My movement…LipstickOnTheWall

 Lipstickonthewall is a growing movement within the female community supporting women in every aspect and area of life. I started it when I came to a realization that women do not get enough credit for the positive things that we do. Many of us are in school, working, being entrepreneurs/business owners, and things of such. I was inspired by females like you and I. The motto, “Leave your stain & Don’t let your lipstick fade, “ adds a feminine touch to what this movement is all about, to leave a positive expression/name and don’t let anything you do fade or go without being recognized. Lipstickonthewall encourages all supporters. It is not an overly feminist movement as men are welcomed to support our women as well. I encourage hashtaging #lipstickonthewall on all social media to help this movement to continue to grow.

My interview with The FashionChamp: Taylor Williams

• When did you realize women do not get enough recognition?

I realized this just from being around my peers and observing social networks and noticing that there’s a lot of women that are doing so much with themselves that we do not know of. For example with the well-known, “Black Girls Rock,” there’s so many females that are making a difference and many of us never knew them before the awards yet we know of many influential men.

• What is your personal “Lipstickonthewall” movement that you are leaving your stain on?

I am still working on leaving my stain but just succeeding in college, working, creating this movement on my own, and being a motivational speaker to younger girls around me, is leaving my stain. Just striving to be someone others can admire, is leaving a great mark.

• I know you mention lipstickonthewall as a movement but will there be lipstickonthewall events or seminars ext? 

Yes there will be. It will take a lot of time and effort but I am not putting a time limit on that. I do plan to have seminars where older females can speak to younger girls and serve as an inspiration as well as events that can showcase some females great contributions. I also plan to encourage community service events pertaining to women as well as attend walks such as the annual breast cancer walk in NYC.

• Where do you see lipstickonthewall by the end of this year?

I hopefully see lipstickonthewall to have a great following and encourage more females to be great. I want it to be a movement that is constantly spoken about and with a positive image. I will take it a step at a time.

Every girls fave…MAKEUP

Hello Glitterbugs,

We all love it, adore it & love playing in it but…

some of you girls just don’t get it! Nothing wrong with that, we’re all learning (I’m definitely NOT a professional) BUT, no way is it acceptable to be looking like the clown you ran from as a child. lol. Recently I saw a photo on instagram that just blew my mind away…it was literally one of those, “have to call/text your best friend ASAP” type of moments…which i did. Hey Tiff!! & we just in shock. Now the photo consisted of just all the makeup DON’TS known to man…it was THAT bad!

1. BLEND!!! make it your favorite word! Say it with me! 1-2 shades lighter for a highlight is fine; not 10 shades! it looks horrible! (now the person took a photo with flash, & idk why they figured it looked ok for instagram, is beyond me!)

2. As i stated, please no too light concealer. stores allow you to test makeup. so take advantage of it! don’t waste your money or your better judgement.

3. Now this may not be a rule but my best friend will hopefully tell me when I look like i did my makeup in a dark room of a dungeon. Get better company! If you’re friends or people you associate with constantly, can’t tell you that your makeup is off EVERYDAY, then they just don’t like you or they can just be insecure about themselves (but that’s another subject)

4. if you highlight (the right way), you HAVE to contour! duhhh H&C!! or else you just look like a ghost…& NO ONE wants that…NO ONE..unless you’re auditioning to be Uncle Magic’s assistant…i kid i kid!

5. Lipstick: choose the right NUDE! who wants ashy looking lips?! isn’t that the whole point of a moisturizing lipstick?

6. & DON’T, i repeat DON’T leave the concealer around your eyebrows, WHITE! if you are unsure how to do the highlighting effect, use a concealer that is your color just to clean it up, or none at all & just use a wet flat brush to clean up the shape. It looks silly! the point of filling in, is to look naturally while enhancing your eyebrows! In saying this, no Nike check marks or geometric shaped eyebrows! PLEASE NO!!

7. PRACTICE & get it right! Take pictures, watch tutorials, ask gurus questions! Don’t walk out your door looking like your 4-year-old sister was using your face as a canvas!

* I could go on & on but these are just based on what I’ve seen. Below is a peek of how I like my makeup looks…& a little Facebook rant between Tiff & I once we discovered that horrid photograph! This wasn’t to offend so please take it lightly & be sure to comment & like this. I promise I don’t bite & I’m here to help as well…hence this post! Love you Glitterbugs!
