7 dicas para aplicar e conservar cílios postiços


Os postiços em dois momentos: em cima no backstage da Nica Kessler e embaixo no da Giulia Borges
Depois de quatro dias com belezas “nada com iluminador”, surpresa nos dois primeiros backstages desse sábado (14.01), último dia da temporada carioca: cílios postiços. No desfile deGiulia Borges, eles aparecem só na parte de baixo, garantindo o efeito boneca. Na Nica Kessler, só em cima, avançando só um pouco no canto externo para abrir o olhar. Já que o tema do dia são eles, algumas dicas de experts no assunto:
. Esqueça as colas que vêm na embalagem dos cílios. A melhor é a Duo Eyelash Adhesive (veja abaixo). Segundo Cris Biato, ela é potente então basta uma pouca quantidade, o que evita a meleca.
. Não aplique diretamente a cola nos cílios. “Coloque um pouco na mão e passe os cílios nela”, ensina Robert Estevão. “Aí, espere ela secar por alguns segundos antes de encaixar perto dos cílios.”
. Um pouco de pó é ótimo para a cola aderir melhor. “Se tiver só base no local, fica mais difícil de grudar”, ensina Rogério Pontes, da equipe de Robert Estevão.
. Na hora de colocar, a dica de Cris Biato é “fazer olho de peixe morto”, ao invés de deixar só um aberto. “Com os olhos um pouquinho abertos você consegue enxergar melhor exatamente onde está colocando”
. Sempre ter um cotonete a mão, para ir limpando o excesso de cola à medida que aplica os cílios, é o truque de Luiz Bicalho, da equipe de Robert Estevão.
. Para um efeito menos fake, a dica de Cris Biato é “desfiar” os postiços. “Pegue uma tesoura para cílios (pode ser de unha também, desde que tenha a ponta bem fina) e vá fazendo cortes delicados nos cílios na vertical, para tirar um pouco do volume.”
. Comprou aqueles cílios incríveis e quer usar mais de uma vez? Então é bom conservá-los bem. Depois de usar, retire a cola com os dedos e use um pouco de álcool para higienizar. Para que eles durem, jamais aplique rímel neles.

Shooting para o calendario Maybelline 2012

embryolisse

Lait-Crème Concentrè (24-Hour Miracle Cream) is a rich moisturizing lotion. This specially formulated lotion is quite versatile; throw it in your travel bag when you don’t have enough space for numerous products. Our creamy lotion is really three products in one: the make-up artists use it as a primer, moisturizer, and make-up remover. It also reduces irritation after shaving!

Body Painting Tips and Techniques

[Photo of male model being bodypainted to appear as a painting in the style of Mondrian, during a charity art benefit in Seattle, 4/30/99]    Anyone who attempts body painting quickly discovers the lack of useful information and dearth of practical materials to accomplish successful body paintings. This situation has improved in recent years. It is becoming easier to find good paints to work with.
        Most traditional makeup techniques are incredibly messy and time consuming.  It's not unusual to hear of a full body painting taking 10 to 12 hours.  Eventually I learned of some better techniques that get the job done with a minimum of mess and time.








Markers

    Crayola, along with other companies, makes special markers for kids.  These are completely safe, as they are formulated under the assumption that kids will be marking themselves, and moms will need to wash it off.   These actually work well at making a translucent effect, similar to tattooing. [Photo of female model from back, having color applied with markers]Once it dries, it stays on till washed off. The biggest drawback is the size of the point. Even the bold markers take an excessive amount of time if a lot of body coverage is needed. I've been told that the human body averages 1.8 square meters of skin. That's a lot to cover with markers.    I have seen wide tip Crayola markers. These could make a stripe a third of an inch wide (8 mm). This is more useful for bodypainting.Also I have seen some markers that are labeled as non-toxic, with tips 12 mm wide. But I have only seen these in Red and Black. 
As for utility in Bodypainting, these markers have okay staying power. Primary advantage is that they can't peel off as paints can, and also won't pull or wrinkle when the skin stretches. They wash off very easy, but also will smear if they get to moist from water or sweat and are rubbed.
    Sakura makes some interesting 1" wide tip markers. These are watercolor, non-toxic markers. They stay on the skin fairly well until washed off. The most interesting colors are a metallic silver and a gold. These look good, and might be very useful for creating stripes and large areas metallic, but probably not practical for total coverage.




