    Do You Trust MUA's w/o Eyebrows?

    Well, 'tis the season, so this afternoon, I had my sister cut my hair and I shaved off my eyebrows, as I usually do this time of the year. Odd, perhaps, but I enjoy the androgyny that eyebrowlessness brings. However, I wasn't booking as many makeup jobs last year. I enjoy my look without...

    Depotting Lipgloss?

    Is it possible to do it yourself? I'd like to make some space in my traincase, and I was curious as to whether or not this was possible without making a hideously obscene waste of product. I know I've seen tutorials here on how to "depot" lipsticks into palettes and containers, but I couldn't...

    What's the Ettiquite....?

    Alright, so here's the situation... I got my sister in for the Antiquitease/Colour event today, and we were all pretty amped about seeing the new colors in play. I kind of wandered around the store with my friend while she was getting her face done, but periodically, I'd check out what was...

    w00t! 8 months @ Bally's for Free!

    I got an awesome surprise in the mail this afternoon! Apparently, I entered an online radio contest awhile back and I got an envelope today filled with 8 30-Day passes to any Bally's of my choice. As well as 2 30-day passes to some tanning salon, but I adore my pale complexion, so I might try...

    America's Most Smartest Model

    Did anyone watch this after the Rock of Love Reunion Special? Hi-larious! I'm already addicted. Andre the Russian makes me all kinds of moist, and in some bizarre way, I'm kind of rooting for Mandy Lynn, the Playboy/tire catalogue model. Even if she looks like a tan version of Blade from...

    H-D and the future of Makeup...

    I found this article yesterday, and I figured it'd be an interesting read for some of you. http://www.iwata-airbrush.com/resources/hdtv_makeup.jsp I, for one, am apprehensive of going from a more controlled situation like photography into something like film and TV, especially with this rise...

    Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place with Dynamite Shoved Up My Bum...

    That's what it feels like for me right now. There are alot of sage women (and even a few sage fellas) here, and I just need a place to vent. Essentially, I'm caught between the middle of a vicious catfight. In one corner, we have Friend A, who I've known for about a year and though our...

    Laura Gellar's Spackles : Your Opinions?

    Ok, so I'm new to Primers of all kinds, and I recently picked up one by Cinema Secrets. It's good, but light, and if I'm going to continue to build my tools, I know I'm going to need something a bit denser for rougher skin. I heard Laura Gellar's Face Spackle was perfect for this, and I also...

    BLACK GLITTER? Anyone????

    I'm looking to use black glitter for a photoshoot, but unfortunately, I'm at a loss as to where to look. MAC doesn't sell any, and I've tried eBay, but all I found was chunky glass stuff. I don't want to use a pigment because of the powder; the medium would make it wet and paintlike, I only...

    Tis (almost) the Season...What are your picks for the Scariest Films???

    Alright, so Halloween is a over a month away, but you wouldn't be able to tell that by looking at all the decorations houses and shops are putting up. Admittedly, it's my favorite holiday, and I can't wait for it to come. SO, in the spirit of the upcoming holiday, what are your picks for the...

    A Video Tutorial Subsection?

    Just a thought, but what about adding a subforum devoted to video tutorials. I love going to the video tutorials, but more recently there seems to be an increased amount of video tutorials popping up, making it a bit harder for me to find good text based ones (no offense to those of you who do...

    Clean & Dirty [photoshoot last night!]

    So, last night was my first shoot in awhile doing makeup, and I pulled out all the stops I could. I got to use my new aDesign brushes (which I'll be writing a review on those for those curious about their quality later today.) I shot with a local model who does predominantly moody, fetish work...
