TOM FORD, SPRING 2015… Juliana Herz

Juliana Herz, Robin Black, Beauty Is Boring, Tom Ford

I love the idea of makeup being a little messy, almost perfect but a tad bit off kilter. For this look I applied multiple coats of mascara, deliberately clumping the lashes together and tapping the skin under the lower lashes with the end of the wand. 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.

BLACK OUT… Heather Kemesky

Heather Kemesky, Robin Black, Beauty Is Boring

As a teenager, the only makeup product I owned was a black kohl eyeliner pencil. I often went bare faced to school since even at that age, I preferred late nights to early mornings and couldn’t bring myself to get up a moment earlier than needed to rush out the door. However, on the days… Read more »

SISTERS… Charlotte & Sharon

Charlotte Carey, Robin Black, Beauty Is Boring

I’ve often said that “cute” is a word best left for puppies, babies and shopping in certain areas of Tokyo. However, there is something undeniably charming and sweet about the sisterly relationship between these two that almost demands that word. The gorgeous face on the left belongs to well known model and my long time… Read more »

YVES KLEIN… Giannina Oteto

Inspired by the famous Yves Klein blue, this graphic liner is the first of several looks that stunning Kenyan model Giannina Oteto and I created in our studio session.  Stay tuned for more!
