Quick Summer Make-Up...

I think I may have shared this with you lovies in a previous post, but I thought it'd be worth my while to share it again. I mean, you can NEVER have too many fashion and beauty reminders, right? So yeah, here's a make-up quickie you'll definitely want to try.

It's pretty warm out, or at least it is where I live and if there's one thing I don't really care to do is where make-up in the heat of the day. Unfortunately, as a freelance make-up artist I can't run around town looking like who did what and why so I have to come up with some quick fixes. My latest quick fix has been wearing minimal foundation and doing one sweep of color on my eyes, checks and lips. The easiest and lightest way to get this done is to use colored eyeliner on your eyes. One sweep of color will work wonders! Take a look at the trend TONS of celebrities are rocking this summer. It's not hard, it's easy to do...so don't be scurrrrreeeeddd...give it a whirl. I promise you'll be glad you did.

If you're a little unsure of how to achieve the look, don't fret! I'll post a photo tutorial.

Ciao lovies and see ya at the TOP!

Nia Long with a sweep of purple on the lower lashline...the purple really brings out her brown eyes and I LOVE the nude lips. Leona Lewis is rocking a green liner on her lower lashline with a fierce pink lip...LOVES IT!

My girl Solange...Solo-Star...Fashionista...This H-Town beauty is rocking a green liner on the lower lashline and a golden yellow color on the inner corners of her eye...LOVE this look and it's soooo EASY!

Garcelle has opted to use black liner on the tops and bottom of eyes and to give a more dramatic effect it appears as though she's smudged it for a Imperfect Perfect look. LOVES IT!



My Girl Jill, Love the blue/green liner on the lower lashline with a light smoky touch in the corner. As far as I'm concerned Ms. Scott can do no wrong. PS: Check out that flawless skin...Can we say, JELLY?! BTW, Jelly is short for JEALOUS...for those of you that might not have known. :)



Hello and Good Morning...

Good Morning Lovies!

I generally do not post music videos to the blog unless they directly correlate to some randomness I'm talking about, but today y'all...it's a different day. I was perusing the web the other day and I came across Jill Scott's newest music video from her latest album, Light of the Sun, which I ABSOLUTELY LOVE and I couldn't help but post this video for your viewing pleasure. SN: The previous sentence was the ULTIMATE run-on, but I just had to get my point across with as little punctuation as possible...that's just how I feel about Jill, Paul and this song!

Anyway, I'm LOVING the video. Miss Jill Scott and Paul Wall (H-Town, whatitdobaby! <-- only a Texan, actually a HOUSTONIAN would know what that last phrase means...H-TOWN STAND UP!) are really doing their thing in the So Gone video. I'm TOTALLY loving Jill's look in this video...the red lips, animal print, side swept hair, embellished earrings... Miss Scott, YOU BETTA WORK HUNTY!

Then there's Mr. Paul, representing H-Town to the fullest...Paul Wall gets his sexy little H-Town thug on with the diamonds in the grill (SN: I am not a fan of conglomeration in the mouth unless it's braces, dentures, crowns...get my drift, but it's something about Paul's conglomeration that is oh so cool...I'm digressing...get back on track, Nat), tats ALL over and the infamous fitted cap...LOVES IT! Makes me feel like I'm at home...*clicks heels* and says out loud, "There's no place like H-Town, there's no place like H-Town.")

So ummm yeah, I've gushed about this video so I bet you want to see it if you haven't already, right? If so, click the link, enjoy, and if you're not a fan of Jill Scott and Paul Wall, you will be after watching this video.

Enjoy and see ya at the TOP, lovies!

Ciao!
