Beauty & the Dives

Living in Los Angeles has its perks when it comes to a social scene. There is always something to do and some place to be. But most importantly, there is always someone there to make those times a photo op, even at the divest of places. So how do you keep your beauty up to par when you are invited to dive into the dive bars of LA? Well, see below for my must have beauty products. They are my makeup go-to’s for looking my best while being under dressed.

The Burgundy Room

Where: Cahuenga Corridor | Hollywood

The Look & Product:

Sultry Siren: Achieve this look with Hourglass Cosmetic’s Adorn Lipstick in Cherish, the perfect deep shade of red to compliment the dark burgundy low-lights of this Hollywood bar.

What: This dark (and yes I do mean pitch black dark) narrow bar will have you disappearing into the Hollywood night. Don’t be alarmed by the skeletons above the bar…those are just extras from Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

Most random moment: Once during a girl’s night out, we were graced with the presence of Johnny Knoxville decked out in a full on sailor suit. Doesn’t get any better than that.

Snakepit Alehouse

Where: Melrose | West Hollywood

The look: Tough girl with a heart of gold: Smokey eyes with pale pink cheeks. Try gloMinerals Smoky Eye palette and their gloBlush in Rosebud.

The 411: Are you a beer drinker? Then this is your spot. 20 beers on tap, mostly tried and trues like the Busch family and Pyramid.

Favorite moment: After one crazy filled night, my friends and I landed at the Snakepit, ending the night tangoing across Melrose at 2am. Where were the paparazzi for that moment?

Kibitz Room

Where: Fairfax | West Hollywood

History lesson: Tucked alongside the Famous Fairfax deli, Canter’s, this legendary bar has housed some of the best 80’s hair bands of our times (think Aerosmith). Still keeping with its true roots, Kibitz keeps its drinks strong and its stage (more like bar walkway) ready for up and coming music acts.

Jukebox Maven: Tight jeans, some killer dancing shoes and Too Faced Lava Gloss Eye Liner. This eyeliner will summon your inner Joan Jett.
