The Modern Flapper

Bonjour mes amis!! Closing up the month with a bang, today's post features my fourth installment in collaboration with Caviar Noir Jewelry. I've gotten so much positive feedback from you guys on the first three posts (see Caviar Noir: Kashmir, Angelique & Morocco) that I'm thinking of making these posts (jewelry/makeup collabs) a permanent fixture here on Maryam Maquillage. What do you think? I am also ecstatic to report back to Julie, the creative force behind Caviar Noir, that her signature pieces are the talk of Blogger-town!!

On to the good stuff :)

Just a little bit MOD

Salut mes amis! So I chopped my hair yet again... figuratively, of course, via a short and mod wig sent to me by my friends at KKcenterHK. Today's look is a blast from the past, taking on the 1960's MOD era. My version of MOD makeup and hair was inspired by many muses and I'm channeling a little bit of each one in this heavily pictorial post/spread. Read more to see my inspiration!

Mad for Mod? You betcha!

Vintage Funk with a Retro Edge

Salut chicas!!!

Joyeux Weekend!!! Hope you've all had a productive week and are now relaxing to your heart's content. I'm not, as of yet, but I will be soon :)) A big thank you to all of you who have been so supportive of my bloggy thus far, thanks for your kind words, thoughtful comments, awesome requests and great questions!! I've had so much fun reading and responding. Keep them coming, because as much as this blog is for me, it is also (and mostly) for you :))

My look of the day is from Christina Aguilera's new video Not Myself Tonight and it is another long awaited request from an ooold friend. In this video, Xtina is being her typical dirrrty self, thrusting her person and invading your space, but her makeup is en pointe. There are several distinct looks in the video, but the requested makeup was the one where she's wearing curled bangs and a ponytail a la the 50's. This look is actually my favorite from the video, and I think it's probably the easiest to replicate. So, let's get started!!!

bisous,
