People I admire : Doutzen Kroes

If you're one of my loyal readers, or just red my whole blog, you'd notice that I often post some personal stuff. 
Like a list of personal questions about me with my anwsers, and also an about of those answers (and questions) because allot has changed!
But now I came with a new topic: People I admire:
Every week (mostly saturdays) I will post a new post with a person I admire.
Maybe it's actor/model or a singer, who knows..
For starters I'm beginning with the one and only Doutzen Kroes who I admire.
There is always a person you admire, wether it's your own mom or a big celebrity, perhaps even your school teacher!

Doutzen Kroes
The gorgeous Doutzen Kroes is one of Holland's biggest proud, the biggest in modeling.
She is very down to earth and very caring.
The most people would know this blue-eyed blonde as a Victoria Secret Angel, also, this year (just a few more months) she'll be strolling down the runway with her Co-Angels.
I really admire her and her job and that's not only modeling.
Doutzen is one of ambassadors of Dance4Life, that's an innovative, international initiative designed to inspire, mobilise and unite young people to push back the spread of HIV/AIDS. Dance4life aims to have created one million active participating youth by 2014 as a last urgent call to the world leaders to keep their promises around the Millennium Development Goals. 
We have supermodels and we have famous angels, well Doutzen got her famed wings in 2008 when she became part of the elite group of supermodels when she officially became a Victoria's Secret Angel in 2008. Edward Raze, whom has been selecting the models for Victoria's Secret for past decade said , " I wish we had snapped her up a long time ago."
Doutzen Kroes became the beautiful and strong mother that she is now by being herself and reaching for the stars! That's a life lesson!
She is a classy beauty who became a model by herself and one day I hope I'll meet her! 


Did you know that Doutzen:



- Was the newest Victoria's Secret Angel (2008)

- Has been given a booked ticket on the very first Dutch commercial space flight, which is scheduled to lift off in 2014.
- Gave birth to her first child at age 25 to a son Phyllon Joy Gorré on January 21, 2011. The father is her husband the dutch DJ Sunnery James.

- Samiya Cusman (a BIG fan of Doutzen Kroes!!)

Get the Look: "We Are Never Getting Back Together" Taylor Swift Makeup Look

When watching Taylor Swift's "We are never getting back to together" music video, I knew I had to do a tutorial on her makeup. In the video, Taylor is wearing a classic, but simple look with the winged liner and red lips.
Here is how I recreated her look!


Taylor doesn't have a dramatic eyeshadow look in the video, so go for a light eyeshadow that matches your skin tone or is a few shades lighter and place all over the lid.

To add more depth to the eyes and make your eyes look bigger, add a soft brown color to the crease, such as this color from Illamasqua in "Heroine".

Taylor always has her signiture winged liner. Use a black gel liner and make the line it thinner in the inner corner, and thicker as it is  going towards the outer end of the eye, then winging the liner.

Apply a little bit of eyeliner to the lower lash line, using a pencil liner.

To get her thick lashes, use a volumizing mascara to the upper and lower lashes.

Even though she isn't wearing a lot of blush, apply a little bit of a peachy-pink blush to help brighten the face a bit.

For her red lips, which is the main feature of the look, apply a ruby red lipstick that has a little bit of a glossy finish to the lips, such as Make Up Forever's lipstick in "Red Brick".

I hope this was helpful!
Thanks for reading!

Hedi Slimane’s First Ad Campaign for Saint Laurent Paris

The black and white image which appears in Vogue Hommes today shows former Girls frontman Christopher Owen with his back to the camera as he lays on a beaded pillow. While there is little to nothing in the way of clothing revelations, it’s supposedly one of fifteen images shot by Slimane for their forthcoming campaign.

Check out the latest spread by Terry Richardson spotted on Terry’s Diary in which he got Jared Leto, actor, singer and boyfriend of Scarlett Johansson in front of the lenses.
