La Lopez is Back...


Yes, I've been known to be pretty blunt, and most of all sincere, which some people do NOT fancy. Hey, I've had brushes with denial and it's not pretty. Hence, the more grounded I am the better for "moi," and in the long run... for others too. You've seen postings, links and magazine articles with "Karlo quotes," some of those quotes were published and posted during my three- month gig as a "Beauty Editor," which ended when the character that "owned" the magazine disappeared. Imagine I would have been there longer, watch out Anna! LOL!

But talking about quotes, the most popular was the "J-Lo Glow." It originated with an article that dear friend Karen Robinovitz wrote for Fashion Wire Daily. It's about "La Lopez," the unfortunate mishap with artist Scott Barnes, and the direct impact it had on her appearance. It talks about "La Lopez," whom I've admired, but also suffered vicariously through her up and downs, people's comments, and not-so-good collective thinking in regard to some of her past choices. You can still find some of my quotes online concerning that article: 1, 2. , but the original is not available online anymore.

Alright, lets get back to "La Lopez," because she has reclaimed the "Glow," or at least makeup-wise, and hopefully these are signs of things to come... back.
She looked stunning at the Oscars, with a Jean Dessès vintage dress that she got at Lily et Cie and jewels by Fred Leighton. The "raccoon eyes" were not to be found; the "glow," her flawless skin ,her elegance, the big eyes and eyelashes were back. Her slick hair, the choice of elegant dresses and her high forehead have resurfaced, very Ursula Andres, sooo sexy. I'm so happy to see BEAUTY, reclaimed.

ReActions from net friends:
MR: She probably sent her assistant to buy some "Body Bling" from sephora! LoL But she did look stunning at the Oscars, as well as the Dolce and Gabbana show last week. Its about time!! Welcome back JLO!!

DD: i actually found that the camaera didn't do her makeup justice... she looked like she had too much makeup. but she did look regal in that dress!!!

AV: She does look amazing, as always... as she is so amazing as a being!!!

CH: i loved it! oh my, that dress is BEAUTIFUL!

DL: Sorry, I hated her makeup,, give me back those mink eyelashes from a few years back anyday.

PR: Hola! She really looked great! That was my favorite dress of the Oscar's.

De Compras - Part Deux. Lo que no cupo en Magacín.

Foto: Ivonne Carlo Photography    !Hola a tod@s y feliz año 2013!  Les deseo paz, amor, éxito, abundante salud... y que seamos mas comprensivos, empáticos... para así entender que no todo cabe un una pagina web. Por eso aquí les dejo con las imágenes y enlaces que no cupieron en el  articulo original " De Compras " por Larissa Vázquez Zapata , editora de Magacín . Espero les guste esta extensión, que es todo lo que se lee en cursiva. Karlo Karlo, maquillista puertorriqueño residente en N.Y., comparte sus gustos. Mis lugares predilectos para hacer compras: 1. El mercado de pulgas de Brooklyn ( enlace en articulo original ) . No hay nada que me fascine más que la amalgama de lo nuevo y vintage; la idea es combinarlas, que se seduzcan, así se enaltecen respectivamente. Entre el regateo y el eye candy, uno de los mejores pasatiempos sabatinos. 2. Florencia, Italia. En The Mall, ubicado en Incisa, Val d'Arno  ( enlace en articulo original ) . Un secreto en el

The Making of a Romantic at Carlos Campos.

Carlos Campos' collection for this Fall/Winter 2012-13 is inspired in the romantic.  I'l keep you posted on his presentation this Sunday, February 12th at Milk studios (NYC), 3:00 PM.  But for know here's a glimpse of the grooming process, makeup by moi, hair by hunk Ramirez. What does it take to turn someone into a romantic?  How would you paint him? Sculpt him?   I've always believed that if you want to know whether a makeup artist is good or not, give them the test of grooming.  There's a certain sensibility, knowledge of color and undertones and finishing techniques that is required in order to make the makeup disappear.   The fantastic hair master Cesar Ramirez will be collaborating with Carlos Campos  this season, as always. Image by Luis Carle. It's about color 101 and being quite the observer of faces in their natural perfect state and painting them handsome, romantic. All products used by MAC Cosmetics. It shouldn't take much eff
