Okay, so today I’m gonna spill the tea on my little adventure with Marc Jacobs and Nicki Minaj. It all started when I saw this campaign, Heaven by Marc Jacobs, pop up on my feed. You know, the spring 2022 one? Nicki Minaj was front and center, looking all sorts of fierce.
First thing I did? I went digging, of course. I had to know everything about this campaign. Turns out, it wasn’t just Nicki. There was Mena Suvari too, giving me total “American Beauty” vibes, and Paloma Elsesser, who’s just a queen in her own right. Harley Weir was the mastermind behind the camera, and let me tell you, the photos were a whole mood. They had this artsy, kind of dreamy vibe that I was totally into.
I got obsessed, no joke. I spent hours scrolling through pics, reading articles, basically inhaling everything related to this campaign. Nicki’s look, in particular, caught my eye. I mean, she’s always been a style icon, but this was different. It was like, edgy meets high fashion. She was rocking this dramatic red gown in one of the shots, and the makeup? Don’t even get me started. It was this black marbled look that was so unique, I just had to try it myself.
So, I gathered all my makeup – which, let’s be honest, is a lot – and got to work. It wasn’t easy, trying to recreate that marbled effect. I watched a ton of tutorials, messed up a bunch of times, but you know what? It was fun. I felt like a kid again, playing dress-up. And when I finally nailed the look (or at least, my version of it), I felt like a million bucks. I even took some selfies, feeling all fierce and fabulous, just like Nicki.
But it wasn’t just about the makeup. This whole thing got me thinking about Nicki’s style evolution. I went down a rabbit hole, looking at her old outfits, from the crazy colorful ones to the more sleek, sophisticated looks she’s been serving lately. It’s like, she’s not afraid to experiment and push boundaries, and I love that about her.
Here’s what I did:
- Dug deep into the Heaven by Marc Jacobs campaign.
- Got obsessed with Nicki’s look, especially the black marbled makeup.
- Tried to recreate the makeup look myself (many, many times).
- Reflected on Nicki’s style evolution and how much she inspires me.
- Felt like a total badass, even if just for a little while.
It’s crazy how a fashion campaign can spark all this, right? But that’s the power of style, I guess. It’s not just about clothes or makeup, it’s about expressing yourself, feeling confident, and having fun. And thanks to Marc Jacobs and Nicki Minaj, I got to do all of that. It was a wild ride, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Keep slaying, you all.
