Last '09 entry. WHAT TO WEAR ON NYE !

I can't tell if I can not fall asleep from one to many hot green teas or the fact that this year is ending, and 2010 is the new millennium ! All I know is New Years Eve is tomorrow..technically today on account that its already 4 AM.

New Years attire for the ladies: FLASHY please!
You don't have to bedazzle yourself with tons of sequin and big rocks. You can play up and down an outfit.

- Plain black dress

• A belt that stands out
• Sequined beret or headband (without the belt)
• Simple jewelery (earrings and rings)
• Platforms or heels
  
• OR Sheer lace tights
  

-Sequin

• If you wear a sequined dress, play it down with simple shoes, hair pulled back, and studded earrings. NO BIG JEWELERY
  
• Sequined leggings require a simple top that shows off your arms, a shirt with some skin! and pumps.
• Sequin mini skirts or shorts look adorable with a plain top, pantyhose, and boots.
  
• Any hair sequined hair accessory can be worn with a vest or a simple outfit, with high shoes or comfy boots.
  

-Jackets

• Leather jackets, blazers, military jackets, and even coats (depending where you are) would look stunning on NYE. Wearing any sort of jacket will make heads turn, especially when taking it off with an even flattering outfit underneath it! (I wouldn't wear a military jacket with a flashy dress, that's too much! )
  

-MAKEUP LOOKS (one or the other)

• Sparkly eyes (Urban Decay)
  
• Smokey eyes (Mac or Stila)
  
• False Lashes (Make Up For Ever)
  
• Tons of mascara and some gloss (Dior & Lancome)
  
• A dramatic cat eye (Chanel)
  
• A not so dramatic cat eye with red or dark pink lips (YSL)
  

If you don't wear much makeup, don't be scared to push the envelope on NYE !

HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR !! HOPE THIS HELPED !

Happy Holidays!

Holidays - Giving and getting is how I like to define it. Giving and getting can mean anything from the company of your family to receiving or giving luxury items ! I got some lovely presents this year :)

My twin sister got me the best of them all. A Michael Kors watch, the Ed Hardy perfume set, and a bag of candy (everyone knows I have a bigger sweet tooth then a little child)

I was honestly not expecting anything this year. Oh how I wish I went to NYC for my winter break, there is always next year!

Anyways..
My mom got me a facial and a massage package, which was lovely.
My grandparents gave me some cash which is always set aside for my makeup kit. I bought new eyelashes, liners, wipes, wands, and more for my kit.

What did you get?

Rihanna - "Hard"

Not gonna lie, our girl Rihanna is looking good. From a nudey photo on the cover of GQ magazine to her "Hard" music video. She is blowing up ! Her outfits are insane in the video, are celebrities trying to out-due Lady GaGa ?

Rihanna - New Music - More Music Videos

From a makeup artists perspective

So I have been watching Fashion Tv on youtube and came across this LANVIL backstage hair and makeup video. Critiquing is what I do; as fabulous as this video seems the eye makeup look seemed a bit sloppy. As I observed the video I noticed each artists different method in using a wet black flash drive color. Thank goodness for Q-tips to correct any messes, what do you think of the video?

Rock N Roll, topless style

I noticed the new look in ads now are rock n roll tutus and topless models. Funny that I am seeing this..the shoot that I worked on with Julious G was the same look as some ads I've seen for example V Magazine.

Are these ads Hot or Not? My vote HOT !

Makeup Tutorials

I can tell you one thing, I can sit on youtube and find the most fascinating makeup tutorials, and account pixiwoo is my absolute favorite youtube tutorial to watch.

Check out this Dior 1920's look for The House of Dior 2010 look.




I want to do a shoot like this very soon!


I'm thinking about starting to make tutorials, what do you think?

Art Basel 2009

I went to the Art Basel on Saturday and was amazed with most of the art I saw.
My favorite pieces were the colorful ones, on the other hand.. I saw some "art" that was not thrilling to me. It seems like some artists feel its okay to put something up that to others look like nothing. I feel like I can give a little child a canvas and paint and think it's the most genius thing out there.

Check out the awesome photos of what I liked!










CHANEL & ARMANI photos, I want them!!



A few drinks and friends, and we called this a night. I felt like a total Sex and the City gal.

Shoot with Julius Gregorio

I went to Tye Studios today and met up with photographer Julius Gregorio, SkinnyInters Kristin Ondocsin, our German model Zita and a wonderful stylist. I worked a few looks with Zita, starting very natural and ending with a rockstar black wet eye look.

First look: Natural, clean skin, mascara, nude lips.
Second look: Light gold eyes, no liner, mascara, purple lip, and heavier cheeks.
Third: Copper/Brown smokey eye, Brown liner, peach cheeks, and nude lips.
Fourth: Black shadow and liner, same face makeup and more contour.
Fifth: Black eyes with Vaseline for a shiny wet eye look.

As far as wardrobe Zita was topless practically the entire time with her hair flowing!
She did have a few outfit changes, which made the shoot.

We all busted our chops working this today, these photos are going to rock!
