THE GREAT ROCK N ROLL SWINDLE...

Malcom Mclaren was not on my "favorites" list. I am a loyal SEX PISTOL fan, a die hard as a teenager, and he was their controversial manager known for a selfish agenda while holding that title.HOWEVER. Malcom Mclaren was very impacting to the British punk movement as well as in the fashion industry collaborating with his girl, Miss Vivienne Westwood. 
both fashion and that punk movement have mean a lot to me and have definitely influenced me as an artist. So that said, I fell compelled to write a little R.I.P to Malcom Mclaren who passed away today at the age of 64 yrs old.

Sometimes even  conterversial people that did not sit highly in your respect zone, still deserve to be remembered.

MEET MARK.

OK it's time for me to talk makeup.  A lot of people ask me what my favorite brand to use is to be honest there are so many amazing brands of makeup out there it's hard to single it down to one.  I can definitely talk about my favorites though. The brands I will rely on at least one of their products on every single makeup gig I work.  

Meet Mark.

Mark Cosmetics is a fun, innovative makeup brand who puts as much attention into the quality of their products as well as their cute and clever packaging... Something that is not always the case with other brands but something that makes all the difference to me.

Today I am exposing a few of my favorite products from Mark and show you a look created with all Mark cosmetics. 

1. SEE THINGS CLEARLY BRIGHTING MOSITERIZER- 
I am a fanatic about fresh, healthy skin and this product feeds my frenzy for it by hydrating and brightening the skin with its Lotus flower and Citrus blend.  Its oil-free, non- comedogenic AND fragrance free so it doesn't irritate it only radiates the skin!






2. GOOD RIDDANCE CONCEALER-
OK when I LOVE a product I can't stop talking about it. This is one of my favorite finds in a LONG time.  This little pencil of goodness provides a beautiful, natural, skin perfecting finish and is as easy to apply as signing your name!  Just apply wear needed and blend your fingers or a foundation brush. Its oil free and fits easily in your bag for touch ups.  I never leave home with out mine!






3. JUST PINCHED TINTED BLUSH-
Next to mascara BLUSH is my favorite piece of makeup. It's got one of the worst reputations over the years thanks to the 80's intense use of it but it is the product that will take you from looking tired and dull to youthful and fresh if applied right.  I love JUST PINCHED INSTANT TINTED BLUSH.  This blush goes on smoothly and blends a beautiful "just pinched" flush of color into the skin.  Much easier to carry in your bag than a powdered blush with a brush too!




4. LASH SPLASH-
Well here it is. Mascara. My MUST HAVE ALWAYS makeup product. I do train jiujitsu and surf with this product on! The only thing I don't do with it is sleep with it (gross).  It's an INSTANT "hello, Im awake" to the face.  With summer around the corner I like to use a waterproof formula like lash splash because it fills my every need. Definines, lengthens, doesn't smudge but disappears when I cleanse at night. 






5. MARK KISSINK TINTED LIP MARKER-
Im a big fan of durability with my makeup products, the less reapplying the better!  I love Mark's Kissink tinted lip marker because it's a marathon winner. It provides a kissable stain of color over the lips and doesn't move until YOU want it to.





6. MARK GLO BABY GLO LIP GLOSS-
As a professional makeup artist I have CONTAINERS of all kinds of lip-glosses from a million different brands.  Mark's glo baby glo lip-gloss seems to ALWAYS find it self into my hands when working because it simply works amazing. It's not sticky; it does in fact create a "glow" over the lips and applies the PERFECT amount of color while hydrating. It's a super sexy way to complete your look and what woman doesn't love to look sexy?  



***THE FINAL LOOK***
A fresh, romantic, look that will last for hours and hours!
