Get The Look: Cara Delevingne at Comic Con – Suicide Squad

Who: Rimmel London Ambassador Cara Delevingne at the 2016 Comic Con Panel for Suicide Squad

The Look: Feminine with an edge

The Inspiration: Celebrity Makeup Artist Molly R. Stern wanted the actress, supermodel and Rimmel London Ambassador to look feminine with an outline of a “comic con” edge. To compliment Cara’s outfit, Molly focused on a really strong blue eye and beautiful glowing skin.

How to Get the Look:

SKIN

To begin, Molly prepped Cara’s skin with a refreshing spritz of Caudalie Beauty Elixir and then massaged in Oxygen Serum by Natura Bisse. Next, she applied the oxygen cream by Natura Bisse.

Molly applied Rimmel London BB Cream Matte in Medium to give her a sheer glow. Then, she softly contoured her cheeks and flushed her apples using the Rimmel London Sculpting and Highlighting Kit by Kate Moss in Golden Bronze.

LIPS

Molly painted on Rimmel London Provocalips 16HR Kissproof Lip Color in Dare to Pink for a soft, nude-y pink finish.

EYES & BROWS

On the eyes, Molly first applied a thin layer of Scandaleyes Shadow Stick in Bluffing on the entire lid. She then lined with eye with a combo of electric blue using the Magnif’eyes Double Ended Shadow and Liner in Dark Side of Blue and turquoise using the Scandaleyes Shadow Stick in Teasing Turquoise. To finish off, the smoked out her lower lash line with a taupe shadow.

To enhance her gorgeous brows, Molly used the Rimmel London Brow This Way Sculpting Kit in Blonde. Next, she applied 2 coats of the Rimmel London Volume Flash Super Speed Mascara in Extreme Black.

ABOUT ARIANA GRANDE

Within less than a year, ARIANA GRANDE captured #1 on the Billboard Top 200 twice—first with her Republic Records debut Yours Truly and also with its 2014 follow-up My Everything.

Yours Truly yielded the game-changing pop smash “The Way” featuring Mac Miller, which went triple-platinum, landed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, and seized #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Songs chart. Meanwhile, the platinum-selling My Everything garnered a Grammy Award nomination for “Best Pop Vocal Album” and spawned the six times-platinum hit “Problem.” Upon the single’s release, ARIANA became “the youngest woman to debut with over 400K sold first-week,” while the song ranked as the 5th “highest digital song debut for a female artist” and 9th highest ever. Moreover, it debuted at #1 in 85 countries, topping the iTunes Overall Top Songs and Pop Songs charts for four weeks. During release week, My Everything was #1 on Spotify as ARIANA personally rose to #1 on Billboard‘s Artists 100 chart. She also became the first woman in history and the first artist since Michael Jackson to simultaneously have three songs—”Problem,” “Break Free” featuring Zedd, and “Bang Bang” with Nicki Minaj and Jessie J—in the Top 6 of the Digital Songs Chart. “Bang Bang” went platinum and was Grammy-nominated for “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.” By the end of the year, she landed four songs in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, the most of any artist in 2014 ARIANA has enjoyed five Hot 100 Top 10 smashes.

In 2013, she was named “Best New Artist” at the American Music Awards. Other accolades followed with ARIANA winning “Favorite Breakout Artist” at the People’s Choice Awards 2014, the “Young Influencer Award” at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, the “Radio Disney Chart Topper Award,” “Choice Female Artist” and “Choice Single” “Problem” at the 2014 Teen Choice Awards, and more. At the 2014 MTV VMAS, “Problem” was named “Best Pop Video” as well. In November, ARIANA took home the award for “Favorite Female Artist – Pop/Rock” at the 2015 American Music Awards.

2016 sees her release her mega-anticipated third full-length album, Dangerous Woman, driven by the title track which captured #1 on both iTunes Overall Top Songs Chart and Top Pop Songs Chart minutes after release. “Dangerous Woman” also debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 earning her the distinction of becoming the first artist to debut on the chart with the lead single from her first three albums.

Belli Skincare Stretchmark Minimizing Cream – Review

After having kids and experiencing life changes, we all have stretch marks. This is a sensitive topic (for women) because it’s difficult to find a product that reduces the appearance of uneven skin and imperfections.

As a blogger, I will admit that I’ve tested a few drugstore products. The best advice I can share is to create a “stretchmark” regimen and be patient when seeking results.

Review:

I was asked to review the Stretchmark Minimizing Cream from Belli Skincare. The company’s known for creating products that support pregnancy and early motherhood. According to the site, ” while expecting their first child, the founders of Belli became very discouraged trying to find safe and effective skincare. This prompted the husband and wife team to marry their expertise, Medical Doctor and Beauty Expert, and develop the trifecta of maternity skincare – ingredient safety, effective solutions with clinically proven ingredients, and luxurious formulations with aromatherapy to provide a spa-like experience.”

After reviewing the product, I am happy to share this is an amazing cream! The texture is light with visible appearances of hydration. It’s stated (on the company site) that the minimizing cream has natural ingredients and helps to even out the skin tone. It also smells nice and can be applied anytime during the day. I have used the product for a few weeks and confident it will provide wonderful results!

The cream can be purchased online or in store at Nordstrom and Ulta.com See more information about the product below:

Stretchmark Minimizing Cream from Belli Skincare (www.belliskincare.com), which is specially formulated to decrease the appearance of existing stretchmarks of any age, regardless of the cause? The Cream features darutoside & regisstril, ingredients shown in research studies conducted by Phybiotex Labs, Sederma Group, France, 1997 to visibly reduce the appearance of stretch mark depth by up to 72% and stretch mark length by up to 52%. SRP $49.00

GET THE LOOK:

FACE:
I started with clean and moisturized skin before applying Black Opal True Color Perfecting Primer. I used a wedge sponge starting from the inner parts of the face, moving outward.
Then, I applied Black Opal True Color Stick Foundation in Rich Caramel with a foundation brush only on areas that needed coverage to even out her complexion.
Black Opal Flawless Perfecting Concealer in Tan was applied onto the under-eye area and brow bone to give a natural, clean lift to brows. I then set her face with Black Opal Invisible Oil-Blocking Powder.
To contour and sculpt the face, I used Black Opal Color Splurge Eye Satin Matte duo in Bordeaux Bliss. Using a fluffy crease brush, the darker color softly contoured as the lighter shade created a soft lift on the tops of her cheekbones.

EYES:
I used the same Color Splurge Eye Satin Matte duo in Bordeaux Bliss, using the lighter shade on the lids and darker shade on the outer corner of the eyes to create a blended out, smoldering look.
With a thin liner brush, I created a cat winged eyeliner look with Black Opal Luxe Crème Liner in Onyx.
To finish the look, brows were shaped and groomed with Black Opal Precision Eye Definer in Coffee Bean.
