Scarlett Johansson in Black Dahlia Inspired Makeup Tutorial

Scarlett Johansson is one of my favorite modern actresses. She's beautiful, intelligent, funny and of course she's one darn good actress! One of my favorite looks on her is when she portrayed Kay Lake in The Black Dahlia. The film itself isn't the greatest but I love the hair, makeup and costumes so I can overlook that haha. I did some research online and found out how makeup artist Heba Thorisdottir created Scarlett's look. It was inspired and created to match film noir in 1946 to 1947. Heba used three different shades of red on Scarlett from Julie Hewett's Film Noir Collection. Of course I was pleased when I read this..I love the Film Noir lipsticks! Nude Noir was used for a bare look, Rouge Noir for everyday and Femme Noir for a more dramatic look. I love this look so much that I filmed a makeup tutorial inspired by it! It's a very easy everyday 40's look and I hope you enjoy!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

1. Orly nail polish in Cotton Candy. I've been looking for a nice pastel pink color and saw this at Sally Beauty Supply yesterday. So naturally I picked it up!




2. This vintage 1960's dress I won on Ebay! It's amazing and I don't even have to get it hemmed which makes me love it even more!




3. Scarlett Johansson on the Cover of Vogue. I absolutely love Scarlett Johansson and the photo spread in this magazine! It was very much inspired by the "Bringing Up Baby" film starring Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant.










4. Midnight in Paris. I came across this movie on Cinemax while I was trying to find something to watch on tv. I'm glad I did because I ended up really liking it! I can totally relate to Owen Wilson's character wanting to live in a different time except I would pick the 1930's or 40's instead of the 20's. I definitely recommend watching this if you ever get the chance.




5. Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream. I've been wanting to try this product for quite some time and finally bought a tube at Marshalls for only $7.99. I really love it! It's great for the cuticles, feet, sunburn, eyebrows, chapped lips, dry skin...I could go on and on. It was created in 1930 and is still around today so it must be doing something right!




6. This "The Best of Bette Davis" video! I mean who doesn't love Bette Davis?
