One of the looks she’s recreated regularly for Solange is the signature “war stripe” Solo often sports across her eyes (she did the above one for Solange’s appearance on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon”). Below, Jackie gives us the *exclusive* scoop on how to paint it on yourself, along with recommended products for each step!
*********
1. First: make sure to do your foundation. Recommended: Korres Organic Primer, MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation.

2. Contour, highlight, and, of course, bronze the face. Add a pop of light colored blush. Recommended: NARS Bronzing Powder in Casino, NARS Blush in Lovejoy.

3. Select a creamy eye makeup in any color. Using an angled eye makeup brush, apply it between the eyes. Start at the center of the nose as both a guide and to achieve a perfect line across the eyes. Make sure to go a little under the crease of the eye for a thin and sexy line! Recommended: MAC Paint Pot.

4. Once you’re done applying the cream color, take a liquid eyeliner and apply it as close to the lash line as possible. Recommended: Makeup Forever Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner.

5. After the eyeliner dries, curl the lashes and add on 3 coats of mascara. Apply lash extensions for a fuller effect. Recommended: MAC #7 Lashes.

6. Finally, use a nude pencil to line the lips and apply sheer gloss to balance the look. Recommended: Korres Cherry Lipgloss in #37 (Golden Beige Shimmer).

Who Wore it Better? Kerry vs. Rihanna in Louis Vuitton

Who doesn’t love a little Louis V? Rihanna and Kerry Washington both seem to be fans of the line’s Fall 2009 skirt:

rihanna-kerry-washington-louis-vuitton

Rihanna wore the piece in raspberry for the Third Annual OKMS Gala, and Kerry chose cream for an event in Cannes.

I like Rihanna’s pop of color, but Kerry’s shoe choice is a much better look in my book.

Let them Eat Cupcakes: Swedish Photogs Bake Fashion Inspired Desserts

Swedish photog Therese Aldgård and prop stylist Lisa Edsälv decided to bake and photograph cupcakes in designer style. Apparently it took them three days to fashion these yummy creations inspired by Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Betsey Johnson, Agent Provocateur, and Christian Louboutin:

We all saw Sheree with her Louis Vuitton cake, but for some reason this idea seems a tad more classy. Don’t you think?

I’m drooling just looking at them!

Real Style : Gibus

Hey Guys!

So this weekend, I hit up a party for a French rapper called Disiz:

disiz-gibus

It was at a cool club called Gibus (www.gibus.fr) by Place de la Republique. I didn’t have my camera with me (shame!), but did get a few friends to snap some Real Style. Check it:

Kanye West’s presence is felt even overseas…

These girls were so sweet! I liked young lady on the left’s jumper and hair, and the exotic print skirt on the right.

I spied lots of oversized t-shirts, but appreciate this guy’s nod to Vogue!

Can’t go wrong with sunglasses inside and a cute swept up do…

Lastly, these girls represented in sunglasses and fun t’s. Cute looks for a great night!
