A Fun, Sophisticated, Professional, and Loving aura resonated in Las Vegas last night at the 2015 Centric Soul Train Music Awards. This award show was truly Awe-inspiring. There was a very important communiqué that was shared throughout this event, and that message was the importance in keeping R&B/Soul Music Alive. Last night depicted how beautiful our people really are, and amplified our vitality through Unification. R. Kelly really brought to the stage a culturist visual presentation of unification by having a backyard party setting! Reminding us of Family Reunions, and Cookouts with love one's and friends where we gather together celebrating life, enjoying music, and emanating positive vibes. Maybe we need to come together, and have a Big National Black Cook Out! Think about it, the aura would be miraculous, and efficacious.
HOTTEST LOOKS
I think you all will agree with me that Erykah Badu is not only the Queen of Soul (The Snoop Dog of Neo Soul I like to call her) Badu is also the Queen Mother of Fashion.
Badu's Dermal piercings, Hat Signatures, plastic rimmed glasses (Had these on during the Award Show), deep lip color, and seductive eyes set the bar for this phenomenal event. This Deep Wine Lip Color is set to be on Trend I believe for awhile. Take a close look at her complexion. Badu already has a stunning complexion anyway but still there is not much contour or completion work done at all. For Woman of Color Deep Lips have always been a staple for us. Deep Lips are truly “My Quick Wear & go” that Requires very minimal effort. I will make a YouTube Tutorial showing you my 5 min. "Quick Waer & Go" Makeup Look. The icing on the cake that truly makes the " Quick wear & Go" look is my Deep Wine Lipcolor which gives the illusion that you do have on a full face of makeup. This look keeps me camera ready for any occassion.
Let Talk Lips!!
Ok so let's admit lipsticks, glosses, and nail polish is our weakness right. We always randomly pick up lip colors and nail polishes when we are out shopping. Please Don't let there be sale or a Set with 20+ colors because we are like kids in a candy store, and at the moment we will be loading up our shopping baskets like crazy!! The result of this impulse buy is we end up with the same color variations or a bunch of colors that we feel do not look googd on us.
Below is your Lip Guide to what you truly need in your lip drawer.
"The 5 Lip Must Haves"
When it comes to building your Lip collection ladies start with these 5
Nude Lip Liner- Lip liner is key. Watch my lip Tutorial coming soon to learn more about why it is so imporatant. The reason may shock you.
Nude Color- This is for your Every Day lip wear look and/or Glam Up Eye looks.
A Fun Color- Start with one Fun Color that fits your style. Fun Colors add Accents! Think of Fun Colors (Ex: purples, blues, oranges, and etc.) as an accessory. Eye's and lips are the best accessories to have. Both of these will keep your Jewelry Accessories simple and easy. When you don't have the right braclet or earrings to match you outfit turst me your eyes and lips will have your accessories covered.
Deep Color- Adds Dimension and gives depth.
Clear Gloss- Can make the world of difference especially when it comes to Juicing up your Matte colors. Clear gloss also gives Lip Colors Life. Note to self: Don't spend a lot on a clear gloss your $1.00 brand gloss will still get the job done.
