DAILY DIVA: Divatron

Was coerced into seeing Tron this week and despite myself (I'm an indie/foreign film kind of girl), really enjoyed it. More for the wardrobe and makeup than the storyline, but still -- it was entertaining. Loved the character Gem! So I decided to ditch the Daily Diva...

DAILY DIVA: Soft Sparkle

Can holiday makeup be natural? Absolutely! Here I used shimmering light golds and browns on the eyes, tons of mascara, a "lit from within" illuminator/bronzer combination on cheek plus a pretty peach on lip. It doesn't have to include glitter, a red pout or false...

DAILY DIVA: Ugly Chic

DAILY DIVA: Ugly Chic

I saw this Sherlock Holmes meets Japanese geisha cape in H&M not long ago while in LA for work. It was sort of hideous, and yet strangely hot. Falling into the confusing category I like to call Ugly Chic. I had to have it. And did I mention it was only about $60?...

DAILY DIVA: 90s Neon

As a girl who grew up on Yo MTV Raps, I was BEYOND excited for Funkmaster Flex's birthday party at Goldbar. Instead of gangsta gold chains, I did a gold eye and gold highlighter - popped with 90s neon pink. So fun! Note - I did not, of course, wear this work-from-home...
