots, the limelight, launching companies or being a role model for young girls. She speaks her mind confidently and stands up for herself as well as her culture with grace. In the January edition of Allure Zendaya tackles the importance of being yourself even in a fashion sense.

Zendaya Covers Allure Magazine January 2017 Issue

Do you dress according to your mood or go for trends? Does your wardrobe scream that you dance to the beat of your own drum or blend in with the crowd? In Zendaya’s case when it comes to couture she aims to be her herself and wear whatever she desires. Regarding her passion for fashion Zendaya told Allure,

“You can’t let other people determine what you want to wear, how you do your hair, how you live your life. You have to live for yourself and what makes you happy. So that’s why I dress how I dress on red carpets, and I wear a mullet to the Grammys and do what I want. It’s very liberating to just wear something for yourself and because I feel confident and I feel comfortable in it.

But that’s the whole point, you know, is for there to be conversation and talk. If I didn’t dress the way I dress or wear my hair the way I wanted to because people told me that they didn’t like it, I would be boring. And I wouldn’t be on the cover of this magazine, because no one would care. And I would never experiment. And I never would find my confidence. So I would just have a rule that you have to live for yourself and what makes you happy.”

Zendaya Covers Allure Magazine January 2017- Final Thoughts

As they fashion is about self-expression. Therefore, be like Zendaya and always include yourself and personality in your style decisions. If you do you will feel more confident and enjoy every piece purchased as you fill up your closet.

Nevertheless, as you can see in this post, Zendaya looks absolutely stunning in her editorial. The photos were lensed by Jason Kibbler with styling by Patrick Mackie and makeup by Frankie Boyd. Also, that fabulous wet, slick hair was created by hair mastermind Kim Kimble. Yes, homegirl that fries, dyes and lays to the side Queen Bey’s strands. The 2017 January edition of Allure is actually out now for purchase. So then, pick up a copy and happy reading!

The Best Celebrity Winter Hair Colors to Try Now

Arianne Suggs November 29, 2016November 29, 2016Leave a Comment

Celebrities are known to set the trends from beauty to fashion. What colors are they working with this season? From subtle highlights to boisterous tints they have showcased shades that fit just about every personality. Here are The Best Celebrity Winter Hair Colors to Try Now!

The Best Celebrity Winter Hair Colors to Try Now

Chocolate Browns

As Seen on: Joan Smalls and Jasmine Tookes (1st photo)

If you enjoy low maintenance then aim for a Chocolate ombre hair look. Dye jobs fade anyway and this particular look will ebb away gracefully. Plus, chocolate brown is universally flattering on everyone because its not too dark or too light.

Raven Blue

As Seen on: Nicki Minaj

This color is perfect for the cold, winter months. Its moody as well as mysterious yet reads as sleek and extravagant. If you want a no frills, sultry hair color this is the way to go.

Golden Blonde

As Seen On: Blac Chyna

Do blondes have more fun? By the looks of future Mrs. Rob Kardashian we would definitely say so! Winter hair colors do not need to be drab to look amazing. Golden or caramel blonde works well on lighter skin tones. Medium brown to dark skin tones can achieve amazing results with golden/caramel highlights.

The Best Celebrity Winter Hair Colors – For the Bold

Deep Purple

As Seen On: Justine Skye

They don’t call her the Purple Unicorn for nothing. Justine Skye’s signature plum tresses fall nicely right between allurement and calmness. Moreover, purple is the balance of red and blue and denotes royalty. Personality types drawn to this color are usually eccentric, creative and peaceful.

Stark White

As Seen On: Instagram Sensation Bee aka Melvnin

Nothing says winter like white snow so why not white dyed hair? Stark white used to be reserved for comic book and GOT characters. Not anymore, this trend was born out of the gray/platinum craze and looks to have serious staying power.

Blonde Highlights

As Seen On: Ciara and Zendaya

If going full on blonde is not your cup of tea then adding a few well-placed highlights could be the answer. Zendaya and Ciara’s soft highlights are chic and sophisticated. This is how to do color on a very subtle basis.

Winter Hair Colors – Super Sick Shades

Vibrant Red

As Seen On: India Westbrooks

When your career is getting as hot as India’s your hair color should match it! Westbrooks has returned to bold red locks and the result is purely fabulous. Red suits India’s sassy persona as well so if that describes you too consider a rouge tint.

Pastel Pink

As Seen On: Lil’ Mama

This type a color is for the girl that just wants to have fun and party with other fellow unicorns. Roots are kept dark to add contrast as well as depth.

Platinum

As Seen on: Malaysia Pargo

Out of all winter hair colors this one is for the brave. If you enjoy standing out in a crowd platinum is your shade. Leave roots opaque for an even more dramatic effect.

