Sultry Silver Smoky Eyes

After a sultry dressed Halloween evening, I felt as though I should include a little touch of the same look into my day this morning. Nothing too out there, just a subtle hint through some dramatic eyes in my makeup.

And so I played with my make up to do a classic look with a silver glow. A nice touch of eyeliner to elongate the eyes and really make them pop combined with the classic smoky eye make up- only with more of a silver presence to make the look all the more dramatic and glamorous.

My lashes are pretty long to begin with naturally, but when you add the Le 2 Mascara from Guerlain it maximizes the volume and length like nothing else (I love it).

It is more about the silver faded into the hint of dark gray that collects at the ends of the eyes- one side with a fine eyeliner and the other with the rich smoky finish.

The finished look is simple but quite bold- a little can go a long way. It doesn’t take long to do but the results last the entire day and feel flawless. This is a fun look to do and a great way to get excited about the day.

I did mine with silver and gray colors- however if you’re looking for even more, go for the gold. Use a nice bronze or gold and mix it into a darker shade of brown- definitely rich and glamorous as well. Even a dark purple could prove to be royal and luxurious.

Play around and make it your own, simple is key as a little goes a long way. Its the details that count.

Runway Fashion Eyes Look

So on the subject of things that are girly and looking like a doll, I recall this fashion show for Orangia I had done with some of the prettiest make up.

Not for day to day wear, but something to take inspiration from and play with. I adored this look on the runway (all the girls had the same make up for this show, hair varied but all were variations in curls).

I like the constancy in make up and hair (theme) in shows, it makes for a nice complete look.

Big and bold eye make up is what stood out in this show, the cheeks and lips a bright bold pink. Very cute and very fun. I like to do the same in a more natural feel- the light pink worn normally with some black bold eyeliner that flairs at the eye’s end.

Its a fun and very girly look. I think much can be done with it. Oh that night, sooooo much champagne with cherries after the show was done. So yummy, so tired, lol. It took me a little while to wash my face once I was home.

Anyway, I love the look and it can be toned down to an off the runway wearable look for sure. Much love.

Because Sometimes You Want A Splash Of Color

Sometimes a little color is in order- you just feel like it perhaps. I know I can get that way from time to time, especially when wearing black or neutral colors. Brings out a different attitude and above all is quite fun.

So a while back I had done this photo shoot and really enjoyed the make up when all was said and done. Here is a glance to your right of what it was. Simple little touch and great color- I loved it. It inspired me to bring it into my style.

Also, I like to wear my hair in pigtails from time to time, lol. I think it is cute and a nice touch with the right style.

So here I did my own little touch from the inspiration of the shoot, and dressed it up with a bold hot pink lipstick. Very daring and very bold all together, but fun for that every once in a while thrill.

The eyes with the color alone I think can be worn in any way you wish to- cute, daring, elegant, etcetera, you name it.

Blue is right there with black on elegance, especially the darker shades. Blue mascara can be a fun touch, and the darker and richer the more subtle and curious appeal.

Make Me Up In Golden Beauty

I am feeling a bit gold today, it is such a radiant and rich look. Doesn’t take too much which is nice- subtle touches of the right hues in the right places is all.

I had been in a lingerie fashion show where the theme was wild animals. I was assigned the leopard (much to my pleasing) and simply loved the make up Morgan, the make up artist, had created.

Above and beside are photos of her work (it was a late show and some champagne and enjoying the evening afterwards makes one a bit tired- even so I think the make up held up quite alright).

Anyway, remembering this look, I allowed it to inspire one of my own. Though the side bronze is quite beautiful and great for show- it is a bit much for day to day.

So Instead I thought to make it softer with some bronzed gold coloring just covering the lids and underlining below. Gives it a bit of a bold pop- but then a soft finish so it works for the day.

For the lips I used a favorite of mine- a gold lipstick that is slightly sheer and more than anything gives a complimenting golden shimmer to the natural lip color. The make-up I use is Guerlain, they have some wonderful bronzes and golds that work beautifully together.

I love a little gold indulgence. Much love.

Style It Up Or Wave It Down

Hair with attitude and a statement bold and wild or delicate and chic. If you have Medium to Long hair there is no excuse to not have a little fun. Rut never more if ever you were in one-the girls with the short hair can make it look so easy to come up with a spunky or classy style; its time to take notice of your own.

Never be afraid to experiment a little here and there. Maybe you don’t know what your doing when you go into it, but that doesn’t mean the results can’t be amazing. Some of my best creations were purely accidental messing around.

Rock it or keep it in simple sophistication- do something to make it extra special. And don’t stop there, you can do so much more with it down, too.

Straighten it for a sleek shine or curl it half way up for some soft natural waves. Let your hair guide you as it naturally is, if not even inspire you. I have found that sometimes after having my hair up for a day, putting it down it will naturally fall into these perfect waves and curls. From one style right into another- perhaps from day into evening or from one day to another.

The classics are constantly reinventing themselves into new and exciting forms. Many of the time thanks to make up as seen in the fashion shows. Quite dramatic and perhaps not for actual wear, take them as creative influences to create a style you can use for yourself.

Its a great excuse if anything to give more time to yourself and really enjoy it. Pamper yourself, maybe set up a warm bath to follow. Create new styles to use for the rest of the week and upcoming events. There are no limits.

Above all have fun and and love your look.

Skin in a Natural Radiant Glow

For healthy beautiful and radiant skin it comes to only the best for me. Ingredients are important, and often times price does not determine the quality.

Orlane Paris does the wonders I have always dreamed of in a product. Particularly their youth and anti-age creams for the visage. It only requires a little to coat a layer of silk on your face, and instantly you and your skin are refreshed.

It is the perfect amount of moisture and nourishment needed. It is an absolute luxury the way it makes you feel as well.

All of their products are lovely, but I must admit I limit myself to the Creme-Legere or Creme De Jeunesse currently. I have used their anti-age for the eyes as well and find it marvelous. I may have to explore further into their lotions for the body (I can only imagine how much more radiant it will make the skin). For now, the Light Cream is exactly that- weightless and makes my skin flawless.

Once I do look into the body products, I will give you the results.

For the time being; give into a little luxury for yourself and keep in mind only the best. After all, your skin lasts you your lifetime- best keep it beautiful and healthy.

Lovely So Lovely Lashes

With this mascara on alone, I feel like a beautiful doll and so thankful for it.

As loyal and happy as Guerlain has always kept me, nothing compares to the outstanding results achieved from the le 2 Guerlain Mascara -magnificently luxurious. One simple brush does more than anything I have ever seen or used in my career even as a model, and adding coats emphasizes even more. The two brushes are brilliantly crafted to apply with such ease it is insane. Nothing was overlooked.

I am an addict for most anything Guerlain, they’ve never lead me wrong. I admit I have more besides their name in my collection, and mascara is one item I have always traveled around with- from Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, to Givenchy. I never found one that had such an instant wow factor until now, and I cannot tell you how satisfying it is. I feel like a beautiful doll now with nothing but mascara on. My lashes are so clean and pronounced in volume and length.

It is a beauty must- must for anyone.
