Movie Makeup

Lazy Girl’s Guide To Amazing Sk

10 Fabulous Movie Makeup Looks Through the Years

For almost a century, movie makeup artists have used their skill to create looks from any and every time period and genre. While the makeup of science fiction aliens and horror villains are interesting, to say the least, the makeup looks that make our jaw drop in the middle of the theater require a lot less face paint. Fabulous movie makeup transforms a beautiful actress into an even more beautiful character, a feat that seems impossible.
The following looks are bold, gorgeous, and could absolutely be recreated at home for a costume party or even for just a night out!

Nicole Kidman’s extremely long eyebrows, matte black eyeshadow, and red lips are as critical to this musical as the character herself.

Makeup Trends To Avoid

Understanding Makeup Trends

Most of us admire celebrities and the glamour surrounding their lifestyles.  When it comes to the makeup that their makeup artists create we try and imagine that this is their everyday look.  Makeup trends normally follow a certain look inspired by certain looks created by makeup artists.
When it comes to applying makeup the general rule is that there is no rule but that you must wear whatever you are comfortable with and what enhances your natural beauty.

Makeup Trends We Hope Never Come Back – by Wayne Goss

There’s a reason zombies are so frightening. Things that are dead should stay dead. Maybe that’s why it’s so shocking when someone sports a dead trend. If it’s not trending anymore, there’s probably a good reason. The following are makeup styles we can only hope will never rise from the dead to make their comeback. (Plus some trends we hope die a swift death as soon as possible!)

This ’90s trend just makes you look like you forgot to wipe your mouth after eating a chocolate bar.

We all know how Wayne feels about these faded brows. Even though they’re still going strong, we hope they bow out of popular culture very soon.

Celebrate Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day

Valentines - image 1Valentine’s Day, also known as Saint Valentine’s Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is a celebration observed on February 14 each year  when people show feelings of love, affection and friendship.
It is also a time to appreciate friends in some social circles and cultures. For example, Valentine’s Day in Finland refers to “Friend’s day”, which is more about remembering all friends rather than focusing solely on romance. Valentine’s Day in Guatemala is known as Day of Love and Friendship). It is similar to Valentine’s Day customs and traditions countries such as the United States but it is also a time for many to show their appreciation for their friends.Valentines - image 1

Wake Up Beautiful

About Beauty Sleep

sleeping 2 - imageWhen it comes to your beauty routine, sleep may be the closest thing there is to a fountain of youth. Your body repairs itself and recovers while you snooze, and that leads to a long list of benefits for your looks. The key is to get enough shut-eye — 7 to 9 quality hours each night.If you’re getting fewer than 6 hours, it’s likely affecting your appearance. Start getting 1 to 3 more hours of Zzz’s, and you could see some improvement in as little as a day. Keep it up, and within 2 to 3 weeks, people will notice that you’re sleeping better by the way you look.
Watch this Kandee Johnson video below for more tips on how to wake up more beautiful

Secrets for Brides-To-Be For a Perfect Day

Ah, your wedding day.  One of the most special and important days in your life.  With a bit of planning you can ensure that this will be a memorable and magic day. 

12 Things to Know Before Your Wedding Day

http://tinyurl.com/ovdyzql
Chelsea shares some tips she learned of her big day in the hope that what she share will help other brides-to-be on their special day.
 Don’t wear heels for your rehearsal, unless you’re a frequent heel wearer.wedding shoes - image
I’m not a big heel wearer because I’m tall enough sans shoes.  But I wore 3 inch wedges for our wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.  HUGE mistake.  I was struggling to walk in my 2 inch heels 3 hours into my wedding day.  If you do wear heels for your rehearsal pop on some flats for the rest of the evening, especially if your feet aren’t conditioned to walk in heels.
Hold your bouquet low.wedding bouquet - image
I cringe when I see brides holding their bouquets up by their faces.  It may feel weird to hold it low, but trust me, it looks so much better. Before walking down the aisle with my dad and stepdad, I held my bouquet where I wanted it and told them to hook my arms.  Do the same with whoever walks you down the aisle.


 Baby wipes are your best friend.
We did First Look photos outside before our ceremony, which meant that the bottom hem of my dress was dirty even though I picked it up when I walked around.  When my bridal party and I got to our ceremony venue, my Maid of Honor busted out some baby wipes and went to town cleaning the hem of my dress.  The baby wipes were magical– taking all the dirt off my dress.  When I walked down the aisle no one could tell how dirty it was 30 minutes earlier.   Note: My dress was satin.  Make sure you can use baby wipes on your dress material.
Have your Maid of Honor practice bustling your dress before the wedding day.
Having your Maid of Honor (or whoever will be bustling your dress) practice bustling your dress before your big day will save time.  If possible, have her accompany you to your last fitting so your seamstress can show her how to do it.  Note: I had a one-point bustle and it held strong all night, never breaking.  I credit my seamstress using Ric-Rac ribbon.
How to Choose  a Bustle For Your Wedding Dress –