Electric Blue

As Seen On: Monica Brown

Show off your confidence this winter by infusing your strands with strong color only in the front. The differentiation reads business in the back and entertainment in the front. Besides confidence the color blue represents loyalty, wisdom, trust and imagination.

Back in the day patchwork was kind of a big deal. The more pins and patches you could fit on your clothes the better. Girls would flock to stores to get their tiny hands on new patch designs and force their parentals to iron them on ASAP.

Moreover, who doesn’t like something specially tailored for them? Jacobs is filling in the gabs by allowing wearers to look great and infuse their look with quite of bit of fun. By the look of things Jacobs is definitely not missing the Marc on this one (wink, wink).

Karrueche and Marc Jacobs took to social channels to spread the word about Patch Marc. Jacobs said regarding a photo of Tran, “Karrueche at our Patch Marc event today in New York City. Come stop by 113 Prince Street, NYC or 8400 Melrose Place, LA between 6-9PM and customize pieces from our Resort ’17 collection.”

Karrueche showed off her cute denim jacket with the caption, “Designed by own Marc Jacobs Denim today.” Tran’s jacket included lettered patchwork of her initials, hearts and checkered stars.

2016 Black Hair Trend: Sleek Braids

Arianne Suggs April 27, 2016April 27, 2016Leave a Comment

Looking fabulous and growing your hair in 2016 has never been easier! If your hair is your crown of glory all you need to do is indulge in a sleek 2016 black hair trend to look effortlessly stylish. Recently, one major style was spotted on three glamorous starlets: Zendaya, Tika Sumpter and Aja King.

Zendaya, Tika Sumpter and Aja King enjoyed a luncheon together hosted by Zendaya herself and Glamour mag. The dynamic trio all wore the 2016 black hair trend gorgeously and as if they had sent out a memo to each other first! Whether by intention or not all stunning ladies came rocking sleek braids.

In the past braided trends included a looser feel. However, 2016 braids are all about precision. Neat and sleek execution is what’s trending.

Moreover, braids can be tailored and altered to fit various couture looks as well as personal taste flawlessly. We loved the halo crown variations just as much as Zendaya’s cornrows. Nevertheless, if longer hair is your end hair game then this trend is the way to go!

Will this 2016 black hair trend really aid in achieving hair growth? The word “aid” is truly the answer to this popular question. Braids are excellent for hair retention. Your hair is growing at a steady rate but you may not see much growth due to hair damage factors. Hair breakage from styling or split ends for instance can cause strands to become shorter. Thus making tresses seem as though your hair is literally not growing at all.

Braids are a “protective style” because they allow hair to be protected from elements that could cause harm such as too much heat styling with a hot curler. This protection provided by braids allows hair to grow safely while maintaining length. A true win for any girl with Repunzel ambitions.

Confirmation Premiere Fashion Recap

Arianne Suggs April 1, 2016April 1, 2016Leave a Comment

From the first time it aired, ratings soared through the roof for Kerry Washington‘s hit television show Scandal. With so much weekly tea as well as twist and turns viewers could not seem to get enough of the racy show. Recently, Kerry has taken her talents and starred in yet another bewitching storyline for a biopic entitled, Confirmation. Confirmation is the real life story of Anita Hill, a woman who dared to give testimony regarding sexual harassment during the Senate confirmation/nomination hearings of Clarence Thomas. Last night, at the HBO Confirmation premiere several leading ladies of black Hollywood were in attendance.

Lets start with the lady of the hour, Kerry Washington. Washington stunned in a $4k floral frock by Dolce and Gabbana. Moreover, Washington took care of style business right down to the smallest of details. Her mani was in a gorge neutral shade. With such a bold ensemble it was nice to see a more muted nail look that would not compete in a negative way with the rest her look.

Next up, is the gorgeous Gabrielle Union! At the Confirmation premiere Gabby even got the chance to snap a quick photo with Washington on the red carpet. Union sprinkled her own dose of black girl magic with a dress by Marc Jacobs. We absolutely loved Gabrielle and Kerry’s updos for the evening. The face-framing pieces and flowing tendrils of strands gave their hair a very romantic feel.

Not last but very least, let’s talk Zendaya! What did Zendaya adorn herself with for the Confirmation premiere? Coleman slayed in a colorful garment made by designer Rani Zakhem. Her hair also had a romantic flair due to a deep middle part with cascading waves. Can you say perfection?

ALL IN THE DETAILS: Designer Rani Zakhem has dressed several over starlets you would know including songstress Kelly Rowland.

Streetstyle: Suno Dress Worn By Zendaya Coleman

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 25, 2016February 25, 2016Leave a Comment

Zendaya Coleman has had yet another major week of work. Her CHI Haircare ad campaign was released showcasing just how real her beauty is and then some. CHI Haircare held an event for the release of the campaign that included their stunning spokeswoman. Zendaya was styled to perfection in a design by Suno.

