FOTD: Kim Kardashian at Lala Vazquez's Wedding

Hi Beauties!

Kim Kardashian looked beautiful at the Lala Vazques & Carmelo Anthony wedding this past weekend. I couldn't help but to post photos of her outfit and makeup.

Lately I've been loving Kim's makeup because she's rocking bronzey colors. I think they compliment her very well and look so great in the summer.

XOXO,

Awilda

FOTD: Ashley Greene 60's Inspired Makeup

How lovely!

I love everything about this look: the hair, the lashes and the white eyeliner.

Look created my Celebrity makeup Artist: Vanessa Scali.

To start, Vanessa evened out Ashley's "nearly flawless skin" with Lancôme's Effacernes concealer in Light Bisque underneath the eyes. "It gives clean, fresh, flawless coverage," she said. Bobbi Brown's Foundation Stick followed. Lancôme's Blush Subtil in Shimmer Pink Pool topped the apples of the cheeks.


For Ashley's dramatic eyes, Vanessa swept YSL's Fard Lumiére Aquarésistant Cream Eyeshadow in Pink Sands over the entire eye. To define and elongate the lash line, Vanessa used Lancôme's Artliner in Black and lined the inner rims with Shu Uemura's Painting Liner in White. The finishing touch: a few generous coats of Lancôme's Ôscillation Mascara in Black for "seductively lengthy lashes," says Vanessa. Ashley's brows were sculpted with Lancôme's Le Crayon Poudre in Brunet.



Finally, Lancôme's lipstick from the Pout-á-Porter series-L'Absolu Rouge in Chris & Tell.

FOTD: Zoe Saldana's Subtle Elegance

Hi Beauties,

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend! The weather in NYC is extremely hot but I personally love it. 

I wanted to share this photo of the beautiful Zoe Saldana with you. I love this photo because the makeup is so subtle but yet extremely sexy. I had the pleasure of bumping into Zoe outside of work one day and she is so stunning in person. The girl doesn't need any makeup at all.

Xoxo,
