Beauty Remix

I don't want to leave myself behind

Vanishing into a girl that I don't recognize

If you want to run to Sweet Georgia Brown, do

I'll be smoldering in my plum-red lipstick

Corinne Bailey Rae 's video for her new song "He Will Follow You With His Eyes" is nostalgically postmodern. It's about reaching for old school black girl magic for that seductive allure but there is no romantic interest in the video. What is in the video are closeup shots of beauty and hair products from the 1930's. The song is about the beauty that gets his attention. According to her lyrics, the secret is plum-red lipstick and Sweet Georgia Brown.

First thing to understand is what is plum-red lipstick. In order to do that, look at the color of a plum. It's a nice dark, vampy red. There's a lipstick in Mulberry from Aularale. Plums and mulberries are similar in color. Mulberry from Aularale is universally flattering. It looks beautiful on ALL COMPLEXIONS! Thanx Corinne for that beauty tip!

Keep your lipstick in a whimsical, floral lipstick case. This one has a mirror under the lid for a perfect application.

The other beauty product she mentions in "He Will Follow You With His Eyes" is Sweet Georgia Brown. This is an old fashioned hair pomade that comes in a charming tin can. I used a product similar to this for double strand twist and that's' what a product like this is perfect for using.

For a successful double strand twist, blow out or straighten the hair into an afro. Then use a pomade on hair to make twists the size of your choice. This style lasts up to two weeks because of the hair growth.
