Makeup: Burger King Now Offers Makeup Artists in Drive-Thru

No we are just kidding, but this is a funny ad campaign from Burger King Netherlands. I'm guessing the other eye is a small fry.

Makeup: Miu Miu S/S 2012


I love Avant Garde, couture makeup. An art major myself I just love color applied anywhere aesthetically. Here we have a bold, single-color red eyeshadow dusted just below the brow bone. If you can't handle the smokey eye, try this look out

Makeup: Lipstick Comes In Other Colors Besides Shades of Red

You don't have to wear lipstick thats just a shade of red. 
Here are two fab girls who have executed colorful lips. 
I could see this trend being done when you need color in a hurry and no time to do a full on 'smokey-eye-something'.

Here are just some of the many looks of Corrie that I love. 

She is one of the most creative hair and makeup artists I know personally. Her personality is bright just as bright as her current hair color.

Makeup: Does Anyone Really Look Good In Black Lips

Lady Gaga In 'Telephone'

We see this look occasionally but never has it been picked up by the masses. Why not? I don't think any skin tone out there can support such a dark lip. Our lips are naturally pink and flush for a reason. 

Is black lipstick only good at Halloween time?

My Halloween Experimentation



Tried out some new makeup for my eyes today for Halloween. I had the urge to try gorgeous, thick and dramatic lashes. The lashes are from the Sephora collection so the price of $8 was not bad at all. I put the link below.

The eyeshadow is made by Revlon from the "Perle" collection; only $6.00

Makeup: Eva Marcille

The heavy liquid eyeliner on the upper lid gives her a sexy, big-eyed, Sailor Moon look. There is nothing wrong with accentuating the eyes to make them larger especially when the rest of your makeup is light.

Day 32: Halloween Makeup Attempt

Today I had to go to work on Halloween. Isn't that fortunate? On the flip side my job [Starbucks] allowed us to dress up though! I wasn't going to go out and buy an actual costume for work though. I do not have the money to be doing unnecessary splurges. So my co-worker told me I should be an "Emo Barista" lol. It sounded do-able when her and I were talking; I had all the need accessories. All I had to get was some cheap eyeliner from Walgreens.

How does it look? When I did my eye makeup I had the look in my head, I just don't think it played well on my face.

Spotlight: Tastee cosmetics

Tell me why [dressed] readers and all of Charlotte need Tastee Cosmetics in there makeup bags or kept desks or bookbags? Jami–> It truly is a GREAT brand! It’s good for you and good to you, meaning that not only is made with healthy ingredients but, it makes your lips soft & delicious everytime. We all love products that work!

Now that you have launched your new business venture of your organic and all natural lip balms and lipglosses, what is next for Tastee that you see fit for in the future? OMG! I see alot… of course I’d like to expand our product line offering a variety of colors in balms, glosses, lip tints, etc. Just be a guru of lip products. When you hear Tastee Cosmetics you think wow awesome lip stuff!

I know you say that your niche is doing makeup because you get empowered by bringing out women’s natural beauty, but with Tastee Cosmetics now launched, do you still currently work professionally as a makeup artist? If so, when Tastee grows and becomes national, will Tastee be the main focus of interest? They are clients of mine that I will always do makeup for… of course as Tastee grows I won’t be in the studio as much. I’ll just have to pray for a good balance and hope I don’t pull my hair out…

I’m really excited about Tastee and the big things that are sure to come out of it. I love the fact that you donate 10% of you made purchases to Cancer Research. More small businesses need to follow in your footsteps. But what would you like to say to other small business working the corporate ladder who are discouraged by the economy, family issues, self-doubt? Keep at it! Some days I ask my family am I nuts for starting a business right now, but you don’t know until you try. (I know that’s cliche) but true. I don’t wanna be 60 years old wondering “what if” Can’t win the race if you don’t show up!?

Product Review: Tinted Brow Gel



If you have never heard of it, it is a great necessity for every make-up bag! [for both men and women]. What is it you ask? It looks like a mascara, but it is meant specifically for your sparse and wild brows. It helps keep them 'kept' during the day as well as add some color to them. Everyone's brows need to color to keep the looking full and defined. I like it especially because it is natural in appearance and no one can tell your wearing it. 

I was introduced to it when I went to Ulta for the first time. I told the associate my problems I was having with trying to fill in my brows and keep them looking like I wasn't wearing anything on my face. 

I was not even going to put a 'before' picture up here because that will scare people and give them nightmares. So I just wanted to say that my brows are nobody's cute at ALL LOl. Just trust me and know that this can help you if suffer the problems that I have. Brow gel is very cheap and you can get it just about anywhere and in many shades.
