*opens notepad. creates new shopping list*

Priscilla Ono has been holding our hand since Fenty Beauty launched just a couple of years ago. She calms us down every time we fangirl + makes sure we know how to use every Fenty product to make sure we are getting the most out of each one. But now, she has graced us with a gift of learning how to bathe our skin in luxury.

This week on her Instagram stories, Ono showed us her night time skin care routine!

She expressed concerns for her dry skin and dark circles. She’s been very busy these last few months and said she hasn’t gotten much sleep. She feel like it shows. She still so cute, though! Of course she’s tired! She just launched her fashion collab with Eloquii!

Ulta has a shade finder to help you pick your color. Though there is a mix of neutral, warm, and cool shades, there seems to be a consistent pink tint to many of the colors. Even the ‘warm’ shades which seem fairly pink or orange.. I haven’t seen them in person to be totally certain. According to Smith + Cults description of the colors, they warm tones should lean yellow appear more orange.

“Melting” is the word that continuously circles the description of this foundation. It leads me to think that you may need the warmth of your fingers to best work this foundation into your skin.

Makeup for your Teeth? Pink, Platinum, + Yellow?? I’m Cringing.

@bufferingbetty

Because you don’t have rapper money and there’s a party tonight.

I am always one to say that makeup is fun in all forms. Changing up your look for a few hours is part of the self expressive nature of cosmetics. Getting a little weird with your makeup is always welcome. I, myself have green, blue, and neon lipsticks, frosty-funky color highlighter, and I have been itching to bleach my brows. Just for fun. But how weird is too weird? How far is too far in the realms of eccentric makeup?

Meet Chrom

Creators of temporary tooth polish. Like nail polish but for your teeth. YOUR TEETH!!!

“CHRŌM is a tooth polish, just like nail polish, that can be applied and removed in a matter of seconds, and lasts for up to 24 hours at a time. It doesn’t smudge when you're eating and has no taste” (source)

The colors

Ok. As Americans, we have a pretty basic standard for what teeth should look like. Our ideal is bright, white, straight, and clean teeth. (Lord, doesn’t that say so much, but I digress). So the Chrom tooth polish that makes the most sense to me is the “Pearly White” shade. Maybe you’ve been drinking too much coffee lately and it’s showing on your teeth. You have an event to attend and want brilliant white teeth to make your smile just that much more beautiful. But, with Chrom, you have the option of making your smile sparkle with glitter, with green teeth, and, yes, YELLOW.

This color is Glitterati Chrom. 1 of their 3 glittery shades. Can’t lie, I love glitter and this looks like something I’d give a try to. Maybe. While your teeth look brighter, they also look kind of dirty. But still not too bad.

Ok I almost bought Glitterati Party because this is just freaking cute.

No. No, sorry, Just no. Glitterati Gold looks like you ain’t brushed your teeth in 7 months. I almost called a lawyer to bring a lawsuit for causing me trauma and making my spine cringe!

source

Chrom toothpolish in Baby Blue and in Mint gave me some positive feels all over again. This is very appropriate for music festivals, laser shows, raves (are they still a thing), basically any party where there is a girl with a hula hoop, pigtails with yarn, and gemstones on her face.

But then this color happened.

24 Karat Toothpolish is cancelled. It looks like she caked Hot Cheetos on to her bottom teeth. It looks like her teeth have been replaced with Cheez-Its. It looks like the concept of a toothbrush had never been introduced. It looks so crazy, it changed history! Oy vey. Ay Dios. No puedo.

I’m weak.

And here we have Chrom tooth polish in Sunshine. Right.

When I was a kid, I remember my friends and I pressing silver gum wrappers on to our teeth and pretending we were rappers, singing lyrics no 9 year old should sing. I don’t know about other play grounds around the country, but on 104th between 2nd + 3rd Ave in NYC, that’s what we did. I remember we would also take the brown wrappers off a Reese’s peanut butter cup and wrap them around our teeth and pretend we were hillbillies.

Chrom Tooth Polish is just an extension of that. Playing pretend. Dressing up. Having fun. So I joke about how crazy some of the colors look, but in the end, it is just makeup.

Is it fashion or is it Corny?

Festival Make-up Trends:

Festival Make-up Trends

Urban Decay Electric Palette 49.00

I like to utilize this palette on the eyes on the lips and in the hair. This palette is made up of pressed pigments not shadow. So you get multipurpose you can use it for eyeshadow,wet and use for liquid liner or press into hair and use them hair color. 

BYOB Lippie Stix Colour Pop 6.00

In festival theme Bring Your Own Bottle by Colour Pop is a wash of color for the lip its bold and vibrant and has a smooth texture. I love straying away from super duper matte's when I have intense bright color eye make-up sometimes mattes look hard. Hard is the last thing that comes to my mind when describing tribal make-up 

All Nighter Spray Urban Decay 

I use all nighter because when working with bold colors you don't want them to transfer on clothing or sweat off and this completely water proof's everything.

After recently being featured in Artsy Magazine  in the Culture Issue N17 where I was given a 4 page spread displaying some of my favorite festival styles. I decided to share some of my favorite products I like to get the look. Products I find simple to recreate tribal looks you love that you may see trending on social media. I will also show a few tools I use. I'm finding women using tribal face make-up as an accessory and it really inspires me. No jewelry and tribal makeup headpieces as the accessory. 

There is something about tribal make-up and festivals that reminds me of being fun and care-free. I love colored liner tribal dots and vampish lips. crochet tops, high waisted shorts and slid on's. Theres something about women who can pull off bold make-up thats so intriguing. 

As of Lately I am also noticing cosmetic brands are keeping up with the trends by curating collections that embody the whole tribal festival make-up theme. Time to hide all my credits cards lol. 

Lime Crime Liquid Eyeliner 18.00

I love liquid eyeliner's when creating facial designs. Lime crime are my favorite because of the variety of pastels that they have. For women with deeper complexion. I LOVE to create Tribal Dots in soft blue or in a lime green shade. Orange and Shocking blue I LOVE for wing liner on fair complexions. I also use a traditional # 2 pencil for clean dots.  

Dream Catcher  Duo Chrome Effect Shadow 8.00

I love products that I get for multipurpose use. This chrome shadow can be used on the eyelids underneath your vibrant liner or this can be used on the cheeks as a flush of highlight. Down the nose bone or even on the brow bone. 

Duraline Inglot 11.00

Duraline I SWEAR BY! because with this product I can turn any shadow to gel liner as demonstrated in the opening blog photo. I used chaos from the electric palette and a very thin liner brush with Duraline. The product is extremely concentrated so you don't need lots of product a little goes a very long way. Duraline is also great when using glitter.
