One woman who is undeniable, America's beauty icon is Michelle Obama. She is such a positive role model for the youth of today with her consistent efforts to address image issues in the country, especially for children are severely over weight with her "Let's Move" initiative. She has recently been mentioned in the news for wearing an outfit twice (isn't that normal???) and challenging Ellen Degeneres and Jimmy Fallon to a fitness matches.

Purple and Pink Makeup Tutorial

So, it has been highly requested that I do another makeup tutorial.  This has been one of the busiest weeks ever with the launch of so many new products, but I managed to crank this video out in the wee hours of the morning. Editing at 3am isn't the best idea... You'll see why. lol. I hope that if you can recreate this look, you'll look past the bluppers. Enjoy!

Makeup Tutorial

My Top 5 Favorites from Iman Cosmetics

1. Luminous Foundation in Clay.
My ultimate go-to product! I wear this in the center of my face to give me more of a bronze glow.















2. Wild Thing Luxury Moisturizing Lipstick.
This is one of my favorites for the Fall season.  A deep dark plum with a hit of red. I usually top it with Imans lip Shimmer Gloss in Decadent to give it a polished look. Gives off a sultry look.















3.Time Control Liquid Assets Oil-Free Gel Cleanser.
I use this product twice a day. It removes every trace of makeup and dirt I've had on my face all day (sounded really sexy there, right? lol).

4. Iman Bronzing Powder in Afterglow.
This should be a staple product for every makeup artist train or kit! I use this for everything from eyeshadow to blush. It's another go-to product.

5. Iman Travel Palettes: St. Tropez and Cote d'Azur.

I never leave town without these and you shouldn't, too! I have everything I need to go from natural to glam. These palettes also pack nicely in my purse if I'm on the go! I wrote a former post about them because I loved them so much! Check out the close up pics!
