3 Model Tricks We All Should Know!

Who said that us everyday pretty girls can't be a model! Three simple tips for my everyday "Tyra Banks".

Pastel eye shadows is your friend.

Just swap your charcoal shadow for the grown-up pastels makeup artist Dick Page used on models at Michael Kors. He lined their eyes with black pencil, then added gold shimmer in the inner corners. Next, he applied light blue or purple shadow along the lower curve of the eyes and from the lash line to just above the crease, then smudged, smudged, smudged. He finished with black mascara.

Orange is the new red lipstick.

 

The trick to pulling it off: Just pick one spot to play up. Makeup pro Lucia Pica chose the cheeks at the Erin Fetherston show. She rubbed creamy orange blush onto the models’ cheekbones with her fingers—a nice, bright contrast to their smoky brown

Textured Manicures

Think of your nails as a showpiece accessory (they’re jewelry, but cheaper), and apply a polish with sparkle—like chunky glitter or gold flecks—built in. “It’s all about texture,” manicurist Elle told me at the Reem Acra show. Another way to wear the trend: Try a dark, opaque shade, with a sheer, shimmery layer on top

Things Guys Don't Get About Fashion!

I now that when I get dressed to go out rather it be a date, out to party, shop, and sometimes even work. I get dressed.  I do it for me, but subconsciously I probably do it for guys too. I always wonder do they really care for this. The clothes, shoes, jewlery. Does it really matter? 


Really High Heels

Call me crazy, but if a gal looks like she’s really uncomfortable in the shoes she’s wearing, it makes me uncomfortable—I don’t care how hot the shoes are. I’m not saying you should rock New Balances instead, but if you can’t wear those heels without grimacing every step, maybe save them for seated events.

Hippie Headbands

Hipster girls have started wearing what look like belts on their heads. It’s cute in a pathetic way because it looks like they got confused while they were getting dressed.

Furry Boots in The Summer

I can’t help but laugh when I see urban women sporting those super-furry Ugg boots. Sweetheart, you’re not competing in the Iditarod or about to plant a flag on Everest. Your run to get a blueberry smoothie and a manicure doesn’t require extreme survival gear.
—Dave, 24

 

Fancy Swimwear

What’s with wearing fancy shoes, jewelry and makeup when you’re just hanging out at the pool?

High Waist Jeans

I’m not a fan of the high-waist jeans some girls wear—it reminds me too much of my old elementary-school teachers.

Best Makeup Shades for Your Skin Tone

 

Fair: Skin

Soft pink, tawny and beige tones work best for alabaster complexions. L.A. makeup artist Tasha Reiko Brown-Jovel, who has worked with Evan Rachel Wood and Brittany Snow, says to avoid orangey reds and frosty finishes—"they can make skin look sallow and washed out."

1. FOUNDATION: Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk in No. 2. This barely there buff gives pale skin a fresh sheen. $58; buy online now at giorgioarmanibeauty.com.

Medium-Fair: Skin

Spiced-up neutrals make fair to medium skin tones look healthy—and enhance features without overpowering them. Look for yellow undertones and gold flecks to take basic nudes and taupes from blah to beautiful, says N.Y.C. makeup artist Gita Bass, who works with Elizabeth Banks.

Dark: Skin

To add depth and definition to lips, cheeks and eyes, look for rich metallic hues like burnt copper and bronze or bright berry tones. When it comes to foundation, "the darker the skin, the more spot-on you have to be with color," says L.A. makeup artist Vanessa Scali.

1. FOUNDATION: Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk in No. 11. A warm chocolate-colored base with just enough red to counteract ashiness. $58; buy online now at giorgioarmanibeauty.com.
