    Biography

    As a child, Louboutin would regularly sneak out of school, from the age of 12, to watch the showgirls at some Paris nightclubs, because he was fascinated by their costumes, and cites this as his main inspiration for becoming a shoe designer: “[The showgirls] influenced me a lot. If you like high heels, it’s really the ultimate high heel - it’s all about the legs, how they carry themselves, the embellishment of the body. They are the ultimate icons.” Although Louboutin faced much opposition following his decision to leave school so early, he claims that his resolve was strengthened after watching an interview on TV with Sophia Loren in which she introduced her sister, saying she had to leave school when she was only 12 but when she turned 50 she got her degree. “Everybody applauded! And I thought, ‘Well, at least if I regret it I’m going to be like the sister of Sophia Loren!”

     Shoes

    Christian Louboutin helped bring stilettos back into fashion in the 1990s and 2000s, designing dozens of styles with heel heights of 120mm (4.72 inches) and higher. The designer’s professed goal is to “make a woman look sexy, Christian louboutin shoes beautiful, to make her legs look as long as [he] can.” While he does offer some lower-heeled styles, Louboutin is generally associated with his dressier eveningwear designs incorporating bejeweled straps, bows, feathers, patent leather and other, similar decorative touches.

    In his U.S. trademark application, Louboutin explains the inception of the signature red soles:

    “In 1992 I incorporated the red sole into the design of my shoes. This happened by accident as I felt that the shoes lacked energy so I applied red nail polish to the sole of a shoe. This was such a success that it became a permanent fixture.”

    Louboutin also received inspiration for his infamous, lethal-looking stilettos from an incident that occurred in his early twenties. He had visited a museum and noticed that there was a sign that forbade women to enter while wearing sharp stilettos, for fear of damage to the extensive wood flooring. This image stayed in his mind, and he later used this idea in his designs. “I wanted to defy that,” Louboutin has said. “I wanted to create something that broke rules and made women feel confident and empowered.”
    Christian Louboutin has topped the Luxury Institute’s annual Luxury Brand Status Index (LBSI) for 3 years; the brand’s  tiffany jewelry offerings were declared the Most Prestigious Women’s Shoes in 2007, 2008 and 2009.

    Get a Makeup Stain out of Clothes Without Washing

    2009 July 4
    Posted by tracy.charmgroup

     Steps

    1. Take the piece of stained clothing off immediately. Do not give the stain a chance to dry.
    2. Get a tube of witch hazel and a damp flannel. Squeeze out the size of a small pea onto your finger and rub it into the fabric, spreading it evenly on the stain.
    3. Rub firmly on the stain with the damp flannel until the stain disappears.
    4. If you have time, use the hairdryer to dry your clothing.
    5. Put it back on and go have fun!

     

    Tips

    • In order to prevent stained clothing in the first place, put your makeup on BEFORE you change into your going-out clothes.
    • Or, you can always wear a dressing gown over your good clothes while you do your makeup.
    • Another great thing to use on the go are baby wipes. This is an old ‘trade-secret’ of Hollywood wardrobe and costume designers.

     
    Warnings

    • Be careful not to use too much witch hazel. The smallest amount works wonders!
    • Likewise, do not use too much water either. I speak from experience, it’s not a good idea!

    Apply Eye Makeup on Fair Skin

    2009 July 4
    Posted by tracy.charmgroup
    1. Clean your eyes with a gentle makeup remover (you can also use baby oil or vaseline) to get rid of any traces of eyeliner and mascara.Take an eyelash curler and squeeze for about 5-7 seconds. With your eye closed, draw a light line with an eyeliner on your top eyelid (don’t worry if it isn’t perfect, you can fix it later).
    2. Open your eye and line your bottom lid with eyeliner. Use waterproof mascara on top lashes. Don’t apply mascara on the bottom, except maybe at the very outer corner to give yourself more of a cat eye. Make sure that you add more mascara to the outer lashes for a more sexy look.
    3. Take a lighter tan-colored powder if you have light-colored skin, and sweep it on just above the eyeliner up to the area where your eye creases and sweep up to your eyebrow. Use this same color and sweep under your eyes and in the corners (to get rid of dark circles and wrinkles).
    4. Blend the colors so that they transition nicely, and make sure your mascara isn’t clumpy.
    5. Repeat on the other eye.
    6. Don’t use orange-like foundation if you have fair skin, this will give a plastic effect.

    Protect Your Skin From the Sun

    2009 July 4
    Posted by tracy.charmgroup
    1. Step 1
    2. Long-term exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage your skin. To protect it, stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the rays are at their strongest. And remember that clouds don’t block UV rays.
    3. Step 2

      Seek shade when you’re outdoors.

    4. Step 3

      Wear a hat, preferably with a 4-inch brim all around, to effectively cover your face, neck and ears.

    5. Step 4

      Wear long sleeves and long pants, making sure they’re made of tightly woven fabrics.

    6. Step 5

      Use sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 every day to help protect against incidental sun exposure; reapply it after swimming or sweating.

    7. Step 6

      Keep in mind that a typical T-shirt has a lower SPF than the American Cancer Society recommends, so you’ll still need to apply sunscreen to areas the T-shirt covers.

    8. Step 7

      Be aware that ultraviolet rays generally reflect off water, sand, snow and any light-colored surface, such as concrete; be diligent in applying sunscreen when you’re around these surfaces.

    9. Step 8

      Remember that some ultraviolet radiation will penetrate water and windows, so you always need protection.

    10. Step 9

      Avoid indoor sunlamps and tanning beds, since they can be more harmful to your skin than the sun.
