Formal Introduction

This blog will be a conglomerate of posts about makeup, natural hair, extensions, fashion, etc. It's just one big jar full of glam! I love plus size fashion blogs. My undergrad degree is in Fashion Merchandising and people always commend me on "my eye for style". Hair , makeup, and fashion pertain to aesthetics, and anything pertaining to aesthetics is personal and subjective, therefore you may not always agree with the way I dress or the way I paint faces. However, I am here to share ideas  and add to the blogging community. I have obtained several ideas and sources of inspiration through blogs and online communities such as Instagram and Pinterest, and I would love to serve as a resource for others. I hope you enjoy my posts and feel free to follow me on Instagram and Pinterest @chaneldior1913

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.
