Life is one big PRISM!

R.O.Y.G.B.I.V!!
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue,Indigo ,Violet!!!
It you think of the way we describe certain emotions (seeing red, feeling blue, green with envy), there’s no denying that color and mood are inextricably linked. Pop open a sunny yellow umbrella on a gloomy day and some of that sunniness will undoubtedly rub off on you.
There are several reasons why colors are able to influence how we feel. "We react on multiple levels of association with colors -- there are social or culture levels as well as personal relationships with particular colors," explains Leslie Harrington, executive director of The Color Association of The United States, which forecasts color trends.
Can you believe colors have trends? Personally, if I had a choice I would cover myself in colors constantly. Sprinkled with a tad glitter and I can die a happy woman.
What is your favorite shade? How loud will you allow your personality?

Día de los Muertos ❤

Day of the Dead otherwise known as Día de los Muertos in Spanish. I often questioned the meaning of these creative passion painted skulls. This is a holiday often celebrated in Mexico and Latin America. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died.Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed and visiting graves with these as gifts. They also leave possessions of the deceased.
Sugar skulls being a treat that is made to look of skulls, with tasty colorful accents. Día de los Muertos is celebrated Oct. 31st thru Nov. 2nd.
Now-a-days this is a very popular look for Halloween.
Could this possibly be your costume this year?

Stack my Locks..

Fall 2012 is coming out with familiar hairstyles. Style always repeats itself and their is no deny this retro bouffant. What is s bouffant you ask? The definition says: a bouffant is a type of hairstyle characterized by hair piled high on the head and hanging down on the sides.
Originated in the late 50's then exploded into the Mod 60's.
Fall runways were full of all kinds of time machine looks.
Will you rock a bouffant this Fall?
I love to break out a Amy Winehouse Beehive.

Dramatic Red Lips

Red... Red wine. Red lips has been a fashion statement for centuries. From lip stains to vibrant Red lipstick even the greatest icons have often colored their pouts with blood red. This Fall it's on a huge rise... Instead of breaking it down into the blue-reds or orange-reds, this is true red. Many runways used dark lip liners to enhance the vamp look.
How do you apply red lipstick perfectly?
Red lipstick tends to bleed, so fill in lips with lip liner first.
Apply lipstick. This is the most important part and it's very important that you apply correctly. This is where the lipstick applier (looks like a brush) comes in. You don't have to use it, but it helps you stay inside the line from the lipliner. If so, apply in a thin layer but enough to where there's no "nude" areas. If you're going to just use the stick of lipstick, apply in a thin layer. MAKE SURE TO GET THE INNER CORNERS! It's easy to see the inner corners of your mouth when you talk and nothing looks worse than having bold red lips and having white corners. Blot, and then apply a second layer to ensure that color stays for a long period of time.

The key is always to blot and reapply, it total helps with the longevity.

Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick. !!!!

Which shade of red lipstick can you just not live without?

Red Delight

"The right red [lipstick] will light up your hair, eyes and skin immediately, the wrong one will not.”
Wise words I thought I would share.

Red is taking over everywhere.
Just not on the eyes ladies...red eyeshadow is a no-no!! Gives you a pink eye look, not very attractive.

I recently saw the Louboutin nail design on Pinterest. My many lost hours have been devoted looking for endless inspiration from the little colorful boxes. But, the Louboutin nails are a must share. Totally dig the idea!!
Did you know Louboutin originally started his idea to paint the bottom of his heels red after a fellow employees nail polish caught his attention. Christian gracefully coated the bottom of a sample heel and from that day forth Louboutin's would rock cherry red bottoms. By chance, have you seen his latest pair of heels were inspired by Disney's rerelease of Cinderella? Not only do these beautiful glass slippers scream "classy" but they are complete must haves! I, personally would not wear them but, rather display those beauties on a dazzling shelf. Awe..one day!!
Photos are below

Absolutely, adore the concept of painting the inner nail red!
Bellissimo!!!!

Mad woman moments...Inspired.

In one day the I find the oddest things that inspire me. I can think of millions of concepts off of these photos.
What to do?
What to do?

Inside of a mad mind...

Lately I have been thinking about alot of different avenues to take my artistic ways.
I've been so inspired by photos!!!!
These ideas are haunting me...
Seems very high fashion to me...a makeup book? A session? What oh what to do with this (wink wink)

To paint or to not paint that is the question?

Question of the day..

Do toenails and fingernail polish have to match?

Some people are very adamant about both shades being the same. Personally, I will have cheetah print fingernails and green zebra print toe nails. I have also placed a different shade to every nail, but I love standing out!
So, I'm curious to know ladies how do you feel about this? Men what do you think?? Does all one shade on both show fashion? Loads of designs is it sometimes too much?

Can't wait to hear your opinions :)

Snap..Crackle...Pop!!!

Pop Art in the makeup world has come and gone through a few trends. Makeup is always fun to recreate, the looks one person can truly come up with is endless, specially with all the neons and prints that remind us of the late 80's!! Fashion always repeats itself!

I loved this look I found originally from the photographer Shannon Brooke. It was eye-catching! MAC also brought this look to there potential artists.
I put my own twist on this:)
Enjoy!

I break rules

Makeup is taking different twist and turns as time passes. New York Fashion week showcased matte lipstick and bolder brows. Orange lips is really on the rise, it goes great with majority of skin tones.
What I am finding to be extremely interested in is just solid eyeshadows and bold eyeliner. Easy look to recreate and matches with everything. It can be transformed into your daytime look with a nice nude lip or spice it up for the night. Simply paint your voluminous lips red and POW!!! Your a true knockout. Plus red lipsticks make your teeth look whiter...awesome right?
Makeup truly has no rules a lot is common sense. If you want to make your eyes your main focus then nude lips and gloss is a must. Bold lips always go with a neutral eye look.
Being as flamboyant as I am I tend to break the rules a bit. I hope you all enjoyed a little insight, got questions?
