How to use La Beauté, Louis Vuitton’s new makeup line

Cafe to Catch One: Day to Night

Amber J. Phillips, @amberabundance

the day

You’ll find Amber workshopping her stories at a cafe in Leimert Park, with bright eyeshadow that sparkles around her almond eyes.

the night

And at night? A blue pop expands in the corner of her eye. Place her at the legendary Catch One — formerly Catch, founded by Jewell Tice-Williams in 1973 — living the life that informs her work, among those whose lives are worth living.

“When I started adding music to my [writing] In practice, it was the pride of the fact that I didn’t want to direct my political lens through policy alone, but through how I lived my day-to-day life.

Black people, especially dark-skinned people…the dance floors, the playgrounds are where we become who we are. This is where we test identity.

I like to play with makeup at home and then take it to the dance floor under some blue lights, where nobody really judges you.

As I grow as a writer, it is important for me to not only respond to the world around me, but to tell the story of a world that I actually participate in.”

Girl About Town: Glamor in Every Season

Tiara Kelly, @tiararkelly

Depending on the day’s agenda, the tiara might be in the city library or hanging on Santee Alley. She’s a downtown girl, but don’t be surprised if she connects with her community in Lemert Park in a makeup look that’s anything but casual.

“I’m either very simple or very dramatic.

If I’m wearing white, I’ll add glitter to radiate pure energy. If I do pink, I want all shades of pink. I love pink makeup on my skin. If I wear bright colors, I like bright makeup. Blush – Lots of colors throughout. I want to be extra and pull as much as I can.

Tiara is wearing: La Beauté Louis Vuitton LV Ombres Eyeshadow Palette in Dazzling Gaze 350 and Cosmic Dreams 450 ($250); La Beauté Louis Vuitton LV Rouge in Legendary 503, High in Red 507 and Tonic Orange 601 ($160). Available at select Louis Vuitton stores. louisvuitton.com

It’s Date Night: LA Good

Jen Torres, @jen4romtheblock

Jane’s date nights with her girlfriends always revolve around food – and her lipstick is impeccable.

“This look would definitely be for a great restaurant, jazz club or museum. Lots of romance at night. I don’t drink anymore, but if I did it would be a wine night or a cocktail.

I love the classics: sharp eyeliner, mascara, brown lip liner with pink gloss, some blush and I’m done. (He makes it so easy.)

Simple step-by-step lip technique by makeup artist Denise Rodriguez Hermoso at Jean:

1. Line the outer lips with brown lip liner and blend inward.
2. Apply LV Rouge in Cosmic Journey to the outer edges of the lips.
3. Blend LV Rouge in Cosmic Journey into the center of the lips. Be sure to leave room for the LV boom in the optional blessing.
4. Apply LV Baume to tender.
5. Blend into a cosmic journey with LV Rouge.
6. Laugh now.
