MAC Cosmetics and Wonder Woman team up (TBA)

SUPPOSEDLY...MAC Cosmetics and DC Comics are teaming up to launch a Wonder Woman limited edition line in Spring 2011. Like most limited edition lines MAC produces- this line will more than likely carry lipsticks, glosses, nail laquers, shadows, etc. Quantity-wise, I don't think the line will be as big as 'Venomous Villains' for example. Either way, if this falls through, I will be quite excited. I am quite certain a red/berry lipstick will be included and that's enough to make me convulse. Below is some Wonder Woman eye-candy...she's so beautiful:

Francois NARS, 'Makeup Your Mind'

Posted via email from shaheera's posterous

What I'm looking forward to right now...and other ramblings...

I got an email confirmation this afternoon about ordering the book, Makeup Your Mind by Francois Nars, the creator of the NARS brand.

What's funny, or worrisome about this is I don't really recall ordering this book. Perhaps I just happened up on it on Amazon.com, while taking a bite off one of my many Crunch Crisp bars (which are is soooooooooooooooooooo goooooooooooooood). If you know me, then you know that while eating such deliciousness, I become susceptible to euphoria, and/or I pass out. So there in lies the answer! I ordered this seemingly awesome, raved-about NARS, makeover book while eating a huge chocolate bar! Bravo!

I previously purchased About Face by Scott Barnes, a renowned makeup artist for celebrities, most notably: Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, Iman, and many many more. He seems to specialize in, or focus on how to get the best makeup results by contouring, highlighting and manipulating features as much as possible. If you watch his few YouTube tutorials, you will see more downsized, everyday, wearable looks. The book, however, displays very dramatic before/after results.

Barnes does not follow the foundation/concealer routine, or colour theory in general, like most others; he chooses two very different shades that he contours and highlights with, then blends together to form a flawless canvas. I love the book because it has some good tips, but mainly because I find his technique very intriguing. Would I personally use him as a guide? No, simply because it seems tedious trying to find a common shade between two drastically different ones (not that it's impossible- it's actually commendable) because I live in a very rushed world.

Barnes simply follows this dramatic makeup routine on his clients because they are being photographed heavily. Though not a fan of Jennifer Lopez; I do find her makeup to be gorgeous and flawless. She can carry the drama with her delicate features and she always looks amazing. 

If you want a book that is somewhat similar to Kevyn Aucoin's classic before & after makeup books- you might really enjoy About Face by Scott Barnes. Aucoin is forever classic, but pictures from Barnes' book are definitely worth checking out. Difficult, but Beautiful!!!
