The Lone Ranger: sunscreen for all from Aveeno

Hey ya Gorgeous!

I saw the new movie with Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer called The Lone Ranger this weekend.



Well, there are many things to say here, and let's just keep it at Redbox.

So much of the movie was shot in Monument Valley making for beautiful scenery and intense sun!

I sure hope the cast and crew wore sunscreen. Something great like Aveeno.

It's a broad spectrum 30 spf and is moisturizing while providing sun protection. Aveeno products are family friendly and easy to get at most mass retailers and the price is nice too, under $10!

Pirates of the Caribbean 4: Captain Jack Sparrow-how to get your pirate on

Hi Gorgeous! Argghhh! Matey!
Welcome my model Teddy who in a few short photos is going to get his Captain Jack Sparrow look on and be ready for the premeire of Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides starring Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz.
In this first photo, the face is clean and moisturized.


Next I apply 'sunburn' to his cheeks using Milani baked eyeshadow in "I Heart You".
Captain Jack Sparrow photos seem to always show him with a bit of flush to his cheeks and it's either a sunburn or the rum!




Next I use Luminess Airbrush tanning system to brown and bronze over the sunburn of the cheeks and just give the fair skin a very sun kissed tan look.
*Note* This Luminess Airbrush tanning system is so easy to use! Stay tuned for a how to video!




I begin to apply Captain Jack Sparrow's defining facial hair. I mention it in the video-I bought at the last minute from a party shop a "Jack" facial hair kit-but it has the consistency of a rug!
To do it over, I suggest and plan to visit the real costume shop/theatre makeup place and get some spirit gum and a moustache, soul patch, and goatee.

While the glue is setting-sort of-but not very well-I begin to apply the trademark eyeshadow/eyeliner of Captain Jack Sparrow. It at first appears messy and smudgey but it is actually very precise!
1. I rim the eye with Makeup Designory Moss shadow
2. I use Ardell black matte shadow to 'line' over the Moss shadow which is a green gold fleck shadow. In the still photos of Johnny Depp it sometimes


brown? Sometimes purple? I just happened to have this gorgeous green on hand! Use the color you feel best in!
3. I take Sheercover Espresso Shot creme eyeliner and make the defined line around the eye.

Now! Half way there! I have one eye made up
and the other is being done in the how to video.
I add on the hair extensions. I am using my dark brown Dancing with the Stars pieces. There are two layers of Go!Go! on him. I did some braids and added a few pieces. I can't seem to tell in the photos what that bone/defeathered looking feather is that hangs off the top of Capt. Jack's bandana.
Now, the look is complete and Teddy is ready
for a Pirates of the Caribbean 4 movie premiere party!
On a side note-getting your pirate on is for any age, race, size, shape, or gender!
Here is my Mancub-in full Captain Jack Sparrow HMU!
No rum for the kid though!
Enjoy the how to video and I've also posted the funny trailer for the movie. I like that it's not the traditional scene by scene trailer. Enjoy!

Alice! Alice! Alice! Disneyland'ish!

We Solve Your Biggest Beauty Etiquette Dilemmas

What's appropriate (and not!) when it comes to grooming, makeup and more

Never know when to tip the bathroom attendant or tell a friend she's making a huge fashion faux pas? Here you'll find the answers to the etiquette questions that have long confounded you. See answers

Oh this is not the Alice in Wonderland of my youth! I am so excited for the movie and wonder what character I will makeup as for the premiere? Hmm...  Well while I ponder on that, visit this link to read a story by composer Danny Elfman and what it was like creating the sound track.

And I quote Mr. Elfman "Although the "Alice in Wonderland" score is richly orchestral and graced with choral voices, there is one unforgettable moment where it deviates from that sound – people are sure to leave the theater buzzing about the scene in which the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) dances the "futterwack." We won't say another word about it, except to tell you that it brings down the house! "It was crazy!" Danny says with a grin. "I wrote all different kinds of pieces for Johnny's futterwack dance – and I came up with that one on the last day. Tim wanted something funky, and that's what he got!"

Get your Alice style on and see you at the theatre!
