Bianca Balti in Dolce & Gabbana for Vogue Nippon Beauty

Bianca Balti in Dolce & Gabbana for Vogue Nippon Beauty
 
Amazing Bianca Balti with all her Italian beauty made us freeze after the photoshoot for the Vogue's Beauty cover recently. Personally I find everything that is Italian or Spanish totally gorgeous and can not fall in love with these nationalities.


And her makeup really suites all the girls with Italian/Spanish looks :) the way that the eyeliner was used goes brilliantly with the hair style and the shimmiry gloss of Bianca's skin! 
Hope it gave you some ideas for the half tearm holidays if anyone is going away :)
and here are the tips of how you could be using the eyeliner, the way it will suite YOU and find your way of making the ''cat walk'' look with liquid or pencil eyeliner. Enjoy :* xx

Kim Kardashian

I love the way that Kim Kardashian always looks so elegant! Her makeup is always perfectly done wherever she is and she also allows herself to give some time off to makeup which is very healthy and helps the skin to recover.

So this is the makeup she was wearing for the Maxim Hot 10 party, her makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic was using bold green shadows which gives a glossy look to her eyes. Her hair is a new style, quite unusual for her I suppose as she always wears her hear down with big cascading waves/curls and now it is all slicked back in a tight bun! (I love using tight buns when I am going out)
Very good and helpful thing as that Mario gave us a chance to recreate her look by telling what products he used:
  • Golden Olive pigment ($19.50)
  • Humid eyeshadows by MAC ($14.50) that he used on her peepers.

Photography project; Identity- Similarities and Differences

Similarities and Differences; (1) part: Makeup/accessories & Religion

How makeup can change you; your age, your shape and look of the face.
How accessories can change you; nationality, religion, can reflect your personality = hippie, punk, emo, glamour, sport, ect...

This part of my project shows you how nowadays you can present yourself in different ways and be individual. Your also able to show/change your nationality presenting yourself as Indian, Turkish, Russian, Italian, Saudi etc...but changing your look with clothes and make up and fake your 'identity".

(As I am Russian, and all the people say that it is very easy to spot any Russian woman in London, I wanted to prove that this is wrong!)


Hope this will inspire you for your own brilliant ideas for the new projects in college/uni!

This inspiration came along with make up, my beautiful Arab friends and different women in Harrods :p

MISS SKINNY MINI

Hey guys! Today I wanted to tell you the way of loosing weight :) as I've been asked MANY MANY MANY times all around the internet, college, streets about my way of dieting and loosing weight. o today I'm gonna tell you a bit about it.

To be honest I never had problems with weight, there were times when I wasnt happy with the way I look, but you all know that its normal and you always try and be better and better. This summer when I went to Cyprus to see my relatives, I didnt eat that much. As the weather was very hot and I was always sunbathing or running I wasnt too hungry and most of the time my breakfast was fruits and some fresh juice (usually orange) or just fresh green tea. At lunch I just had a little snack or soup. Dinner was usually some sea food without fatty souses and green tea again.

If you want to try out this diet you can :) the best way of doing it if you are used to lots of food is to:

  • eat porridge on water with no sugar and green tea. Porridge gives you energy and green tea puts in balance (tonus).
  • At lunch you can have soup (as its healthy) but try not to eat any heavy soups, soups such as Miso would work perfectlly well. Or if you do not feel that hungry eat some fruits (no bananas as they have more calories then all the other fruits)/fruit salads/green salads(no dressing,no bread)/steamed vegetables. Do not make yourself starving and thinking by not having any food you will loose weight as its not gonna work.... First because you will damage your health, second that at night you will be very hungry for sure and will go to the kitchen and thirdly you wil feel very weak without food which gives you energy! Do not forget that your not a flower! Water and sun is not enough for you :)
  •  And dinner fish/vegetables or just a low fat yogurt.
Also the most important thing is that you need to drink lots of water to keep your body hydrated all the time! When you have time go to the gym or have a run in the park or just walk as fresh air cleans out your skin and just in general fresh air was never a bad idea!

________________________________________________



Soon I am gonna show you the workout dvds I bought the other day not because I want to loose weight but just want to be sporty and healthy! :)

Be healthy, beautiful and smart! If you gonna diet do it with health and no harm to YOUR BODY please!
Amen ;)

NICK VAN WOERT


Nick van Woert is a modern sculptor with interesting designs of his own. Unique and extravagant designs show a viewer complicated figures/things from a wild and in some point observational point of view about which the viewer never thought before. He is a really good example of the sculpture nowadays as he is creating very dynamic sculptures with an actual concept and interesting and extreme style.

The decorative make-up art by Nina Chakrabarti



  The Facial Make Up that illustrator Nina Chakrabarti has done are very unique and impressive. The glamorous girls which are dressed quite conservative represent a very artistic art of creating the contrast between two styles. The makeup has been done in a funky and wild way which carries with it the representation of not spoilt fashion and not brilliant shik.
