Makeup Inspiration

Who doesn't love Angelina Jolie's makeup? It is so natural and classic and elegant! I have always been a fan of her eye makeup and actually do the same thing with my eye liner, since our eye shape is very similar. If you notice the liner starts out thin and gets wider creating the illusion that her eyes are more of an almond shaped. Great little makeup tip!

a vintage photo shoot

I got asked to model for a photo shoot, by my dear friend Kat from Always and Forever Photography.  I absolutely adore Kat's photography, not only is she the sweetest and so fun to be around, but you see little bits of her in every picture she takes, and I love that. I love when you immediately know who is play the piano without even turning around, because you know the sound their music makes, or you see a painting and instantly you know who created it just by the strokes of the paint, it is that way with Kat's photography. I remember the first time I visited her blog she had posted a family photo session. Everyone was in pj's outside in the most glorious tent made of old quilts, playing board games as the sun went down. It was the most beautiful family shoot I had ever seen and I knew in that moment when I have my little family someday, she will be taking our family pics! She has such a wonderful way of making you feel so comfortable before she ever snaps a picture and incorporates the little things you love into the pictures, whether it is old records or perfume bottles or your grandma's quilt.

Kat asked if we could incorporate a vintage feel to the makeup, hair and clothing for the shoot, and I was so excited about the theme she was creating, I think I brought my whole closet with me the day of the shoot! We both love anything vintage and the little antique shop near her house agreed to let us spend the afternoon among their old things, dressing up and taking pictures. SO excited to share a few with you! For the rest of the shoot and more photography by Kat, stop by her blog!

Red Carpet Makeup Trends

I love watching the first few red carpet appearances of the year. It gives so much insight into the coming trends, especially in makeup. These were my personally favorites from the Golden Globes!



I always love her makeup and this is no exception. I am noticing
 heavier liner everywhere and she pulls off the look beautifully!
Paired with the subtle cheeks and a nude lip, I think is it dramatic and bold.
 

This look seems so Audrey Hepburn to me.  I love the light berry lip,
neutral eyes, and strong brows...it just works with her pixie cut.

Nicole matched her eyeshadow to her dress and I love how youthful and
fun it turned out to be!

Makeup Inspiration~Megan Fox

Megan Fox is  a brunette and I am a brunette and I kinda like her makeup...a lot! Her look has evolved over the last few years and I have to say I love them all. I definitely gain inspiration from these. Take a look...




How beautiful is she?



The "no makeup" makeup...she said in an interview she was so nervous about this look
because until this night she always wore false lashes for big appearances.





Love the liner and lipstick, this is from a few years back and a lip she sported often



I just like the youthfulness of the makeup, especially the reddish/coral gloss



love the silver eye and nude lip...and how amazing is her hair?



Love the strong brow she has in this photo shoot

Makeup Inspiration~Wildfox

Wildfox is one of my favorite t-shirt brands. They are comfy and feel lived in and worn and for me that is everything I want a t-shirt to be. They just recently did a photoshoot for their new swimsuit line and while I absolutely adore their swimwear, I have to say I was a little distracted by the amazing makeup! It has this wonderful 60's vibe and it is just so beautifully done. Oh, and after looking at these I have come to the conclusion, red is the best hair color and it is the only one for me and it goes so well with all the cute Wildfox swimsuits...so therefore, I will be a red head!

Love, love, love the makeup! Checkout the rest of the photoshoot and the all swimwear at wildfox.com
