Fierce Spotlight: Simone


With my almost daily visits to Sephora and mountains of beauty products taking a permanent residence under my bathroom sink it’s safe to say I’m a makeup fiend.  And you know what I'm ok with that.  Mostly because I know that I don’t stand alone in my obsession.  In fact I found a good ol’ college friend, Simone who understands my unhealthy fascination with makeup, quite well.  As I was browsing her FB pics  (oh don't act like you don't stalk fb profiles too)  I was amazed by her stunning makeup looks.  It was hard to deny her talents with makeup.  I knew right away that I had to share her creativity with the masses.   After a few email exchanges she agreed to allow me to spotlight her and answered a few quick questions about her favorite products and how she got started with makeup.

1. What are your favorite products that you can't live without?
 My favorite products that I can't live without would be MAC lipglass (but there are a few I adore like Viva Glam VI), Urban Decay eyeliner in Zero or Milani's blue eyes liner and Covergirl Lash Blast in black. 

2. How did you get started with makeup? 
I actually started playing with my mom's makeup basket when I was a kid. She had this blue eyeliner and bronze shadow that I completely coveted when she wasn't looking (lol). 


3. Have you considered making makeup a career choice?
I have considered it for a long time. 


4. What is your makeup advice to live by?
My advice would be to remember to exfoliate and moisturize





Many thanks Simone for allowing me to share a piece of you on I wanna be fierce.  

So guys tell me are you a makeup fiend?

Stand Out


Stand out red lips are definitely one of the many things that I will be sporting this fall and winter. All variations from rusty reds to maroons, to gloss to mattes, I'm game for it all. Although this attention grabbing look is classified as more of a night time look wearing it in the day is not unheard of. Achieving a bold red lip for the daytime is quite simple. The key is to keep the eyes neutral. A bit of concealer, eyeliner, mascara and a neutral eyeshadow is all you'll need to play down those eyes. Last week I played in my face (yes I still play in my makeup) and practiced stand out look using Inglot's Matte Collection AMC Lip Pencil in #34. Click inside to see what I came up with
