Stripyyyyyy... strips

Slm My Ladies

My look post today all bout strips... 

Wore this look on a Saturday morning out with me gals... Stripes, Denim & Heels..   Since I'm a executive housewife and mum... I very seldom get to wear my 6 inch heels... So whenever there is an opportunity I grab it with open arms....   

So ladies ....Whether it be  horizontal, vertical, thin, thick, black and white or in living colour, stripes make a graphic statement, day or night. And while we cant think of a time when stripes weren’t in, they are certainly back in a big way'

The key to wearing strips in the real world is to always wear just one print 

matched with a solid. For example, a vertically striped blouse looks great 

with white trousers or jeans. Vertically striped pants or skirts can make you 

look taller and in style when worn with a solid- colored tee. For dresses,

avoid horizontal stripes that widen your shape... unless you have a boyish

figure and need to create some curves

Black is Beautiful

Good Morning My lovelies....

My look post today is all about black & dress up .... However I've added a touch of colour, as I don't want to look like I'm in mourning or simply oppressed. especially with having to go out to a function....      

So as you know....Black is the color most commonly associated with elegance, followed by silver, gold, and white.

Bespokers think back to when you played dress up with all your mom's things... back to when you dabbled in her makeup and were swallowed up by her clothes... when rouge (blush) was over-applied and lipstick was ever-abundant. Those were the days when you longed to trade in your little things  for women's evening gowns. You wanted to be a grown up and do the same grown up things your parents did. I still have this clear vision in my head of  my ma Bespoke having this absolutely beautiful black elegant dress. That I always had my eye on and would of love to play dress up with it at the time.... However my ma's gowns were clearly locked away out of my reach at the time... Wish I was a little taller..... So had no luck... hehehehehehe...   

 Black has long been lauded for its ability to flatter women's figures and suit every occasion."Black is the color that goes with everything. If you're wearing black, you're on sure ground.

Elegance is a combination of Distinctions, naturalness, care & simplicity and black exemplifies elegance! 

Black is a wardrobe basic for the duration of the trend, on the basis that black is always fashionable.

Peachy & Creamy....

Hello my fabulous peeps........  

As a makeup artists. I tend to frequent makeup stores and at the same time whist added new candy to my kit, I also tend to get inspiration from when I'm out.             

Sooo since bright and beautiful lips are such a big trend... Got myself a creme-sheen ravishing Mac lipstick. It's become one of my favorite everyday lipsticks. It's an effortless color, and it works so well with my complexion . I overlooked this color,  I'm not sure why though ....as it's a wonderful color. Probably cause I always go for a more natural nude effect. However don'T be fooled by the colour of the actual lipstick..... Once tested it was so much lighter on me lips.

It's peachy, it's creamy, it has decent staying power, and the finish is oh so nice. I line my lips with Spice when I use Ravishing, and the finished look is simply perfect for my skin. If you like pinkish corals or peach colors, please give Ravishing a try!

A medium-dark coral-orange with a soft shimmer-sheen. It has a Creme-sheen finish, and it is part of the permanent range. The color coverage is opaque. It has a slightly drier texture, so it does tug a bit when it is applied–it just doesn't glide on effortlessly. 

Ravishing Lipstick Colour on me lips....

So my Ravishing Dolls

Until next time..... 

Peace....

Professional Makeup brushes

Hello my lovelies... Soooo decided to share and give you some tips on me new purchase of Pro makeup brushes... 

Being a professional makeup artist and having to wash me brushes regularly, due to hygiene purposes. I believe that its important to invest in good quality brushes. So Got me-self  some new Pro Mac brushes, an addition to my current collection.      

So Bespokers Deciding which makeup brushes to add to your collection can be daunting at best, especially for someone who is just starting out. Trying to decide which brushes you need can be overwhelming, however, having the correct brushes can make a big difference in your makeup application.

Quality, not quantity, is the rule. A general guideline is to look for high quality brushes created for a specific use. Most of the brushes should be dense, with a silky texture and a tapered, rounded shape. Here are my four new purchases....

Me New Brushes!!!!! 

 Love Love Love....  

Anything new!!!!

150 Large Powder Brush

Full and dense for dusting loose or pressed powder on face or body. This brush is 

particularly good for blush application with soft fibers that form a full, rounded shape.

168 Large Angled Contour Brush 

For expert application of cheek contour. This brush is a large angled contour - the 

fibres form a buffed edge and are soft and firmly bundled.

217 Blending Brush 

For shading or blending of colour or creamy products. This brush has fine, densely

 packed fibers that are arranged in an oval shape.

228 Mini Shader Brush

Excellent for applying emollient-based products. This brush has fibers which are 

slightly round-tipped and firm. 

SOOOOOO!!!

If there is any particular brush you would like info on....then please give me a shout...

Until next time my Pro's

Trooodlellllssss 

Love ya! 

  

Le Maxi Dress

Maxi dresses are sooo gorgeous. Don't you just love the way the hemline gently sways around the legs? Me likey! So appropriate for us Muslim lads.

After the sky-high hemlines of the early 21st century, the maxi dress gained a whole new generation of fans, as women everywhere sought out a comfortable, low-key alternative to the mini-skirts and impossibly short shorts of the period. 

However, the maxi dress is no longer the voluminous mound of polyester it was in the 1970s. Today's designers rely on cotton and other fine fabrics, which keep the wearer feeling cool and breezy, even on the hottest summer days. Modern maxi dresses also offer a much more flattering fit, with plenty of styles to accentuate any figure.t's all in how you wear it, 'hon

Many women associate long dresses with dressy, formal occasions. However it's all changing now - and it has become acceptable and stylish to wear a maxi dress without hurting your fashion repertoire. A long dress is elegant, comfy and chic!

However, to look stylish in longer hems without projecting any signs of frumpiness, is solely dependent on how you style it. You also need to work extra on selecting the right style for your body figure, scale and height.

With the right accessories, you can go from sleek and classy to trendy and chic. 

Until me next post my Beauties...

Stay true and wear Maxi's!!!!
