Simple yet Chic

I decided to come up with some simple quick looks for the workplace or any type of event in which someone may need an idea to spruce up their natural hair look. I have natural curly hair type 3c...I love wearing my hair down alot but sometimes after a few hours my curls begin to change and they become puffier and shorter so I wanted to come up with a few updo's and makeup looks that you may tickle your fancy...

First Look: Red/Wine Lips & Silver Eye
Low Bun with Hair Loose on top w/Blk Flower



Second Look: Silver/Purple Smokey Eye & Nude Lips
Hair: High Bun with Front Left Out Swept into a Poof

Third Look: Neutral Grey Eye & Muave Wine Tinted Lips

Hair: 2 Strand Twist Pulled to the Side w/the remainder hair swept

into a side bun.

Please keep in mind this is 2 day hair with only conditioner used & these are

quick looks I just threw together

so they are not really polished and ready to wear out lol...

just to give you an idea or inspiration...

Janelle Monae Inspired

My sister and I adore little miss Janelle Monae... to her music, fashion, features everything about her is amazing! I seen this look and had to post it. We previously made a post showing a Janelle Monae inspired hair do' look..but this here is a latest emsemble Miss Monae was rocking at 20th Annual Glamour Women of the Year Awards...

Her makeup is very clean and flawless and I am loving the simple black liner eyes

with the Hot Pink Lips! I am thinking M.A.C's Girl About Town (below) would be

the perfect pink for this look...

For the hair tutorial.. I am posting

this video from youtube to get an idea

of how to achieve her hairstyle

 enjoy!

Sneak Peak MUA In Action

So other than my undying love of fashion...I also have a great love for makeup actually anything creative  I am automatically attracted to it and I want to be a part of it in some kind of way. Welll I have a sneak peak of behind the scenes photoshoot with my friend Akwanique. It was sooo much fun and the photos are going to be amazing. I took a couple snap shots with my own camera but the professional ones are coming soon!  I am definitley on my way to building my portfolio many upcoming projects coming!

Oh how badly I wished I could be directing a photoshoot myself...soon! but btw..

the professional photos will showcase my makeup skills...

*If you live in the Miami area and would like to have your makeup done and professinally photographed please send me an email.... I need MODELS (men & women) :D
