ABOUT

Welcome Style & Glam Magazine Readers,

Jamyce Patterson is a mother, a magazine owner and founder of Style & GLAM LLC, a fashion and beauty event and media production company. She worked in the healthcare industry for almost 20 years, before leaving Corporate America to pursue her love for fashion and glamour. Jamyce quickly realized that to bring her business to local customers, she would need more than great fashion to progress in this industry. Dedicating countless hours on new and exciting ways to engage Pittsburgh's fashion scene, she discovered that many small businesses had the same challenges. Soon after, Jamyce created PGH Style & GLAM (later to be named Style & Glam LLC ) to give entrepreneurs, models and artists a platform to build bigger brands and network with potential clients and media. Jamyce has since worked with thousands of businesses, designers, artists and models. In gaining press recognition for her company, Jamyce has obtained over 6000 combined social media supporters and has appeared in many Pittsburgh magazines and newspapers. Proud of her successes, Jamyce’s biggest joy is raising her daughter to not only be loving and understanding of others, but to be determined and hardworking in all that she sets out to achieve.

I want to thank everyone that has participated or supported Style & Glam Magazine. From conception, as the founder and Editor-In-Chief, my main focus is to empower upcoming artists, entrepreneurs, models and businesses through our editorials, featured articles and "In The Spotlight" interviews.

Virtuality Threatens The Extinction Of Real Runway Models Tamara Penn

hat if runway models were no longer needed and agencies went out of business? It won’t happen you say, but truth be told, virtual humans are gradually taking over the world.

Case in point, Imma, a digital Instagram model for KATE Tokyo Cosmetics, with over 50,000 followers, have entered uncharted territory, decked out in her trendy, street-style mix of edgy and sporty fashion brands, such as Nike.

This 3D pink hair virtual style icon, created by ModelingCafe —Tokyo-based CG company — can be seen jetsetting to cities like London and Paris. In a recent makeup campaign, Imma was coined “the face” of the company over her 2 “real” model counterparts. How could this happen? The digital based company paid special attention to her realistic features with varied levels of lighting and style filters. You can see her posing in a composite of shots wearing real and virtual make up in a magazine advertorial interview.

With this new wave of CGI models on social media, they are being sought after from huge fashion houses such as Dior, Valentino and Prada, depriving real models of paid gigs. Although we are some ways from a complete world domination, these virtual icons are a growing phenomenon with potential to disturb the modeling community as we know it. Now who wants to check out their Instagram and Twitter accounts?!

Diversity Or Not In The Beauty Industry Tamara Penn

W

ith upto 50 foundation colors in all shades and hues, who wouldn’t think that diversity in the beauty industry is now accepted, even celebrated. The last five years have moved towards inclusivity of more people of color being represented, mainly driven by social media, with major cosmetic giants such as, Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty Line and MAC, taking the reigns. It’s safe to say that the days of supermodel Iman having to blend her own foundation on photo shoots are gone… or are they? Some popular beauty influencers are not impressed with how slow this progression has been.

“Makeup brands have had this relationship with women of color that is very trend based. “ Even photographers are getting in on the conversation. Alexis Lubomirski, beauty photographer who shot the Meghan Markle and Prince Harry wedding portraits, has seen lighting issues turn into a battle of aesthetics. “Some creative directors are afraid of highlights on darker skins because they feel it is not representative of the natural color of the girl’s skin,” he said.

Similarly, change is taking place in hair care. Led by influential stars like Wanda Sykes and Tracee Ellis Ross, who wear their hair unprocessed, is “redefining Hollywood glamour,” said Yet it’s a start, there is a further need for improvement. “We’re celebrity hairstylist Nai’vasha Johnson. This is “absolutely stuck in a place that is politically correct,” Tym Buacharern, a tied to race,” she said. “When you get into perms and relaxers makeup artist who has worked on “Black Panther,” and all of these things to alter what is naturally yours, let’s be “Dreamgirls” and the “Hunger Games” series, criticizes beauty honest, it’s embracing a race or nationality that is not your schools for not doing enough. “Let’s take it to a place that’s real own.” and lasting. For example, every brand is launching 40 foundation colors now because it’s the trendy thing to do. But is In a time lapsed video, London Myers, an up-and-coming the brand actually doing the work — the initiatives and Cameroonian-Irish model, documented her experience outreach? It’s not just about putting a black model next to Gigi backstage as she waited while stylists passed her by. She wrote Hadid. The stock needs to be there, and not only 40 shades at in the post: your Times Square store. The people at the counter need training.”

Fenty Beauty campaign below

“Indeed, education is often cited as an issue. They teach predominantly how to work on Caucasians,” he goes on to say.

