Elle

A Foundation for Every Style

When asked about my personal style, I often sum it up in three words: feminine and flirty with a bit of an edge.  My core style never changes, however depending on my mood and the atmosphere I'm in, I change up my look from my lipstick to my pumps.  Feel me?  If you're anything like me, you'll love this new personal style video by ELLE and Revlon.

It's a film that you dictate depending on your mood and atmosphere and it concludes with your style personality for the day.  Mine today is 'flirty.'  Obviously.   After it diagnosed me, it recommended five Revlon products to help me achieve a look that matched my mood and day, really taking the guess work out of getting ready. Truth is, no matter what my mood is, I like Revlon ColorStay Makeup, because it's lightweight, lasts all day and a good complexion complements all of my styles.

Check out the film and play for yourself.  I'd love to know what your personal style results are!

Backstage Beauty Report: Elle Fashion Next

You're going to love this look.  The first backstage I covered this season was a bit off-beat, but the makeup look was far from it thanks to Maybelline New York.  A dramatic winged cat eye, soft, matte skin and sheer nude lips.  Wearable and easy to achieve.   The show, Elle Fashion Next, where emerging talent from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago are given a chance to showcase their work, was a great success.  Here, of course, is my backstage beauty report.

Being that there were many students showcasing their unique styles, it was important for the lead Maybelline New York Makeup Artist, Gabriel Almodovar to add consistency to the show through makeup.  Since the winged cat eye was the main focus, he instructed his team to use whatever it took to make sure it was done right.  His secret?  Using Maybelline 's EyeStudio Master Drama Cream Pencil Eyeliner in Midnight Master, since it glides on so easily, with an angled brush to create the preciseness and draw it out to a crisp point.

Everyone, even the models, were buzzing about the new lipcolor that Maybelline is launching this November called Color Elixir.  This is one I for sure, have to get my hands on!  It's a perfect hybrid between a lipstick, gloss and balm. The models were all wearing a sheer nude called Glistening Amber.
