Life : Le regard qui vaut mille mots.

Je suis loin d'être photographe. Celle-ci a été prise lors du 10e anniversaire du Festival mode & Design de Montréal. En fait, son regard vaut mille mots.

I am far from being a photographer.  I snapped this photo during the  10th anniversary  of Montreal's " Fashion and Design Festival ".   I do enjoy looking at this one.  In my opinion, the stare is worth a million words. 


Bisou de Montréal,

Last night I was a Mausketer.

Ces jolies jambes et chaussures appartiennent à qui ? Mystère et boule de gomme ...

These legs and beautiful shoes belong to whom ? MMMM...

Inspiré du Michey Mouse de la grande dépression, je vous présente la soirée "Mad Maus". Cet évènement d'envergure international présenté par nul autre que Gibran Ramos. 

 I am proud to present the "Mad Maus", an event hosted by the one and only Gibran Ramos whose inspiration comes from the great depression dark Mickey Mouse.

Ce rendez-vous a eu lieu la semaine dernière au "Café Delight Factory " du  Vieux- Port de Montréal. 

The gathering took place in the Old Port of Montreal trendy "Café Delight Factory". Looking at the architecture of the venue, Gibran mentioned to me that it is a reminiscence of the famous New York's "Meat Packing District".

En fait, c'était l'endroit où les "social" se sont rassemblés vêtu de noir à l'allure avant-garde. De plus, à l'honneur, le premier top modèle albinos "Shaun Ross" qui a défilé pour le cher défunt Alexander McQueen, Givenchy et Patrick Mohr était la vedette de la soirée. En fait, j'ai tellement dansé et parlé à mes amis(es) que je n'ai pas pris assez de photos. Je promets de me reprendre la prochaine fois. Cependant, j'ai eu l'opportunité d'avoir les photos officielles de la soirée et j'ai le plaisir de les partager avec vous tous. 


Nonetheless, the highlight of the night was the notorious, the first  international albino super model "Shaun Ross" who teared the runway for the late Alexander McQueen, Givenchy and Patrick Mohr to name a few. In addition, it was the "hit" place to play dress up. Unfortunately, I was so busy chatting and dancing, I neglected my camera. Lucky me, I got my hands on the official pictures to share with you all.

Higher The Better !

Hello there,

Shoes are the most comforting item when feeling blue. Giovanna Battaglia's famous quote "The lower I feel, the higher the heels" is my perfect excuse to catwalk down the street with over the top heels.  I just love shoes and agree that the higher they are the more I feel on top of the world. They may sometimes hurt but the point is they look hot on me ok !!!  I leave you here with these beauties that caught my eyes.  Do you like them ?

Enjoy the rest of your sunday,

Make Up Artist : Wesline Clermont

Hello Readers,

After preparing this article for weeks, I am now happy to share my interview about Montreal makeup artist Wesline Clermont with you. The reason why I have choosen her for this week's post is because she is a friend, a true inspiration, a character that holds positive energy and brightens the room upon her arrival.  Wesline is more than a makeup artist she is also a respiratory anesthesia therapist and someone that gives back to her community.  Moreover, she is always eager to give advice or tips and tricks when it comes to the art of applying makeup. She generously gave me some of her time to answer my questions. Therefore, I wish to share this experience with you all.

About Wesline

As a young girl, she began practicing the art of makeup on her mother and siblings. Her talent catched people's attention and shortly after everyone started requesting her. As  a result, she worked as a part time makeup artist while studying. When I asked what inspires her, Clermont stated that she finds inspiration not only from her surroundings but from everything else she encouters in life such as colors found on a great  painting or someone's particular style.

Wesline is known for having flawless skin and amazing makeup !

Hard working Ms. Clermont featured on the last Winter 2009-2010 LouLou Magazine for a  makeover.  She truly deserved it ! She had no complain . She enjoyed getting pampered !

Ms. Clermont the Make Up Artist 

Wesline has worked  with several Montreal celebrities and collaborated on runway shows, music videos, movies and special events such as the "Concours des jeunes créateurs de Mode du Québec. She has a handful of projects keeping her busy all year long. Furthermore, as a respiratory care and anesthesia therapist, she also volunteers to help beautify cancer patients.

Q & A

Wesline's makeup tips and tricks

Marjorie's Closet : What makeup essentials must a fashionista own to maintain beautiful skin ?

Wesline Clermont : My number one skin tip would probably be to always moisturize. Never apply makeup on virgin or dry skin. Once that is done, keep in mind anyone can learn to apply makeup, learning to be innovative and personalizing it to your own personality and lifestyle. These are the most important  elements to achieve great look. 

MC : What makeup essential should I have in my purse ?

WC: We should always carry some lip-gloss and mascara. If your purse is big enough (like mine lol) , throw in a nice clay powder or foundation and some blush. 

MC: What are your favorite tools or brand to work with when applying make-up and why ? 

WC: For eye shadow, I absolutely love NYX, Dior and Urban Decay, the potency of their colors are incomparable. For foundation, I use Bobbi Brown and Dr. Hauschka a German-based cosmetic company. As for the lip and eyeliner, I love Rimmel. Moreover, for making your lashes fabulous, I go for Lancôme's Femme Fatale, Hypnose, DiorShow and for the low budget, a really good brand I would recommand is Maybelline's Define -A-Lash. Finally, I also have to add that I love Sephora's nail polish and anything from Lancôme and Make up Forever !

MC : Tell us about spring trends ( in terms of make-up)?

WC: I do not think anyone should follow any particular trend especially if it does not fit their personality. However, this spring I would love to see daring beautiful colors fresh shimmery skin and long lashes. 

MC : What are your suggestions for day to evening look ?

WC: One of the most important things if you know you are going out later, is to have a great base. Apply a good foundation on well moisturized skin and some translucent powder to set it in. This will give you a great canvas to apply makeup on later. Finish this simple everyday look with mascara and some lip-gloss. Keep it light and fresh. Later, to get ready to go out, focus on eyes with brown fillers, eyeliner, mascara and great colors.  If your eyes are the focus, keep the lips neutral.

MC : What are your favorite Canadian make-up brands and why ?

WC: Cargo and M.A.C , need I explain ? They are great ! Also love QUO for their inexpensive brushes!

Quo Brushes available at your nearest Shoppersdrugmart  (Pharmaprix).  Great investment !!

MC : Thank you so much Wesline and I cannot wait to work with you again !

WC: You welcome ma belle !

Hope you enjoyed this interview. I sure did learn something new. 

I will keep you posted on all my futur collaborations with Wesline .

Bisou 

Marjorie xoxo
