M.J.: The Definition of a Legend


Yesterday, we lost a huge part of American history. I cannot think of another pop-culture icon that has left a bigger impression than Michael Jackson. His musical genius is often imitated but never duplicated, he was an individual that never followed trends, he made them.
Michael has been a part of my life for my ENTIRE life. My very first license plate on my very first car read "PYT" -- For obvious reasons ;).
No one had more originality or more imagination.
Michael, you will truly be missed.

I want to share a couple of my favorite M.J. moments:
First, I was reminded of this classic M.J. moment by one of my FB friends:

Remember when M.J. arrived late to his arraignment but still jumped on top of his truck and danced for his fans? LOL-- That's our Michael :)

Now I leave you with two of my FAVORITE M.J. videos: Remember The Time, I used to be enthralled by this video as a kid. It's still mad entertaining!




I heart this song! DIRTY DI-AH-NAH!!




And of course Billie Jean because it's such a cool video and he was so cute!


O.K. that was three, but I could have gone on all day!

LOVE YOU MICHAEL!

A.J. Crimson: Fantastic Makeup Artist


Hello Beauties!

As an artist I am constantly trying to learn and improve my craft. I'm always on the look out for fabulous makeup and I love tracing it back to the MUA (makeup artist) that is responsible for the look. When I saw Letoya Luckett's latest video, Not Anymore I could barely pay attention to the music because I was so mesmerized by the MAKEUP! The video has a 60's theme and the MUA created a perfect mix of retro and modern that just WORKED!

After a fair amount of rewinding, pausing and mental note-taking, I did a little research and found the MUA to be none other than AJ Crimson
For those of you not familiar with him allow me to give you a little background: I first discovered him on the first few seasons of America's Next Top Model (including the season with Eva and Toccara, he did the memorable tarantula shoot).

Since then he's beat the faces of many of your favorite stars--Estelle, Mya, Keisha Cole, Amerie, Brandy, Hillary Duff, and more. Recently he has started a lipgloss line with Keisha Whitaker called Kissable Couture , CHECK IT OUT!

Fun with color :)

This is a look that we did on a model. It kind of reminds me of a superhero :)

Makeup is something that should be fun! With very few rules (or any depending on who you talk to). I love to play with color and shapes and funky lashes! Feeling adventurous? Try an extreme cat-eye!

  • Liner: MAC fluidline
  • Shadow: MAC and Makeup Forever
  • Lashes: Sephora
*If you'd like to know the actual names of the colors used or any other information drop us a line!

A very pretty summer look we did on a model with no liner, just lashes :)

Golds and pinks are a fun way to use color without being too over-the-top. These colors look great in the sun and will give every girl a pretty glow.
  • Shadow: MAC
  • Medium length individual lashes