Moreover, he believes that younger makeup artists are relying too much on YouTube tutorials.

“YouTube is amazing for inspiration when you’re experienced, but it does the young makeup artist a major disservice because you’re learning from someone who’s great on doing makeup only on himself or herself,” Mr. Buacharern says. “You need to learn the fundamentals first, “ he continues, “Those skills, include shade matching, finding the right formulas for skin types and working with who is in front of you.”

It’s no surprise that with more women of color being leading ladies, there are reasonable challenges with entrusting their image to these professionals. “ It’s about being comfortable and not having to worry about the hair and makeup part so they can focus on the work of acting,” Tym concludes. It has been known that some blockcharting actresses have hired their own glam squad to perfect their look.

Sam Fine, a makeup artist known for working with Naomi Campbell, Iman and Queen Latifah, is not convinced. Being in the industry since 1991, he has seen cosmetics collections developed for women of color come and go. “There was Revlon, when they released ColorStyle, and also Maybelline Shades of You — where are they now?” Mr. Fine said.

“I don’t need special treatment from anyone. What I need is for hairstylists to learn how to do black hair. I’m so tired of people avoiding doing my hair at shows. How dare you try to send me down the runway with a linty busted afro. We all know if you tried this on a white model, you’d be #canceled.”

making it easier for customers to get their hands on what were once considered niche products,” she says. “The mass expansion of the natural hair market forced independent blackowned companies to compete with corporations that previously ignored it.”

Not all bad, with some make up brands launching expansive cosmetic lines, more entrepreneurs of color, such as The Lip Bar and Briogeo, are starting to put its mark on this complex industry; however, natural hair discrimination in the workplace still feel commonplace (though both California and New York recently passed laws against it ). Brands and backstage runway shows are continuing to come under fire.

Leona Wilson, NYC salon owner of LW Salon, describes the diversification of the hair-care market as a blessing and a curse, “The blessing? The giants took ‘us’ from specialty stores or from small shelf space to major retailers,

In Los Angeles Times, it indicated that almost 71% of black adults in the U.S. have worn their hair natural at least once by 2016.

www.styleandglam.com

“We [women of color] have spending power, so it goes far beyond a trend for companies: It’s in their best economic interest to be more inclusive. Black women spend 80% more on cosmetics than our non-black counterparts, ” Wilson claims.

It is clear that as more people of color demand for equality in the beauty sector, more “true” research, development and marketing dollars will be expected to satisfy all demographics.

With this issue questioning the relevancy of these company that lacks support for diversity, it is in its best interest for major cosmetic companies to get on board, to promote its longevity in the industry and the overall bottom line.

5 Breakout Hairstyle Trends For Spring ’20

ew season, new hairstyle, right? Or at least, that is what all of the cutting edge hair gurus tell us, but honestly, who needs a reason to chop off or add some luscious locs. Go fierce and try one of these bold styles in the new year for the new you.

Jawline Bob

Deep Side Part

When it comes to hitting refresh on your appearance, turn up the voltage with a dramatic deep side part. Take the part further across the face, creating a side-swept style and voila...instant volume and texture. Whether you’re rocking a pixie, bob, midlength hair or long Rapunzel tresses, this craze will highlight the eyes, slim the face and emphasize the cheekbones.

Seasoned celebrity stylist Garren (Brook Shields and Madonna’s hairstylists) emphasizes the look should be crisp and clean, stating, “The blunt bob should cut like a razor, right at the jaw.”

The severe shape should highlight your neckline and jaw, giving you a symmetrical frame around the face and a modelesque jawline. Whether it has a voluminous wave or a sleek, shiny finish, try parting it down the middle or toss it to one side for a sexier vibe.

Gamine Pixie

With a play on the British term, “boyish” and “elfish,” most feared this cut for looking too masculine, but no worries, this ultra chic style is now all the rage. Making a comeback, be daring with bold choices like colored highlights and messy curls.

Shag Bangs

According to editorial stylist Mandee Tauber, "It's all about the fresh, textured movement of shag bangs,"she explains. Don’t want to cut your own hair? Now you can add on a clip on bang for the same look. Even wear this bang with a ponytail for a casual feel.

STRAIGHT FROM THE BEACH

1. Start by working Slick Hold Styling Pomade through

damp hair, making sure to not ‘brush’ it through with your fingers too much. You want to retain as much texture and natural movement possible. Twist hair in sections to help it clump together and not go fluffy.

2.

Dry hair with gentle heat until hair is 80% dry. Don’t over dry! Gently shake hair out and mold into place with the palms of your hands.

When done right, this celebrity favorite is perfect for parties and red carpets. Create the dewy look and pair it with a bold lip for a strong statement.

