My All Time Favorite Looks Then and Now

Hey you! Nice to see you again. So I wanted to share with you some of my all time favorite Makeup Looks and styles. I love mixing old with the new, so most times I will take a retro look and give it a modern spin to keep it up to date. 

50's Makeup "Classic Beauty"

This is probably one of the most loved looks of all time. This look is so timeless and classic, everyone can pull this look off. Women in this time were so classy and sophisticated that whenever I recreate this look I feel very womanly and strong. My favorite actress of this time was Elizabeth Taylor. She is drop dead gorgeous!!! I love her strong brows, flushed cheeks, and red lips. When I recreate this look I like to keep it simple and focus on a nice defined brow, perfect black liner, and beautiful matte red lips. Here is a video of me recreating this look ==> 50's, Pin Up, Dita Von Teese MakeUp Tutorial The Celebrity that does this look very well in our times is Dita Von Teese. 

Dita sticks to the classic 50's look but with her own gothic twist. Notice how her skin is porceline white with no blush. I like that she made it her own and redefined it for herself.

60's Makeup "The Doll Eyes Look" 

I love how this look is all about the eyes and lashes. Twiggy was one of this era's style icons. I love how her eyes look so big giving her the appearance of a doll. You can't really see it in this photo but it was also about thick eyeliner and a cut crease. A cut crease just means that the crease of the eye is overly defined. I love recreating this look by using a softer hand and not as dramatic. A celebrity that does this look very well nowadays is the singer Adele. I love her makeup it always looks so beautiful. If you would like to see a makeup tutorial on Adele...here you go =D ==> Adele Look Using Only Sonia Kashuk

Adele has a modern 60's look that I love. Look how chic and sultry she looks. 

Egyptian Inspired Makeup "The Cat Eye Look"

 Ok this look is just awesome! There is something so mysterious and sexy about a cat eye that I love. More often than not I can't resist to wing out my eyeliner just a little more than I have to. My favorite product to use to achieve this look is the Sonia Kashuk dramatically defining long wear eyeliner. It is so black and long lasting! What is also important about this look is the strong defined brows which I also love. Many celebrities today recreate this dramatic winged out eyeliner but my favorite of course has to be the beautiful Angelina Jolie. Now that I'm typing this I realize that I don't have a video recreating Angies look. I'm going to have to get on top of that!!! I do however have a video recreating Beyonce's look in her "Why don't you love me" music video. Which is a dramatic cat eye look. Check it out ==> Beyonce "Why Dont You Love Me" MakeUp Tutorial

Angelina is known for her sultry cat eye look. I love her look, it is perfect for the beautiful eye shape that she has. Well she is also my girl crush...haha 

This is a still of the Beyonce's look that I mentioned earlier if you were curious =D I also loved this look very much...it's so dramatic. 

So there you have it. These are my favorite looks. Tell me about yours!!! Hope you liked this and found it helpful. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to talk to you soon!

My Top 5 Must Haves From the Sonia Kashuk Line!

If you know me personally or watch my YouTube videos then you know my favorite brand is Sonia Kashuk! Which is exclusively sold at the wonderful Target! One of my favorite places to shop by the way. So just a heads up I'm going to be mentioning her a lot in my blog =) I probably own every single piece from her collection ( Literally) You can see my entire makeup collection and how I organize it in this link ==> How I Organize My MakeUp (Updated) Why do I love this brand so much you might ask? 1...It's sold at Target! I can go to the Sonia Kashuk section while I do my regular shopping and I don't have to go to the Mall or fancy store. 2...It is quality makeup and products at affordable prices (many of her cosmetics and brushes have won many awards) 3. Her products are cruelty free! Who doesn't love that? Ok so I know that when you walk up to her display at Target it can be overwhelming, so I picked my top five must have products that you can try. Hopefully you will love them as much as I do!

The Eye on Neutral Palette 

This Palette is awesome for creating everyday looks and you can also create more dramatic smokey looks for evenings. An extra bonus to this palette is that it comes with 3 Looks with step by step instructions to help you get started. You don't have to use this palette by itself either you can use it to warm up different looks with color eyeshadows. What I really like about this palette is that all the shadows are matte which is very rare but very versatile in creating different looks. If you want to see me achieve the 3 looks to this palette, check out this video =) ==> Sonia Kashuk Eye on Neutral Palette All 3 Looks

Dramatically Defining Long Wear Gel Liner

When I just started to wear makeup I used eyeliner pencil, then I graduated to liquid liner, but then when I found this! I was absolutely in love. Gel liner is so awesome because it gives you a more defined line as appose to a pencil and easier to apply than liquid liner. It is long lasting and can also be applied to your waterline. You apply it with a brush (which is sold separately) so it's like you literally paint it on! The pigmentation is great! You will always get a really dark, sharp line when you use this.

Lashify Mascara

I have to admit when I first used this mascara I didn't like it. I was used to formulas that were really thick and wet. I gave it another chance and I'm glad that I did because now I can't stop using it. It gives my lashes volume and length without making them look hard and stiff. I like that the formula is a little more on the dry side because I can apply several coats without my lashes looking like spider legs. The end result is my lashes look feathery and whispy and more like my natural lashes just really enhanced. Did I mention that it also comes with a lash comb in the handle!!! Genius! 

Brow Definer in Taupe

OMG!!! I love this color...ok I've had blue hair before ( I mean my entire head! not streaks) and I still used this pencil. I love how it blends so well into my natural hairs. Brows are so important for your overall look...I can not stress that enough. When you have full, filled, nicely groomed eyebrows it can make you look more youthful and put together. If you have red tones in your hair, then I would suggest you try the color Haze. Also when you fill in your brow it is good to have a clean spoolie on hand to brush through your brows after application, to blur out any harsh lines. Making the end result a more natural appearance.

Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette

This palette comes with three shades of concealer and powder to set. I love this concealer because it comes with a neutralizer that is good for the red area around my nose. I especially love to apply it with the Sonia Kashuk Synthetic Pointed Foundation Brush. When I use this brush it just melts into my skin and feathers out so perfectly that I can wear only concealer and no one would notice. This concealer palette is perfect for the go and the formula is great. It is not too pasty or dry...it is a perfect creamy consistency that is long lasting. 

Well these are my must haves! I hope this was helpful to some of you that were interested in something new. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to talk to you soon!
