M.A.C. Viva Glam II for 2011

Viva Glam II Nude Lipstick and Lipglass would be Great with a smokey eye in M.A.C. Bronze shadow .  This look isn't for everybody.  It could come off as Corpse-like if not done right.  You can eperiment with bronzer or a nice blush like Nars Orgasm.

Eyes

Tom Ford Eyewear S/S 2011

Abby Lee models the Newest Cat-Eye Inspired Glasses and Sunglasses for Tom Ford's newest Collection.  The clothing and accessories are just as Hot as the glasses.  That crystal necklace is a must have!

Abby's lipstick and nail polish are classic colors with a blue base to them.  I always use OPI's Got the Blues for Red.  It's a perfect shade of red.  You can achieve her lipcolor by using any lipstick shades with a blue-red base.  I like M.A.C. Ruby Woo it can be quite matte though so try a swipe of clear lipglass.  Abby's eyes are smoldering with gray/charcoal shadow.  You can try Nars Cordura or Okinawa which has three shades that consist of Silver, Deep Cobalt Blue and Onyx.  You can mix those shades together to create the Dramatic Effect above.

Fendi

Fendi Spring 2011

Anja Rubik models for Karl Lagerfeld's Spring 2011 line for Fendi.  I like the mixtures of Secondary and Primary colors.  The Bold Blues, Red, Orange and Greens.  

Use M.A.C. Smolder Pencil and Typographic Shadow to achieve the Robert Palmer-Esque Makeup look for the eyes.  Anja's lips are more of a orange-red so try Nars Heat Wave or Tarte's LipSurgence Natural Matte Lip Tint in Fiery.

Ruby

Ruby Alridge for Dossier Journal

I couldn't help but find all these Looks Amazing.  I want every accessory in these photos.  The fur, boots, hat, lace ankle socks, lace bodysuit, wedges and the head piece!  Derek Kettela took some Great shots!

Ruby's lips are Gorgeous looking in the black/white photo.  The lipstick looks matte, try M.A.C. Ruby Woo or Nars Velvet Matte Pencil in Cruella.  If your more on the natural trend try Tarte LipSurgence Natural Matte Lip Tint in Fiery.

Luxirare

Luxirare

I can't get enough of Luxirare.  I need these pieces.  The combination of the Luxirare Motorcycle Jacket with Wolford Stockings and Giambattista Valli Shoes is Genius!  Oh yeah, don't forget the Hermes belt.  

Model Iana is rocking the Luxirare Leopard Print Calf Hide Peacoat with D-Squared Thigh High Spine Boots.  

Iana's hair is Smooth and Sleek.  Try Moroccan oil or Alterna's Bamboo Kendi oil after you flat iron.  Her makeup is smoked out around the eyes lightly and her lips are in a peachy nude shade.  You can try M.A.C. in Subculture liner to achieve the lips or Nars Dolce Vita.

Candace Ang

Candace Ang in Stanley Korshak

Stanley Korshak's Fine Jewels 2010 Holiday Catalog features Candace Ang's Pieces.  The Metallic Mesh Covered Bead Earrings and Necklace would make any outfit stand out!

The Makeup is Incredible!  The lush eyebrows and silver shadow with dark plum lips.  Here are some shade suggestions for lipstick and eye shadow.  M.A.C. eye shadows in Forgery or Silver Ring.  M.A.C. lipstick in Dark side.  You can also try Tarte Natural lip tint in Moody as well as Nars Lipstick in Tamango.  You have to remember to exfoliate your lips well first and always conditon your lips morning and night.  Jouer makes the Perfect Lip Conditioner called the Essential Lip Conditioner.  It contains Botanical Ingredients such as  Vitamin E, Shea Butter and Jojoba Oils.  There's also a added bonus, it plumps up your lips!

If your like most people and shop for Christmas at the very last minute, check out Free People's December Catalog for some gift ideas.  The hard part for me is giving gifts because I always tend to buy gifts I like personally so it's hard to give them away.  This Hand Crochet Dress is one of my Favorite Pieces in the new catalog.  

If you want Smooth Straight hair like the model try the Alterna Bamboo Dry Mist or Moroccan Oil on the ends.  Her Makeup is natural with strong brows and a nude lip.  M.A.C Peachstock or Nars Honolulu Honey would be a Great choice.