We always love seeing Zendaya in color because we feel bright tints look great with her skin tone. We spotted Zendaya taking her fun look to the streets. The gown displays a very small amount of skin giving it a hint of sass. Coleman completed her ensemble with black boot heels and a leather jacket.

Suno Designer Dress

Zendaya’s use of jewelry was very minimalist. When wearing an outfit that is bold there really is no need overpower the look with unnecessary jewels. Accessories and couture should never compete, only compliment each other.

Hair Notes: Being the front lady of a major hair company it is no surprise that her tresses looked so fabulous! Coleman rocked curls for days with her Suno dress.

CHI Haircare Real Is Beautiful Campaign With Zendaya

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 24, 2016February 24, 2016Leave a Comment

Chi Haircare has just released a new ad campaign featuring one our faves Zendaya Coleman! The campaign aims to help girls to embrace their real individual beauty. As part of the #RealIsBeautiful campaign Zendaya shares her style and beauty tips. Zendaya makes a wonderful spokeswoman for the CHI Haircare brand since she does always keep it 100.

Just how real does Zendaya keep it? Well, in the past she stood up to remarks made in regards to her wearing dreads at a red carpet event. The result? Recanting of statements made and Zendaya heralded in the form of a Barbie doll, dreads and all. Coleman’s outspokenness to be comfortable and confident in your own skin has resonated with young girls the world over.

CHI Haircare is added fuel to the inspiration fire by supporting realism. The brand’s Gram profile even mentions that they just don’t want your hair to look beautiful, they want you to feel beautiful too. What a nice thought!

We are huge fans of CHI Haircare products and own several of their flat irons and hair protectant products. Moreover, we are happy to see this partnership between Zendaya and CHI and can’t wait to see what’s all in store. Check out the campaign girls, the photos are stunning!

Aurora James of Brother Veillies Proves Dreams Do Come True

Arianne SuggsUpdated on November 6, 2015November 6, 2015Leave a Comment

Disney has ingrained in our minds from an early age that when we wish upon a star dreams do come true. However, anyone that has ever reached the level of success that they have long thought about knows that it is a little more involved than just peering up at the night sky. We can all wish for something to happen, but in reality if we want said wish to come true there is much work involved.

This week handcrafted shoe designer Aurora James was bestowed with the honor of being the recipient of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund. This fund was founded in order to give support to emerging American fashion talents. Three prizes are rewarded to three selected designers in order to aid them in going next level. Two runner-ups receive $150,000 while an overall talent winner receives $400,000.

The designers also receive vital mentorship by already established industry executives as well as designers. If you want to be successful it is always good to be in a circle of other successful people. As the saying goes, “If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.” True growth involves being humble to realize you do not know everything and being chill enough to go ask for the help you do need. Aurora no doubt understands the importance of having a great support system and revealed her feelings about her big win by saying,

“Babies we made it! I will never be able to accurately express how much this means to me. Thank you so much to everyone who has stuck by me and supported me with Brother Veillies these past few years! And biggest thank you to Vogue Magazine CFDA and all the judges for taking a walk on the wild side with me!

So incredibly humbled and excited to be a recipient of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund. This win means so much to us and everyone on the ground in Africa that have dreamed this golden dream with us.”

Zendaya Wears Brother Veillies

The shoewear that Aurora James creates is definitely boisterous in design and style. Nevertheless, fashion is about displaying personality and expressing yourself in a fun, fresh way everyday. Zendaya Coleman was Aurora’s date for the night and was adorned with the designer’s fur trimmed sandal heels. Zendaya shared a few words about James stating,

“So happy for this amazing woman, Aurora James, something she said last night was so real, she said so often the fashion industry is inspired by Africa but never gives back to it. The fact that you are able to refurbish scraps of materials dumped into South Africa, the fact that you give women there a chance to use their skills, giving them jobs and actually allow them to create an income for themselves and their families is so empowering. This is the only fur exception I’ve ever made because it’s refurbished and being made with respect, resourcefulness, and purpose. Thanks for all you do and I wish you continued success.”

Aurora James is definitely shaking up the fashion game one small step at a time. Zendaya was not the only one to give glowing remarks in regards to James’ design aesthetic. Designer and hip hop mogul Kanye West also had a few words about Aurora’s collection. Kanye commented,

“When I saw fur shoes, I knew I was in the right place.”

Yes, Aurora James is setting the bar and solidifying trends with grace and allure. The fashion industry has long had a dark shadow cast on it due to its lack of diversity. Nevertheless, as more women like Aurora James chase down their shooting stars it makes it just a little easier and opens up the door of opportunity for other women of color to follow in her lead. Congratulations once more Aurora and we know you are going to go far.