Thanks to celebrities, fashion shows and red carpets around the world, this sleek look is just in time for the summer, whether you’re heading to the beach or a night out. But how do you actually do it? What products do you have to have? The ‘wet look’ can be broken down two ways – smooth it out for the ‘Sleek and Shiny’ look or the more textured ‘Straight from the beach’ approach. Check out the following instructions for a perfect slick back hairstyle and hit the runway.

THE SLEEK AND SHINY LOOK It’s the famous look where hair is slicked back through the top and the sides, cascading down the back all shiny and dewy!

1. Comb your wet hair back from your face using a wide tooth . comb. Comb straight from front to back over the crown.

Comb the sides flat and all the way through to the back behind your ear.

2. Apply a generous amount of Slick Hold Styling Pomade following the track marks from the wide tooth comb through the top and sides.

3. Apply gently heat from your dryer to secure hair in place (high heat will create a matte finish).

Think about creating signature goods and services that your competitors are not currently providing. Now being remembered is a little simpler. What you name your company can be helpful or an inconvenience to some, as they may have difficulty searching for cumbersome titles. Keep your name short and sweet but unique enough to avoid having your audience sift through a thousand names that are similar.

5. Tell your story.

Nowadays everyone is eager to talk about their childhood, using public mediums. The purpose is to give your audience ample information about who you and your brand are. It’s about being transparent. It also gives your brand an emotional tone and deeper meaning to your marketing message. Your back story should be favorable, including biographies, testimonials and credentials.

Time to get out your pen and paper and start jotting down your strategy. Good Luck.

Coconut Oil:

The Good, Bad And Ugly Heather Pollen

R

ecently experts have been tapping the brakes on this once named “end all, be all” home remedy, arguing that some studies show adverse health benefits when orally consuming coconut oil. But what about the skin? Despite the controversy, skincare experts still sing praises for its natural antibacterial and anti inflammatory properties, not to mention, it is accessible and an inexpensive item used in a daily regimen.

Before you head out to your local supermarket to get a jar of coconut oil, just know that not all oils are good for you.

Coconut oil is rich in linoleic acid, an unsaturated omega-6 fatty acid, which helps retain the moisture content of your skin, creating that silky smooth feel. It also exfoliates the outer layer of dead skin cells, making your skin softer. High quality coconut oil is an all-natural ‘anti-aging’ moisturizer when applied topically. Then skin and connective tissues absorbs the oil, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. On the contrary, low-quality coconut oil can be highly processed (and possibly contaminated), which can lead to pesky breakouts and other skin irritations.

Refined coconut oil Refined coconut oil is oil that has been extracted from previously dried coconut meat with chemical solvents or through physical extraction methods. Coconut oil produced this way must be purified through refining, which means some of the beneficial nutrients in coconut oil are lost.

Unrefined coconut oil Unrefined coconut oil is often referred to as “virgin” coconut oil. Technically, coconut oil by nature is refined, because the oil must be extracted out of the coconut. In its extraction process — wet-milling — the oil doesn’t need any additives or require bleaching, reducing its exposure to high levels of heat, like refined coconut oil. Also, allowing it to keep its distinct coconut flavor and odor.

Virgin vs. extra-virgin coconut oil As mentioned, “virgin” coconut oil is unrefined coconut oil, but there is literally no difference between virgin and extra-virgin coconut oil, except for the amount of fatty acids. With no regulations governing the purity of coconut oil, one is not better than the other. The only way to tell that you’ve got a properly pressed, unrefined oil is to use your nose – if it has a sweet smell like a freshly cracked coconut, then bingo.

Glass vs. plastic container Always buy coconut oil that comes in a sealed glass jar to lock in the nutrients. Plastic containers are typically mass-produced and a lower quality counterpart. While good economically, the high levels of lauric acid will destroy the plastic over time, leeching into the oil itself.

Scouring department and convenience stores, here are a few of the best coconut oil products we could find. Check page 60.

Winning “Best Dressed” at 2018 Glam Awards, a red carpet awards ceremony, I thought this would be another interview with a model and her extensive modeling resume (a mile long). As I began to dig deep into Lani’s life, I knew she had a story to tell. In dealing with her daily struggles, she uses modeling to help overcome them. Attempting to get her agoraphobia in check, she focuses on the love for her 4 children and modeling.

The Heart Of Gold Designer: Eva Dixon Inspirational, Advocate And Momma Bear Jamyce Patterson

LIFE AS A DESIGNER Eva Dixon, owner of “I Do Designs By Eva,” learned how to sew patterns at the age of nine from her grandmother.

Being in business for almost 25 years, she is known for custom dancewear and elegant bridal gowns.
