Beauty Trend: Dark Lips

Summer conjures up images of glossy lips in bright, candy-colored hues like fuchsia or cherry red. Fun retro pops of lip color go well with itsy-bitsy bikinis, neon surf gear, and boldly printed beach towels. But why not experiment and break the summer beauty rules with darker lips?

Rihanna’s Make-Up Artist Reveals Her Beauty Secrets

In the last few years Rihanna has blossomed from a cookie-cutter popstar who didn’t really stand out, to a fashion icon who is constantly reinventing herself.

While Rihanna plays an active part in masterminding each of her new looks, it’s her hairstylist Ursula Stephen and make-up artist Karin Darnell who ensure each look is better than the next.

Karin Darnell revealed to Elle Magazine (UK) the secrets to:

Getting A Smoky Eye Right

“On Rihanna, I like to blend a smoky shadow out under the lower lash line to enlarge the eyes up and out towards the temples. Again, blending is key to getting this right. For me, smoky is a haze, it doesn’t have to be black it just needs to be a wash of color. Dark lilac can still appear impactful once mascara and liner is applied.”

Getting The Perfect Lipcolor

“I use a lot of rich berries on Rihanna. For the Te Amo video I used a deep, dark berry lipstick. I then applied a berry gloss in the middle of the lip to break it up. Light in the center, whether it’s a clear gloss or a hint of pink or red, will give dark lip colors warmth.”

Using Colored Mascara

“I’ve used colored mascara on Rihanna before – a modern way to wear this is to color match the mascara to your eyeshadow. Go for a dark blue, green or purple and pair with a similar eyeshadow shade. It’s a great look for a night out.”

Getting The Most Out Of Your Complexion

“For black skin you can’t beat Iman’s foundations for texture and color. To avoid your complexion looking  too flat use a foundation a shade lighter than your skintone to add highlights to your cheekbones, nose and brow bones.  One shade will just blank you out” says Karin. “Apply foundation with your fingers and remember the key word is blend!” she adds.

“Also, don’t over-powder your complexion. Moisture in the skin is a sign of youth. Simply blot excess oil with a tissue and dust lightly with powder.”

How To Wear Nude

The color nude has been taking over the fashion weeks and the street style blogs with a fiery vengeance. A color previously overlooked because of the monotone and unimaginative connotation attached to it is now becoming a worldwide staple.

In actuality, its minimalist look and clean character leaves room for the imagination to flow, making it one of the most versatile color foundations around which to work a look.

It evokes timelessness, for it is not defined by a certain decade, nor does it try too hard to be noticed by being overly decadent. Yet it cannot help but stand out, as it gracefully mimics images of perfection like the purity of flawless baby skin, or a fresh scoop of vanilla ice cream.

From deep camel to a light hint of beige, nude can be worn in a wide spectrum of tones that bring to mind nature’s softest influences.

Whether you wear it from head to toe, or broken up with your favorite black statement piece, nude never fails to go a long way, and be just as statement-making as the season’s most colorfully saturated pieces.

To get some tips on styling pieces in this au natural color, take a look at all the different ways that these young women wear it. The possibilities are endless.

What Will We Call the Belgian Designers if There’s No More Belgium

What’s in a name? When it’s Belgian, and teamed with designer, it is easy shorthand for modern conceptual fashion. It conjures up references of the Antwerp Six (Dries Van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, Marina Yee, Dirk Van Saene, Dirk Bikkembergs, and Walter Van Beirendonck) who raised eyebrows in the eighties with their pioneering, offbeat looks. The country has been known for avant-garde fashion ever since, and up until now this has worked nicely. But what do we call those oh-so-cool Belgians if a time comes when their country, divided by politics, demands we call them by some other name?

Ana Khouri Designs Gems That Can Go All Over the Globe

Ana Khouri loves to imagine her jewelry on the move somewhere in the world. A pyrite pendant suspended from two thin gold chains could be on a visit to a favorite café in Prague. A pair of hematite-and-diamond cone spike earrings just might happen to be in the back of a taxi en route to a party in Paris. Plenty of her designs do get to travel because they’re worn by globetrotting types like Isabeli Fontana and Natalia Vodianova.
