Black Porn Star Look? Black glam Look? Let me Know?
Good Afternoon Ladies,
I want to post my first Tut
However I want to post a tut that beneficial to black women that have trouble achieving a certain look. I myself am a huge fan of the Porn star look(smokey eyes nude full lips etc) and I have noticed it is very difficult to find a tut for this particular look especially for Dark black chicks. I also love the glammed up looks that I have spent an eternity perfecting (Playboy style makeup, 30's looks you get the point) I was wondering are there any request?.... Once again I work for Mac and own My own Cosmetic Biz so I know what a thing or two......I would like to hear your idea's the challenging the better  Please send me idea's for only the looks that you find the most difficult for black women to achieve Non black Chicks can hit me too I love all women however Sista's get at me  !!!!!
*******May you live to see the dawn********

Re: Black Porn Star Look? Black glam Look? Let me Know?
As will "Eye"!!  ....my corny self.
Ohhh...you know what would be good?
A nice subtle "I have on make-up, but not overdone" kind of look.
I don't know about the rest of yall, but I sometimes struggle trying to pull of a nice neutral look. It's either too much or not enough.

Re: Black Porn Star Look? Black glam Look? Let me Know?
A smokey green or smokey blue eye with toned down lips that are not brown neutral but a soft pink/fleshy pink neutral. I'm NC45 BTW.
A gold or metallic look would be hot. Something to rock to tha club
Also, maybe a tut where the emphasis is on highlighting the cheekbones. I would love to see a non-matte look on a WoC as well as something dewy and fresh w/o lookin greasy. Thanks for offering to do this

Re: Black Porn Star Look? Black glam Look? Let me Know?
You know what is hard? Contouring. I would love to see instructions on how to lightly contour the nose, face and cheeks. I have seen some contouring done by Kevin Aucion and Sam Fine but it was to elaborate and time consuming for everyday use by a non-makeup artist.

Re: Black Porn Star Look? Black glam Look? Let me Know?
Glam makeup= Awesomness, porn star makeup= dried up coke whore to me. I've seen some of the most horrible, unflattering makeup on adult actresses in general. However, the glam/ pin up look is great and classic.
Anyways, something I'd really like to see that I don't see whole lot of on anyone is a bold metallic look, NOT using neutral and earthy colors. More like jewel tones. That'd be great to see imo.

Re: Black Porn Star Look? Black glam Look? Let me Know?
Kinda OT but the few times I've seen Black adult stars made up, they look like absolute shit! Ashy colors, half-assed complexion...it disgusts me! They make the lighter women look so glamorous and pristine and leave us out. So I'd love for you to show a tut of what you would do for makeup on a woman of color, since evidently Vivid Video or whoever can't afford a decent artist. Show 'em a thing or two; shit pisses me off!

New products:

Pale: N27 and Dim : N37
Pro Longlash in Fleshtone
Shaping Powder - A micro-fine shaping powder formulated with soft focus technology that accents and emphasizes the high planes of the face. More subtle than many highlighters, these are the ideal shade complement to M•A•C Pro Sculpting Powder. Available in single pans or as a Pro palette.
Emphasize: Off white with fine pearl
Accentuate: Peachy beige with fine pearl
Lightsweep: Warm beige with fine pearl
Soft Focus: Plantain yellow gold
Warm Light: Clean Peach
Sculpting Powder - A powder specially tinted to enhance natural bone structure and sculpt contours into the face. Immaculately shaded to create natural-looking shadow effects, the finish is sheer and matte. Available in single pans or as a Pro palette.
Sculpt - Soft taupe matte
Bone Beige - Soft warm brown matte
Shadowy - Deep Brown matte
Definitive - Midtone reddish brown
Shadester - Midtone leathery brown

Randy Rose posted this in the MAC CHAT forum…..I would like to know how to sculpt and contour, too--perhaps using these products. Does any MAC artist know which Shaping and Sculpting powder would be used on an NW45 complexion? [BTW, the nearest pro-store is 8 hrs away; so I can’t go and check these products out myself.]
I’m not interested in the lip erasers or Pro Longlash in Fleshtone.

And thanks for offering to help this dark-girl out....

I ordered the warm peach highlighter and Shadowy sculpting powder from a seller on eBay. I am about a NW50 in Mac and R9 in Era Classified Spray foundation. I am crossing my fingers that they will work.

Re: Black Porn Star Look? Black glam Look? Let me Know?
I love the 50's/housewife glam look of the model with the curlers! I'd be really interested in seeing a 'sexy librarian/bookworm' look for someone with glasses.

Re: Black Porn Star Look? Black glam Look? Let me Know?
^^^ Seriously, I was looking so forward to seeing a WOC super glam look, so I hope you do so.
I might even do one in the future... but don't count on it! :/
