Academy Awards

Hello Fashionistas!

I don’t know about you, but my eyes were glued to the television screen last night. Since the annual Academy Awards is like a national holiday for fashionistas alike, I did not want to miss one minute of it. The red carpet overflowed and trailed with some of the most beautiful gowns I have ever seen. According to Women’s Wear Daily, there was an abundance of skirts, ruffles and bows on almost every outfit. Giorgio Armani’s Privé princess gowns, which were seen on Amanda Seyfried and Jennifer Lopez, were made of “space age fibers” that were as light as they were bountiful, however, they also made sitting very difficult. On the other hand, Armani gowns were full of pale colors. One of my personal favorites was the dress on Sandra Bullock. Her gold sparkly Marchesa dress looked absolutely radiant on her. To see other beautiful gowns worn by some of the world’s most glamorous actress’s, check out www.oscar.go.com!

How to get the Perfect Bronze Glow

Hello Fashionistas!

We all know that warm weather is slowing approaching, so every fashionista wants to look bronze and beautiful. One way to get a sun-kissed glow is by using a bronzer. Bronzer is an excellent way to achieve a glowing complexion, however, making bronzer look natural can sometimes be tricky. Luckily, Jillian Veran,Prescriptives‘ Director of Artistry, gave Makeup Minute some easy, breezy tips on creating a summer perfect glow using bronzer. Check out the steps below!

• Never apply a powder or cream bronzer to an un-prepped skin. Bronzer is rich in color and will grab onto dry or un-exfoliated skin creating a choppy and dirty look to the skin.

• Powder bronzer will adhere smoother to a skin that has a slight base, if you want to go sans foundation, wait for your moisturizer to dry, very lightly dust a sheer translucent powder over entire face using an oversized powder brush. Follow with powder bronzer, using a bronzer brush over entire face

• If you wear a liquid foundation in the summer, mix a drop of liquid or cream bronzer with it to create a sheer glow on the skin with out being too dark.

• Bronzer should always look like its coming from your own skin not a bottle. Go for a bronzer with a satin or matte finish during the day, keeping luminosity very sheer. However using a bronzer with shimmer at night will add depth and glow to the skin – try Prescriptives Mineral Bronzer(available in Warm or Cool.)

• If your skin is tan naturally, avoid a flat look by adding a liquid or powder low level shimmer ingold for warm and rose for cool, this will brighten the skin and enhance your natural tan

With these simple steps... all fashionistas should look bronze and beautiful in no time

I am always looking for a quick way to style my hair. Since most of us fashionistas are always on the go, we all could use a simple hair style that will make our life less hectic. One easy hair style that is extremely popular right now is called the “topknot.” This classic look is great dressy or casual and is super easy to do. To achieve this stylish up do, follow three basic steps:

1. Pull hair into a high poly tail somewhat near the crown of your head

2. Twirl you hair into a tight twist and wrap it around the base of your ponytail

3. Add a finishing touch with light gel to smooth down stray hair and to create a more polished look

Rockin' Pastels

Hello Fashionistas!

Since a new season is approaching, it gives you the perfect excuse to go shopping and update your wardrobe (not like you ever need an excuse to go shopping). But if you are looking for the hint of color to lighten up your look, opt for the sweet shades of lavender, peach and pink. These three shades are fun, flirty and perfect for spring! In order to know which color looks best on you, you need to find the hue that suits your hair color just right. Typically, blondes should try pink, while redheads and light skinned brunettes would look amazing in coral and peach. If you are a darker-skinned brunette, you are the lucky ones who can rock any shade and look fabulous. To add the final tough to your spring colored outfit, style it with neutral extras such as a beige clutch or pearl white accessories. If you have a hott date and want to take your outfit to the next level, add metallic accents for a sexier look.
