Camouflage Your Scars With Tattoos
I was doing some research on camouflaging scars and ran into this website. What a great idea! its so simple but yet no one has really done it and if you can see the before and after pictures, it really works. I’ve read in a few articles of both men and women that have scars or pigmentation problems on their face that have gotten this done and it looks a hundred times better.
I have so many scars from when I was a child that I am now use to but I would consider camouflaging them, it looks great but what happens when you tan? I guess its better than a big white spot right?
How To Get Glowing Skin
In order to get a smooth, glowing, sun kissed look you got to use a few different blushes. I normally use about 3 different colors, a highlight, contour and blush with color. I start with the contour, a soft brown that will give your cheeks some definition, next blush on the apples of your cheek normally a peachy color, and finally a highlight on the high point of your cheek bones. Its makes a huge difference. Try it and let me know how it turns out.
Contour: soft brown to give cheeks definition (bone beige MAC)
Apples of cheek: a peachy color (Melba or MArgin MAC) with or without shimmer (this depends on your skin tone)
Highlight: I like to use Vanilla Pigment from MAC

My sister went to the Philippines in January and made a few designs that she is selling. Here are a few of them, they fit well and are really cute on. If any of you are interested, email me at alana@ladyartlooks.com
Avoid Sun Damage
Did you know that most of the sun damage you see on your face when your older (40’s+) happened early on in life around your 20’s… This is why sun block is very important!!! When you tan wear at least 15 spf .

Grammy Day
Yesterday I got asked to do Trey Songz mom’s makeup, I felt honored to do her makeup for the Grammy’s. Its weird how God really talks to you, and lets you know that you are on the right path. Makeup is my passion but sometimes it is slow and I think maybe I should try to do something else, then I ask him to give me a sign. Well… Yesterday he did. I ended up having to meet April, Trey Songz mom at a salon instead of the Hotel. When I walked in Keri Hilson was getting her hair done by Maisha Oliver. BTW I am a big fan, she is so sweet, and so beautiful. Well because I had to meet her at the salon I got to meet Keri and her people, and they asked me to go to her Hotel to do her moms and sisters makeup for the Grammy’s, words can’t express how I felt at that moment. Im so sad that she didn’t win but being nominated for a Grammy is already huge accomplishment in life.

Bijoux Bling
I ran across this beautiful ring here, but not only do I like the ring, I love the concept of the photo. Normally you see beautiful models wearing jewelry for their ads but they made this photo stand out by using black matte nail polish, and black paint around the fingers and palms. I LOVE IT!
Megan Fox Cat Eyes
On Friday, I will be finished editing another video. I will show you guys how to do winged liner, cat eyes with 3 different types of EYE LINERS, pencil, liquid ad gel. Keep checking back for updates.

Good Bye Jersey Shore
So this weekend my sis in law (not official, but she’s a sister to me, haha) Marina, were in the kitchen talking. All I remember was we were talking like we knew these people, OMG… he is so good to her and she is so rude, I can’t believe she did that to him, but they were cute together, I can’t believe they have only been together for a month, you think they are going to stay together? and all of a sudden my boyfriend walks into the room and asked “who are you talking about?” “umm Ronnie and Sammie” and thats when I realized that my life has been corrupted by the Jersey Shore. hahaha
I know were not the only ones right??? I’m gonna miss the fist pumping, Guidos, and Guidettes. I can’t wait for the next one! what am I going to do on Thursday nights now?
BTW I found this while I was trying to find a picture of Sammie and Ronnie together, it better not be real! Jersey Shore is definitely entertaining but who really gets these tattoos?
And if you missed the Reunion and don’t know what Im talking about you can watch it below.
Beauty Fact
Did you know that Egyptians were the first to cultivate beauty in an extravagant fashion. They used cosmetics as part of their personal beautification habits, for religious ceremonies, and in preparing the deceased for burial.

Beautiful Radiant Skin
1. Your skin can renew itself more effectively at night than during the day so make sure to keep your face well moisturized especially before bed.
2. To get rid of spots on your face use lavender or tea tree oil on those spots with a cotton swab.
3. To get instant radiant, glowing skin you can use a luminous moisturizer, my favorite is strobe creme from MAC.
