Emerald Spring… Meagan Lee

Meagan Lee, Beauty Is Boring, Robin Black

This weekend, why not swap your usual black eyeliner for a matte emerald green!  Pair it with tousled hair, nude lips and glowing summer skin. Note: Take the whole look up a level with a nonchalant over the shoulder gaze like model Meagan Lee. PRODUCTS // MAC Fluidline Gel Liner in Deep Green, Tom Ford… Read more »

CHANEL SUMMER LOOK… Richie

Richie, Beauty Is Boring, Robin Black, Chanel

It’s the 4th of July and rather than lounging at the beach all weekend, you are stuck in the city.  So instead of sunkissed skin, natural makeup and a nude lip, why not go for some good old fashioned American glamour!  Bold brushed up brows, a haze of metallic shadow and bright orange red lips… Read more »

SPRING BLUES… RAVEN LYN

Raven Lyn, Robin Black, Beauty Is Boring

Lately I’ve had an inexplicable craving for the color blue.  Sheer navy cottons, vintage indigo fabrics, Yves Klein blue leather and stacks of denim so I guess it was just a matter of time until blue made its way into the BEAUTY IS BORING studio.

Note: My boxer dog Mack is completely obsessed with… Read more »

CLARINS SPRING 2015… SAMIRA MAHBOUB

Samira Mahboub, Robin Black, Beauty Is Boring, Clarins

The word “pastel” in reference to eye shadow takes me back to the 80’s but this dusty hued green from the Clarins Spring 2015 collection manages to be modern and very chic.  It’s best paired with intense black liner and a pale lip as shown here on the gorgeous artist/model Samira Mahboub.
