America’s Next Top Model Season 23 – Episode 4 Recap

“Brand yourself and be self-made” was the most profound statement during last night’s episode of America’s Next Top Model.

Cast members were asked to create a Snapchat message based upon tips from DJ Khaled.  This was a fun challenge allowing contestants to wear lingerie (in the street) and engage with their social media audience.

Conflict emerged between Binta and Courtney while creating their message. Courtney won the challenge; resulting in a surge of resentment from Binta.

The last photo challenge (during this episode) required contestants to attend a party hosted by Paper Magazine and tell a photo story.

Krislian shocked the judges with her editorial photos, stepping out of her comfort zone. There was also a visit from Jasmine Sanders, Instagram Socialite from @golden_barbie

America’s Next Top Model Season 23 – Episode 3 Recap

Last night on America’s Next Top Model the contestants received their signature makeovers.  Cast members were encouraged to be comfortable with their bodies; participating in a nude photo shoot with renown photographer Ellen Von Unwerth.

 

 

Everyone did not have the same level of enthusiasm while others embraced their new hair change. According to the panelist, Courtney, Tash, and Paige had the best model makeovers.

Cherish was uncomfortable with the challenge; refusing to dye her hair.  She was eliminated due to the awkwardness of her challenge photos.

Next week contestants will learn “key steps” to social media branding from DJ Khaled and Jasmine Sanders.

America’s Next Top Model Season 23 – Episode 1 Recap

America’s Next Top Model returned for a new season in New York City.  Rita Ora served as the host for this season’s challenge along with co-hosts Ashley Graham, Drew Elliott, and Law Roach.

After years of being a fan of the series, I was excited to see a new panel. Each panelist provided guidance and mentorship to the contestants.  ANTM Hosts also shared expectations of each model along with insight into the fashion industry.

ANTM Recap:

Last night’s episode was an introduction of each contestant; sharing their background and taking photos for the first challenge.

I enjoyed the selection process and uniqueness of each contestant. There was also a range of (beauty) diversity from natural hair, full eyebrows, and a set twins.

The selection process was not based on being a pretty face but the ability to become a fashion brand.  What does that mean? Contestants should exemplify the concept of having beauty and brains!

Get The Look: Rita Ora in Rimmel London at the Nocturnal Animals Premiere

The Look: Bold and sultry

The Inspiration: Celebrity Makeup Artist Kathy Jeung was inspired by the singer, actress and Rimmel London Ambassador’s dramatic black Tom Ford tunic, opting for strong bronzed eyes, bronzed cheeks and a pale lip.

How to Get the Look:

SKIN

To begin, Kathy applied Rimmel London Fix & Perfect Pro Primer to prep and prime skin for makeup. She then used Rimmel London Hide the Blemish Concealer in Light Beige to conceal dark circles, brushing Rimmel London Match Perfection Concealer in Light/Medium on top, gently patting and blending the two together with her ring finger. Next, she applied Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation in Sand, blending into Rita’s skin with a makeup brush and a damp makeup sponge. Kathy then set Rita’s foundation with a light dust of Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Silky Beige and finished by applying Rimmel London Kate Sculpting Kit in Golden Sands to her cheeks.

LIPS

Kathy prepped Rita’s lips with Rimmel London Lip Conditioning Balm by Kate to add moisture and to prime lips for color. Next, she lined Rita’s lips with Rimmel London Exaggerate Lip Liner in Innocent and finished by applying Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick in First Class Nude.

EYES & BROWS

The base of Rita’s strong eye was the NEW Rimmel London Magnif’Eyes Palette in London Calling. Kathy applied a matte beige shade to the browbone and a deep bronze to the lid and crease, blending outwards towards the temples. Along the upper and lower lashline, Kathy drew a thin line with Rimmel London Magnif’eyes Double Ended Shadow & Liner in Back to Blacks, smudging it into the lashline. Next, she used the same liner to line the inner rims of the eyes. To lift the outer corners of the eyes, Kathy applied a flick of Rimmel London Colour Precise Eyeliner in Black. To add a touch of bronze to the lower lash line, she applied Rimmel London ScandalEyes Shadow Stick in Bad Bronze. Finally, Kathy finished Rita’s eyes by applying a few coats of Rimmel London ScandalEyes Mascara in Black to upper and lower lashes.

Kathy enhanced Rita’s brows by applying Rimmel London Brow This Way Brow Sculpting Kit in Blonde, brushing her brows into place, filling and shaping them.

Remove Dark Circles and Blemishes – Concealer

Concealer is a necessary beauty product that everyone should own in their makeup arsenal.  It refreshes the eyes while removing dark under-eye circles.

Corrective Makeup (also known as Concealer) serves an aid to give the appearance of even skin.  Have you ever noticed a blemish and needed to attend a meeting the next day?  If purchased in the right shade, this particular product will eliminate the issue.

A few additional tricks one could use with concealer application includes applying on the eyelids to eliminate shadow flacking; sponge on the bra area for décolletage definition, dab a small amount to the brow bone for highlighting the arch; and shape the lips with a small brush.

One of the most important tips when purchasing a new concealer is selecting the correct shade. It’s a tedious task and if you’re not a makeup enthusiast, please visit the local counter for assistance. Additional suggestions include –

  1. Use a shade that’s lighter than your natural skin complexion. This is very important when eliminating blemishes or dark spots.
  2. For brown girls, purchase a concealer in the shade of your undertone (either yellow or orange.)  For example, I have red undertones and wear an orange concealer underneath my eyes.
  3. BUT – for dark circles, go one shade darker than your normal concealer color.
  4. ALWAYS apply moisturizer, foundation, and then concealer!  Do not skip this step because your face could potentially break out or look chalky.

In my opinion, I encourage makeup enthusiasts to use a brush or beauty blender sponge for concealer application.  The brush will maneuver inside of the eye crease and Beauty Blender gives a flawless look.  Also, let me know (here) what are your favorite concealer brands!
