An awesome VISION

2010-02-02T16:19:00.000-08:00

...for a campaign to promote World Sight Day.

Photographer RANKIN and a very talented group of Makeup Artists used their skills to artistically portray and highlight the fact that two thirds of blind people in the world are women.

I absolutely love the fact that peoples talents can be used to raise awareness for some of the most important issues and causes.

I love when an artist pushes the envelope AND ABSOLUTELY LOVE that MY favorite artist included some AWESOME makeup in his video!

The concept is amazing and it is so outside the box.
Even though the images are in black and white the makeup and the message transcends beautifully.
The jewels on the face are different and so fierce!!!
I am definitely re-creating this look.
Love it!

Z- Palettes

2010-01-11T17:05:00.000-08:00

Last week I entered a contest Naimies was having on facebook. They were giving away a free Z-palette and I won!!!

Z- Palettes have a magnetic base and keeps all your makeup in one place. It is easy to clean and through the clear window, you know exactly what colors are inside!
You can switch out your shadows or blush according to job so you are a lot more organized and ready to go!

I cant wait to use it!

Products I LOVE

2010-01-07T12:46:00.000-08:00

I know how frustrating it is to try a product and it just doesn't do what you want it to.
So... I decided to help by posting products that I have tried and can vouch for.

It is hard for me to find a lip gloss that I can wear all of the time and is not too sticky but stays on. I think I have found it!

Bare Escentuals Lip Gloss in Sugar Cookie

$14
I love that it just glides on and stays put. The color is just enough and smells delish!
Thanks E!

Ladies this has got to be my absolute favorite powder ever!

Makeup Forever HD Colorless Powder

$30.00

It sets your foundation, fills in lines, mattifies your skin, but is still soooo soft.
It seriously feels great on your skin.

Try them for yourselves!!!

I'm inspired!

2009-12-28T14:31:00.000-08:00

Miss Brigitte Bardot has inspired everyone from Andy Warhol, to The Beatles, & now Beyonce', Jay-Z and Robin Thicke.
I'm thinking of a photo shoot with a sultry, sexy model and lots of lashes and eyeliner!

See what I mean?

Take a listen to Miss Bardot's song "Moi Je Joue" that was sampled by Jay and Robin for Meiple'.

Action!

2009-12-28T13:56:00.000-08:00

I really enjoy working on set and feeling everyone's creativity come alive, hard work and energy.
Here is a video I worked on for the band Glory For The People.
After you hear this song you won't be able to stop humming it in your head.
Run and get the single on itunes NOW!

I can not wait to see this movie!

Perfect Canvas- Rihanna

2009-12-18T13:03:00.000-08:00

Rihanna is so striking!
She is a perfect canvas for make-up.
Here are some looks from her new video "HARD"
Best scene in the video is her in pink lipstick on top of the pink tank!
LOoove it!

Temptu Personal Airbrush System

2009-12-18T12:43:00.000-08:00

This is on my Christmas list and I can not wait to unwrap this little puppy!

This great airbrushing tool is perfect for that immaculate look we all want. Unlike the huge airbrushing systems with large compressors and guns you have to clean after each use, this compressor is small and uses foundation pods that click in and out very easily.
Because the Foundation pods are a bit expensive, I wouldn't recommend using this as your job airbrushing system. It is nice to have your own personal airbrushing machine to get your makeup done easy and looking picture perfect!

Temptu Airbrush Makeup System $225.00
Temptu Air Pod Foundation $55.00 (comes with 2 pods)

Working on make-up for this album cover was great, trying to figure out how to best apply this type of makeup was the funnest to me.
This look is great and I'm thinking of doing another shoot like this in GOLD!!!!

Don't you just LOVE IT??!!!

Bare Escentuals

2009-12-14T15:51:00.000-08:00

Usually, I find this product at Sephora.
I faithfully use Bare Minerals Foundation Primer (AMAZING!) skin feels so soft and definitely helps fill in wrinkles and imperfections before applying foundation.

When I walked into the South Coast Plaza this weekend I was pleasantly surprised to see the actual Bare Escentuals store! I absolutely fell in love with the shadows. They are really high pigmented, the colors are BEAUTIFUL, are easy to blend, and my favorite...You can mix the colors!
You can also wear it dry for that feathery look, or wet for a darker, fiercer eye makeup!

I want each and every color in these and they are only 13 dollar$!

Sephora Sculpting Disc

2009-12-09T17:45:00.000-08:00

I love this Sculpting Disc by Sephora!
It is perfect for that highlight and shadow that will leave you looking STRIKING!
The brown color is not too harsh and creates a great chiseled face illusion and along with the highlight can really pop your cheekbones...then a little bit of highlight down your nose and Voilá!!!

Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton

2009-12-08T16:04:00.000-08:00

Inspiration...

When I think of color schemes or concepts for make-up, my thoughts are reverting to some things I have seen in the past...Maybe an old album cover caught my attention, or the sky looked a certain color on a beautiful evening...or maybe a color scheme that was used in a great music video struck a chord or a certain feeling within me...anything from commercials to nature or even other artists inspire my creativity....

I saw this documentary a few years back and realized how similar my thought process was to that of Marc Jacobs'...it was so inspiring and led me to express myself and my thoughts and ideas through my own art...MAKEUPBYNEIDA!

I would like to share this with you... It is only part 2 but I suggest you don't miss out on seeing the entire thing.

Enjoy!
