Am I scaring you?
Do not, this is just the magic of make up & photography!
Last year my crew and I have published the first #TEB's Halloween special, where as you remember I was turned into a spooky doll by #TEB's make up guru Marta : check the photoshoot HERE.
This year we have decided to take a more practical direction by providing you all some last minute make up inspirations for tonight : unless you are going to dress up as superheroes, music icons or unicors, I guess this will be quite useful.
Are you ready?
Let's have a look at what Marta's gifted hands have created:

BEAUTY TIPS by Marta #1
Nothing too
refined or garish for Versace's Fall 2015 Couture runway make-up: make-up
guru Pat McGrath presented a clean, fresh yet bright look,
perfect to highlight the models' natural beauty.
Niente di troppo ricercato e
appariscente nel make up presentato sulla passerella autunnale della collezione couture di Versace: la guru del make-up
Pat McGrath propone un look pulito, fresco ed allo
stesso tempo luminoso, perfetto per far risaltare la bellezza naturale delle
modelle.
This is a time-saving make-up, just perfect when you are in a
hurry, and also an “anti-humidity” make-up, so popular on Youtube nowadays.
Lo definirei un make up
salva-tempo, da fare in 5 minuti la mattina quando non si ha molto tempo, ma
non si vuole rinunciare ad un velo di trucco sul viso (giusto per non sembrare
uno dei protagonisti di The
Walking Dead) oppure perché no, un make up anti-umidità come quelli
che si trovano ultimamente su YouTube.
Let's take a look:
Diamo un'occhiata:
Face: a very
natural skin tone, where all is needed is a touch of blush to minimize
paleness.
Viso: ci troviamo di fronte ad un
incarnato completamente pulito (come mamma l'ha fatta), dove compare solamente
un velo di blush, giusto per eliminare il pallore.
Eyes: a light green and gold smokey eye, to highlight the iris
without eye pencils or eyeliners.
Occhi: un leggerissimo smokey
eye sui toni del verde e dell'oro per far risaltare le iridi della
modella; notate l'incredibile sensualità e profondità conferita allo sguardo
senza l'utilizzo di matite o eyeliner!
Lips: super
natural, just a little bit of gloss to bring volume
Bocca: super naturale, giusto un
velo di gloss per dare volume alle labbra.
I tried to
reproduce the make-up on Stella, using more affordable products: take notes,
here's my advice to help you copy this look!
Ho provato a ripodurre il make-up su Stella utilizzando prodotti più a buon mercato: prendete nota, ecco i miei
consigli per riprodurre questo look!

From Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Iman, Kate Moss, Mariacarla Boscono and Gemma Ward, to Natasha Poly, Adriana Lima, Cara Delevigne, Joan Smalls, Jourdan Dunn & Karlie Kloss: we could go on for hours listing the names of the women that have turned modeling into a real profession, proving to the world that a model can 'run the world', one runway at the time!
While many of these icons and top models are still slaying the show-business with new inspiring projects, a new legion of rising star is born: looking back at the latest fashion week, MsD & I have selected the most sought after models of the SS 16 season.
These girls have managed to stand out on the runways, book the largest number of shows and gain popularity on social media: no instagirls here, let's meet the real models, who have slayed the latest fashion week!
"Life is too short to wear boring accessories"
Can I get an 'amen' for this quote?
As much as I favour simple silhouettes in clothing, I have also proved to you my insane love for loud accessories and unique ones, perfect to enhance an outfit and your mood as well.
Need an example? Just take a look at your phone’s case: whether funny or not it does reflect your character and improve your mood anytime you look at it.
I have embraced this philosophy on a warm Sunday afternoon, when I dolled myself up for test shoots around the city with #TEB’s photography-talent Phranci: the light was good, the outfit on point, the camera ready…only my character needed an injection of confidence & casualness to strike poses in public and deliver good pictures!
How did I overcome shyness?
TOO LATE's accessories & 3 easy steps!
I know it sounds fancy, but there is no limit to the power of Made-in-Italy fashionable goods, take a look:
1) Music
To be honest the right playlist can even turn traffic jam into to your “happy place”: I have made my statement matching my earphones to my Clubber mod. single bracelet, the first music-jewel designed by Too Late.
wearing: CLUBBER MOD. SINGLE
2) Energy
Since starving will not take you anywhere, between takes I tried to enjoy a sweet juice (apple, carrot and ginger: my new essential!) and shift to a more romantic bracelet for the following pictures: chic butterflies at my wrist thanks to 2L8 LAB Voilà collection.
wearing: 2L8LAB VOILA' bracelet (mod. Butterfly Acquamarine)& 3D HANDBAG
3) Have Fun!
Working with natural light is beautiful but also challenging: do not waste time, because once the sun is gone there is no turning back!
Sometimes the best way to avoid being stressed about the timing is to free your mind, smile and let your instinct do the talking...ok, ok, keep an eye on the Too Late's Mash-up slim lord wristwatch anyway!
wearing: MASH-UP SLIM LORD wristwatch
As the sun went down we knew the shooting was over: time chill & plan the next project on my 2L8 LAB #SAVETHEDATE bracelet!
There are several ways to award yourself after a challenging day (in Blogger-land): popcorns+movie, some motivational quotes, online shopping, a night out with your friend...
(If you select the last option make sure to involve a Cosmopolitan!)
wearing: 2L8LAB #SAVETHEDATE bracelet
Have you fallen in love with the youthful & modern feel of Too Late's designs as much as I do?

At this point I think that none of us can go around not knowing what Empire is: THE BEST TV SHOW EVER.
Ok, one of the best, but allow me to define it as a "miracle" : the FOX hit series produced by Lee Daniels, starring Taraji P. Henson & Terrence Howard, has broken all the records, delivering a product that was both entertaining and revolutionary.
The second season is already proving to be as good as the opening one, so I guess you have enough reasons to become a fan right now: Empire is drama with a touch of comedy and soap opera, but above all, Empire is music...Timbaland's music!
You might have loved the light and pop-friendly tone of Glee, but now is time to fall for television's take on Rap, Hip pop, RnB and soul music!
And since we are talking about music & Empire, let's see what our Leslie has to say about one of the best artists launched by show: V Bozeman!
written by: Stella

Who is Veronica Bozeman?
This is one of the first questions I’ve been asked when I mentioned her name.
Well, Veronica 'V' Bozeman is one of the rising stars of the present soul - blues - R&B scene.
If you don’t know her, just watch FOX’s hit show Empire: thanks to her breathtaking performance of “What Is Love”, in the very first episode of the tv show, she climbed to the top of the Billboard Chart, obviously catching my attention!
The California native has always been in the field as songwriter and she has done vocal productions for big names of the music industry, such as Monica, Rihanna and Patti Labelle; nevertheless, she has recently decided to go solo.
In November 2014 her single “Race Jones” was released, revealing an edgy old school R&B sound; now she is a Timbaland’s protégée and part of the producer’s upcoming project “Opera Noir”: in case you have not, please check their first duet "Smile" !
Her powerful voice, stage presence and natural beauty make her a complete artist, maybe she will become the new Erikah Badu or the new Alicia Keys; who knows!
To honor her talent I have decided to cover her amazing hit single “What is Love”, take a listen:
