Musings of a City Girl

So excited to be in the May 2010 issue of Seventeen. This is my favorite look so far!  The  shoot was around December/January and the makeup artist and hair stylist (although you can’t see much of the hair) did a fabulous job.  Head to your local newsstand and pick up the issue because without your support I would not be there.

Check out my celebrity inspired makeup tutorial created exclusively for Seventeen. This look was inspired by one of my favorite Rihanna makeup looks that she wore to the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards in 2008.

Check out a picture of the inspiration after the jump:

Check out my exclusive Golden Goddess Look for Prom I created for Seventeen.

If you are a high school senior, prom may seem like it is forever from now, but it is not too early to start practicing and experimenting with makeup looks for that special night.

Not going to prom? Prom was “four score and seven years ago” ha ha ha? No worries, you can rock this look for any special occasion or just for fun.

Take the look to the next level with a bold red lip.

Just wanted to let you know that I am in the November issue of Seventeen magazine. Thank you for watching my videos and making this a possibility! Elle aka AllThatGlitters21 is also featured in the article titled “shake up your makeup!” It is all about having fun with color.

The shoot was fun as always. We had to pack on the cheek color to really get it to stand out in the photograph. I was looking cah-razy, but you need a heavy hand for a camera to pick up blush.

The issue, with Kristen Stewart as the cover-girl, is scheduled to hit newsstands on October 20th, 2009.

My Seventeen video tutorial on how to get the fullest coverage out of your liquid foundation using a duo fibre brush.

I wear foundation when I do tutorials so that my skin looks good in pictures. Even models with perfect skin have foundation applied to their skin for photographs and to reach a desired effect.

August issue of Seventeen

I’m so excited to tell you that I am in the August issue of Seventeen magazine! This would not have been possible without all of your wonderful support so thank you!

I am part of their Beauty Smarties project. They found 10 real girls on YouTube and we will be creating exclusive videos for them on their website. You can check my video on how to get flawless summer skin on their website. While you’re there you can also check out a behind the scenes video of a photo shoot that four of the Beauty Smarties (including me yay!) took part in this spring in New York.

Many of my viewers raved about the makeup I wore in my Top  10 eye shadow video, that was the makeup from the photo shoot, I did not want to take it off when the shoot was done lol.

It was an amazing experience. I would like to thank everyone who made that day great and made me look fab: Meredith from Seventeen, Kelli from Seventeen, Bradley who did my hair, Keiko who did my makeup, Ana who fixed my nails, Sarra Fleur the photographer, the stylist and everyone else who made it happen.
