MODERN BOLD PINK MAKEUP – How to Wear the New Fantasy Makeup

Pink makeup used to be solely for blush or lips but everyone’s favorite color is having a true beauty moment, more bold than demure.  Top makeup artists are using pink hues in unexpected ways from graphic eyeliner, to highlighting, to highly pigmented shades applied with a heavy hand. 

The chief difference is that it isn’t blended into a sheer wash to enhance the complexion, but to be a stand-alone color that has a 3-D quality.  Throw out the rulebook and mix various pink tones together and play with mixing matte and more luminous finishes together. 

Apply the color boldly where it breaks traditional beauty rules, and think more “hot house flower” than “pink peony”.  This is not your mother’s pale pink makeup.  Color outside the lines and be bold.  Adding a little fantasy to your beauty look is fresh, and very now.

The Breakout Models of the Spring / Summer 2018 Fashion Weeks Season

The exhausting, exhilarating, frenetic, inspiring month of Spring / Summer 2018 fashion weeks is done.  Reviews are in and orders placed.  Editors are holding the pieces they hope to include in upcoming editorials, and designers have already begun their Fall / Winter collections. The designers and celebrities are not the only stars of the past month.  A crop of standout models, many in their first show season, has captured the eyes of fashion and beauty brands, editors and photographers.  Creating buzz on a noisy stage is difficult at best, so kudos these women who managed to enchant, intrigue, and make a memorable impression – no easy feat when nearly all the models in a particular show wear the same hair and makeup. 

Sometimes it is a fresh haircut, a quirky look, a powerful walk, or an incredible body that sets a model apart.  It is a particularly good period in the industry for models who are different, as the pendulum slowly swings away from the “clone” models of the last decade.  With the emergence of social media influencers, celebrity offspring, and street style models appearing on runways and in campaigns, the cult of personality is gradually making its way back into the fashion and beauty industries. 

We hope this means less of a “disposable” model career timeline where young teens have one amazing season and then disappear.  Let them grow up and evolve and be real contributors in a more meaningful way to brands.  We are rooting for these models and we can’t wait to see them in prestigious editorials, fronting the best magazines, and on many future runways.

Breast Cancer Awareness: THE POWER OF PINK

The Power of Pink reigns every October as Breast Cancer Awareness month kicks off to support those battling the disease and to fund research in the race for the cure.  One in eight women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime, affecting not only the woman’s life, but the lives of her family, her friends, and her community.  We each owe it to ourselves to be educated about risk factors, to get regular breast exams, to support those who are suffering from the disease, and help to fund those researching treatments and the cure.

An easy way to contribute in the fight against breast cancer is to use your buying power to purchase products that raise funds for the many organizations and foundations that rely on donations.  The beauty shelves are filled with special editions, collections, and enticing products from brands who have committed between 20% to 100% of their proceeds to various foundations and organizations. Shop these amazing beauty treats and many more by looking for the Pink Ribbon symbol and show your support for these amazing breast cancer warriors.
