Beauty: Alexander McQueen Fall 2007 Ready-to-Wear


Let's face it, all of us have adored British designer Alexander McQueen's creative fashion. Even me! Alexander McQueen's Fall 2007 Ready-to-Wear collection was inspired by witchcraft, paganism... So, ever wanted to resemble the look of one of the models that modeled the collection? If yes, now's the time.

The model I am going to steal the look from is Vlada Roslyakova.

I love how the make-up looks on her. I am jealous.








Step 1.

Getting the right hairstyle.

Getting the right hairstyle can be tricky, because Stardoll definitely hasn't provided me with enough hairstyles. The one on the right is the closest to Vlada's. In order to start recreating the look, you have to remove all of the make-up. Just like I did. (Picture above)



Step 2.

Bold & Big eyebrows! (No, they aren't like Ugly Betty's)


I am sure you noticed from the picture that the model's eyebrows are a little bold and more dramatic. From all the eyebrows Stardoll offered me, I selected these. If you don't like them, use ones that you like better.

Step 3.

Make-up time!



Start by using this, but use it gently in the beginning of the eyes. It looks much better this way. After all, my goal isn't Cleopatra, it's McQueen. I agree, this detail maybe is Clepatra-esque, and it does have an Egyptian essence, but again, we're making McQueen.



The next step is to apply a little from the teal-blue-aqua eyeshadow. After you do that, grab the dark grey eyeshadow, and apply it over the previously applied teal-blue-aqua eyeshadow, and after that apply even some more of the teal-blue-aqua eyeshadow.



The result is as good as the original. I love the BOLD make-up.

See for yourself, and enjoy!

Make-Up Extrodinaire

I never really though that I would find anything like this, but yeah, I did. I had never seen a person on Stardoll.com to try to have an edgy, avant-garde look. Everyone's MeDoll is pretty-pretty (as Tyra Banks would say). Well, I believe that's about to change.


As I was checking out suites, came a across a girl (whose name I don't even know, just the username) N1mka4eva. Her look is so edgy, avant-garde, Haute Couture, original, creative, even with a traditional twist! I love the Geisha-inspired look.

Edgy is IN! Plus, is not boring at all.

Beauty: Chanel Fall 2008 Haute Couture

All of us have dreams... Some want to be lawyers, some want to be fashion designers, some want to be teachers. Well, if any of you want to be models for Karl Lagerfeld's iconic brand, Chanel, today's your lucky day. Don't get all excited, you won't model for Chanel! You can just get the look of the models from the Fall 2008 Couture collection of Chanel. Ready?


This is a beauty post!
OK, here we go.

Step 1.

The first thing to do, is to select a hairstyle very similar to the hairstyles from the runway. I selected these three.

1. I certainly believe that the first hairstyle is the most similar to the hairstyle from the fashion show. I chose this haircolor, because it's very close to the one that the model has (but, you don't really have to use this haircolor).

2. The second hairstyle is for those that prefer a look that is a bit more messy, but I wouldn't really suggest it to anyone. After all, it's Chanel. It's not supposed to be messy.

3. The third hairstyle can also be used to represent the one from the picture even though it's not that same.

I selected hairstyle #1. From now on, I will be using that one in the following pictures.

Step 2.

Step 2, is for choosing the lipstick. We can all see that, the model is using a soft and neutal pink tone for her lips. So, it was an easy desicion to select the perfect lipstick. Even, you don't even need to spend a Stardollar on it. It can be found in the Styling Studio. Here is it:

Step 3.

It's make-up time!

Use the black Sephora Eyepencil, but to get the look shown below, use it only in the middle of the eye. Don't use it on the sides.

By using the blue Sephora eyeshadow, you can get the look below. Use it only around the eyes, and don't go up to the eyebrows.

Now, get the dark grey eyeshadow (not the black one from Kat Von D), and apply it over the blue one.

The result is just amazing!
