Farewell Summer 2014

 

Hello JFOG Readers! I have missed you all! Excuse my absence. I missed a large part of the summer and I have to catch up. Thank you to everyone who continues to check out my blog and who checks me out on social media. (Instagram: @chaneldior1913) I am currently working on a new closet sale and some makeup looks for Halloween so please stay tuned! Below is a recap of my summer. I celebrated a birthday this summer (I'm a Cancer!) and I played in tons of bright lip color!

 

I made a last minute decision to go out for my birthday. I kept it simple and just went to dinner and a lounge. Here are pics of what I wore:

 

Dress: Asos

Clutch: Aldo Accessories

Shoes: Nine West

Flower Crown: Local Hair Accessories Shop

 

 

 

On my actual birthday I did my makeup and hung out with my family. I did not go anywhere special. Here are details of my BDAY FOTD:
 

Brows:

MAC Fluidline in Dipdown

Graftobian soft orange crème color corrector to sculpt

Eyes:

NYX white eye shadow base

MAC shadows in Swiss Chocolate, Folie, Vibrant Grape, and Fig 1

La femme blush in Purple Passion to help blend

MAC Neo orange pigment

(I will add that the formula for this pigment is very different which makes it more difficult to work with)

Urban Decay liner in Mars under eye

Complexion:

Kat Von D lock it tattoo foundation in deep 71

Mac Pro longwear concealer in NW40

MAC prep & prime highlighters in bright forecast & peach lustre (set with Ben Nye banana powder)

Lips:

Here are some bright lip color combinations that I enjoyed this summer (featuring MAC Magenta liner):

Memorial Day Weekend

I love celebrating Memorial Day weekend by attending parties. It symbolizes the beginning of summer for me. In spite of the Texas heat and mosquitoes, I absolutely love summer and it is my favorite season! For Memorial Day weekend I attended a few parties and I attended the annual Omega Psi Phi boat ride.

Here is what I wore to a party on Friday:

Dress: Topshop

Handbag: custom from @legacythedesigner on Instagram and etsy

Shoes: Vince Camuto

Here is what I wore on the boat:

Dress: Asos

Flower crown: Shasa

Sandals: Target

Lipstick is MAC Magenta liner & Relentlessly Red lipstick. Complexion is Makeup Forever face & body in caramel 12 set with mac mineralize skinfinish in deep dark. (I typically wear dark but I have yet to replace it). 

I know that most of my readers are more interested in fashion than beauty and I will make a greater effort to feature more outfit of the day/night posts. Thank you for your patience and continued support. Thank you to everyone who sends feedback on other social media sites as well. I sincerely appreciate every kind word and inquiry.

Past Favorites

I usually do not remember to take pictures of my clients so I do not have very many. I am working on more projects so that I can add more images to this site. All of the pictures were taken on my iPhone or iPad because of convenience. I have a standard digital camera but I plan to invest in a more professional camera so that the details can be captured. All of these are vague quality and do not capture the true colors, nonetheless they are examples that will suffice in the meantime. Here are a few of my past faves:

February 2012 - I did makeup for the majorettes at a high school. They requested a gold smokey eye.

 

June 2012 - she was on her way to a wedding. On her lips is MAC Embrace Me liner and MAC Viva Glam Nicki.

 

July 2012 - We gave her an eye look of muted pinks and earth tone browns along with a pink lip but you can't see the colors because this was taken on an iPad. However, her eyebrows were nice - we used Lamik brow system including Southside brow powder and K33 eyebrow brightening cream. She was on her way to a party. 

 

December 2012 - she wanted a glam but less intense smokey eye. We used MAC Blackground as a base, along with MAC typographic and carbon to smoke out the look. She loves the ombré lip trend so we used MAC plum liner and MAC Snob lipstick on the lips. She was being recognized at an award ceremony. 

 

February 2012 - This diva wanted a glam look for an All Star Weekend event. We used MAC Magenta liner and MAC Candy Yum Yum lipstick on her lips.

 

 

This blog will be about all things glam, from hair to makeup, to fashion and nails, along with product reviews and everything in between. It is just one big jar full of glam! Feel free to leave questions/comments below.
