Hair and Makeup Tips for Prom

// June 9th, 2011 // 2 Comments » // Feel Good Fashion, Looking Good

Prom may be over but these hair and makeup tips can be used at any occasion to glam up and rock out. That being said, picking your dress, hair, makeup and overall style for prom should not be taken lightly. And that’s why I helped Perez Hilton on his fashion website www.cocoperez.com give the 411 on this year’s prom trends for hair and makeup.

Huge thanks to Jessica Simpson for the dresses, and Gareth Bromell and Uzmee Krakovszki for hair and makeup.

My secret weapons: Uzmee and Glips

// May 3rd, 2011 // 5 Comments » // Feel Good Fashion, Looking Good

If you know me, you know I am UBSESSED with color–especially when it sparkles! That’s why I was blown away when my AMAZEballs makeup artist, Uzmee Krakovszki, showed me her secret for creating glittery lips or “Glips” as I call them. It’s like wearing sequins on your face! I <3 them majorly. Watch this video that was posted on Coco Perez and learn these fabulous tips for rocking the hottest lips.

Mai Closet – Online, Off Style

// May 2nd, 2011 // 5 Comments » // Feel Good Fashion, Looking Good, Mai Closet

I loved cartoons when I was a kid. I still do…kind of. Sakari on the other hand is stil obsessed with them. And that makes sense since her passion is to be an animator. But what doesn’t make sense is that she’s dressing like her characters, and that’s where I draw the line. Thankfully, by the end of this episode, she had stepped back into the real world…and she did it looking fierce instead of sketchy.

But did I look fierce? Let me know after viewing Mai Closet below!

This was a shoot I had to share just because it’s… um..amazeballs. I’ve never seen myself look like this! Trust me, it’s the magician photography work of Josh Williams, then makeup, hair and styling from Norma Blaque (hair), Uzmee K. (makeup), and Bory Tan and William Moore. Special thanks to Avon and the dynamic designs of Emiliano Moreno.  Read more...

Sometimes It’s Good To Be “TooFaced”

// March 9th, 2011 // 1 Comment » // Feel Good Fashion, Looking Good

Here it is, my ultimate fave face makeup. The one stroke that gives me a California glow, instant chisel in the cheeks, and a sweet kiss to start my day from makeup guru Jerrod Blandino himself. Lucky me.

Mai Closet – “Christine Comes First”

// November 16th, 2010 // No Comments » // Mai Closet

Anyone who watched this episode of How Do I Look and says they didn’t fall in love with Christine is a filthy liar! This woman was AMAZING. Her strength, her kindness, her story! From the moment I met her, I was determined to help her realize how beautiful she is, and how much she deserves to pamper herself.

The psych of style this week was simply one of my favorites. I felt so honored to sit in the same room with those courageous women, each a survivor of breast cancer.  They were all strangers when they came on set, but the whole group left united by a strong bond. It was breathtaking to hear their stories and witness their bravery. I will never forget that day.  Read more...

The magic to Mai look..the Pretty Posse

// January 31st, 2010 // 31 Comments » // Fun, Looking Good

**Updates to this season’s Pretty Posse with fashionistas Kayla McGee and Jocelyn Garrity–stay tuned for bios

A few nights ago I took out my Pretty Posse-my talented group of hair, makeup, and wardrobe all wrapped into colorful bodies of fun, sparkling energy. These guys take my personal style and help me refresh and invigorate it into different versions of me. Because I have such exciting opportunities to dress up, I really do love to ask the famous four words to my show, “How Do I Look?” I believe style is a confident perspective of your identity, and celebrating it with the people who love you.  Read more...

Bashing on Kristen Bell-somebody had to do it.

// October 19th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Looking Good

Here’s the thing–I wrote it strictly because I KNOW Bell could be lookin better. But trust me..we all have our days when we thought “haute”, but really it was out. Ok, but I hate calling out someone else when I ain’t perfect either. So here’s one of my own Shams to even out the score:

I mean, right? Here’s me like 6 years ago on one of my first hosting gigs for a show called Stir on KTSF in the bay. Note my wrinkled satin Bebe top, my clash of accessories, and somebody remind me not to flat iron my own hair. Thanks.

So back to Bell– what do YOU think of my write up for Fashion Police?

Guest Popo Jeannie Mai Says…

Not sure if Kristen Bell was inspired by the sea behind her to bring this coral-reef-like pattern to life, but between the bland color of her 3.1 Phillip Lim frock and washed-out makeup it looks like she’d rather be anywhere else but here at the exciting premiere of her movie Couples Retreat. K.B.: This is one look you should let sail out of your life forever!  Read more...

Kim Kardashian kisses n tells..in a glossy way to give back.

// October 17th, 2009 // No Comments » // Looking Good, Mai Musts, Uncategorized

This week I sat with Kim to cover the her exciting new involvement with Fusion Beauty’s new lipgloss, a line of lip plumping glosses that obviously work extremely well for the gorgeous girl. My fave part about this lineup is the “Kiss Away Poverty” Campaign, in which $1 from every sale of Infatuation and Lipfusion glosses goes towards Seven Bar Foundation to help end poverty among women!! It was awesome talking with Kim’s passion over makeup with her artist Troy Jensen and sharing her fave beauty secret. So here’s the scoop– try it out! (MAC’s Vanilla Pigment totally gets the job done right, too )  Do get out there  to Sephora and check out the line –Sugar Rush is my personal fave!  Read more...
