I created this look from inspiration of a youtube tutorial on face masks. I had never done one. This look was for my senior project at Aveda Institute Los Angeles which I graduated in 2011. I had so much fun. I love just going with the creative flow bouncing off vibes of the model as well. This was fun and playful. I wish I would have brought my own makeup though. I had to use what was there. So no gel eyeliner and lashes. I used synthetic hair and curled and teased her own natural hair.
New Year's Eve is pretty much a formal occasion. A time to wear your hair up or glam waves. Make up is usually more on the glittery side. And of course your dress is short, sexy and festive.
Here are some ideas on what to wear for your night on the town.
Dress!!
If you go with a black dress, animal print shoes and red lipstick can give it a pop.
Also love all that glitters!!! NYE you can get away with these dresses, so why not?!
These black dresses are classy and chic.
If you don't have money to get an expensive dress. I would suggest a little black dress, strapless, halter or tank style. I am sure Forever XI or H&M has lots of stuff. Actually they do. Even the glittery dresses!
Makeup!!

Perfect Red Lips tutorial
If you plan on doing a simple eye makeup and red lipstick. Try this trick of putting either concealer over your lips first to neutralize the color or white eyeliner!!! I am going to try this myself.
A genius who designed way before his time. Visionary. He is missed.
I love the way he was rebellious with the traditional fashion views and only went by his own personal views and they were not influenced by outsiders. Brave. Taking risks is really a key role to being successful. Playing safe is predictable and boring. To truly innovate and invent you must think outside the box and not replicate. This is hard. But in the end it is the ultimate win. Alexander is an inspiration. His provocative and powerful pieces were magical and movie-like.
The way he worked is some what the way I thought he would. He was constantly thinking and his mind was working but it seemed like he was at rest doing nothing. Then he designed his whole collection in one day. One. I really do believe that if you have your family behind you on the things you want to do it matters. His family supported him from a young age on becoming a designer. As his father was a cab driver and so were most of his other family members. For him to go the entirely other way was - daring and courageous. Marching to his own drum. Fashion icon - forever.

For a man that has a day job of creating meticulously designed haute couture collections for Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld seems to have a ton of time on his hands for various off-piste collections, the designer has created a limited edition Christmas collection for the brand, featuring a Karl shaped eye palette, nail polishes in black and gold and an ever-so-chic makeup bag with Lagerfeld’s portrait and signature embossed on the front.
From the eye shadow palette where each shade is shaped like Karl, to the nail polish (gold and black, obviously–please do a full nail polish collection, Karl!), it is kitschy Karl at his finest. His new fragrance Karleidoscope is available now, too. However, we will all have to admire this collection from afar, because it will only be available at Sephora in Europe and Singapore, starting November 6.
Fingers crossed they open a store in the USA soon. Available in Europe and Singapore only.
Take a look at Karl Lagerfeld’s cosmetics collection for Sephora.
