If I only had a dollar for every time someone asks for a “fresh, natural makeup with a Kim Kardashian smokey eye”  If that sounds like an oxymoron… it’s not…no really!  You can wear a dramatic smokey eye look without looking like a character from one of those scary Japanese...

Are You STUCK in “Testing” Mode?

by MBMDiane on Apr 22, 2013 • 1 Comment
I’ve noticed a strange phenomenon over the last year or two with newer makeup artists, stylists, models and photographers. Back in the day free test shoots had a main purpose… to build your book and to refresh it with new and creative work periodically when needed. Once upon a time, paid testing through modeling agencies...

2012 was certainly full of newsworthy stories ranging from the awfulness of Hurricane Sandy to the Re-election of our President, and ridiculously uninteresting beginnings and endings of a few well publicized celebrity marriages. So it seems a bit crazy to even dwell on some silly trends…but as a makeup artist I must call attention to...

I cannot believe it’s 2013! Strangely once October hits I feel like the rest of the year just flies by. December always starts out innocently enough… the excitement of gift giving and parties and time with family, but somehow I always end up here – 5 pounds of bloat heavier and super dark circles from...
