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 »

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 »

SUMMER GLAM… Kylie Cusick

Kylie Cusick, Robin Black, Beauty Is Boring

This look needs a party to attend, preferably one with a disco ball and lots of dancing. Note: I first shot Kylie back in 2012 in the early days of Beauty Is Boring.  She had long hair and bleached brows, totally different from her current style.  It’s always fun to see the models evolve over… Read more »

In honor of Diana Vreeland’s spirited view of beauty, here are five suggestions for a less ordinary weekend: 1) Indulge in gilded eyelids flecked with 24k gold flakes – appropriate for a picnic or a disco. 2) Abandon social media for an entire day. Breathe. Your skin will look better. 3) Conspire with expert colorist Aura… Read more »

RED SPRING… HANNAH VANDERMOLEN

Hannah Vandermolen for Beauty Is Boring.

I refuse to give up red eyeshadow simply because it’s Spring.  I love the wisteria and roses that bloom in my garden this time of year but that is no reason to surrender to pastels.  Besides, this combination of rich amber red eyes with glowing skin and pale lips reminds me of a flower… just… Read more »

THE MODERN MONOCHROMATIC… Maggimae Cecelia

Maggimae Cecelia, Beauty Is Boring, Robin Black, Makeup

The 90’s were a seminal era for me and I often find myself unconsciously referencing makeup styles from that time (I blame The Face and i-D).  However, it’s terribly boring to simply repeat so update that beloved 90’s monochromatic look with washes of warm color in sheer textures! Note: Maggimae hails from Kansas and has… Read more »
