Culture Clash: Quiero Mi Boda

Weddings are a special event in the life of a couple: a day where not only two people join in matrimony, but also a day when two families unite. Now imagine these two families being from completely different cultural backgrounds: different taste, traditions, religion and sometimes even different languages. “Quiero Mi Boda” takes an inside look at cross-cultural weddings and the hustle and bustle surrounding them.

This season, Miami couple Rosanna (Dominican) and Jean (Canadian) will fight to make sure they both bring as much from their culture as they can to their wedding, from reciting vows in their own languages to bringing sand from each other’s home land - they want it all! But jitters take over as the couple - both from divorced parents- realize that marriage is not forever if not right. Will a therapist cure their cold feet? We’ll be tuning in to find out when the 4^th season of “Quiero Mi Boda” premiers in July on Tr3s.

Selena Gomez @ MTV Movie Awards by CoverGirl

 

Latina superstar, Selena Gomez, rocked the MTV Movie Awards

red-carpet & stage in a Giambattista Valli dress and 

CoverGirl make-up last night in LA!

·        For the MTV Movie Awards, Selena wanted her makeup look to be fresh and flawless. We asked celebrity makeup artist, Karan Mitchell how to get her soft and pretty look:

·         I started with Selena's eyes. I selected the COVERGIRL Shimmering Sands Eye Enhancer 3-Kits Shadows for her shadow. I used the medium shade of the palette as all over the eye area. I then used the lightest shade on the inside corners and as a highlight under her brow bone.

·         I then lined her upper and lower lashline with COVERGIRL Perfect Blend Eyeliner in Basic Black. To line the upper lashes I used COVERGiRL LineExact Liquid liner in Very Black and drew a slight wing on the outer corners. I added a few individual lashes and used three coats of new COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Water Resistant Mousse Mascara in Black. This mascara will be available in-store nationwide in July. 

·         For her flawless skin, I used NatureLuxe Silk Foundation in Oak. On her cheeks I applied COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Lush Berry under the cheekbone and blended upward. 

·         I then finished the look with COVERGIRL LipPerfection lipcolor in the soft shimmering pink shade Sweetheart and COVERGIRL ShineBlast Lip Gloss in Dazzle.