Airbrush Make Up

    This is probably the best, for safety, flexibility, and speed. Although more expensive than the airbrush acrylics mentioned below, this is a better way to go as airbrush textile acrylics, tend to crack and peel at high flexion points. Two artists airbrush a male model to create a stone gargoyle look.]If you are working for a commercial client, doing a photo shoot, then these are what you want to use.     A long time manufacturer is Kryolan. High quality makeup from germany.
    Dinair is another popular brand of Airbrush Makeup. They specialize in it, and also make standard skin colors Their focus seems to be more traditional glamour makeup, using airbrush technique.

     Mehron  has announced a of airbrush color. I've not had great success with Mehron in the past. The price is good, but I find it flakes and powders off easily when dry.

    You may also want to experiment with Kryolan's  Brandel color sprays in small cans.  Unlike other hair colors, these lay down a solid opaque layer, just like real spray paint. It dries quickly to the touch and is fairly difficult to rub off.  But in soap and water it dissolves quickly.  It appears to be traditional hair spray loaded up with pigment.  It has the same obnoxious fumes as old fashioned air sprays.  I really like their gold and silver sprays, because it is possible to lay down a solid shiny layer.  Black is incredibly messy though. Over spray is a real problem because of the fine aerosol mist these produce.  Use a face mask! Seems to run US$6 to US$7 for a small can. It requires at least 5 cans for total body coverage. You can find them at good theatrical makeup supply stores. Here's one online source I found.
 





MagicColor  and Mehron Face/Body Paints

    MagicColor is  from Ben Nye, a Hollywood makeup company. These are opaque, but apply thin with a brush, and dry quick. (The main ingredient is alcohol.) They work well with airbrush. 4 ozs. can do whole body coverage. Price is around US$10 for a 4 oz bottle. Most primary colors are available, along with glitter metallic. Warnings are on the label against using red, pink or orange in eye areas. These are good all around makeup grade paints, not cost prohibitive, and with fairly good staying power. The red stains a little on skin, but cleans off easy. It does stay tacky for awhile, so you may want to apply setting powder.    Mehron's  line of Liquid Makeup is a little cheaper, and available in larger pint sizes for about US$13. So far I've only used the yellow, which seems to go on thin, and the red. It doesn't seem as flexible as the MagicColor. But I need to try more colors.




Airbrush Textile Acrylics
    These are a great balance between low cost and utility. I learned about them from a model, who had used them before. I was nervous about using something that wasn't specifically formulated for application on skin.  Yet she said she had used them with no ill effects and they are marked as non-toxic.  They are actually designed for airbrushing on Fabrics.   They dry quickly and don't rub off easy. Because they are made for textiles their flexibility is superior to other paints. Yet they still wash off easily in soap and water. They also work well when applied by regular bristle brush.
  The two brands I've used are Createx and Jurex(photo). Both work well and run about $5 for a 4 oz bottle.  Larger bottles are available, but usually only black and white in most retail outlets.  Createx has an iridescent line of colors that come out quite nice, with a shiny look, as opposed to a matte flat finish. The Jurex colors seem to work better than the Createx when using a bristle brush.  They are available at any good art store that stocks airbrush supplies.
    I use a Pasche airbrush for fine work and a larger production airbrush for large areas. The large sprayer I bought at a hardware store for $20. It works well enough, but I found a smaller one at SearsGroup of six bodypainted models, 4 were painted with larger touch up spray gun. called a touch up gun, which uses a pint size canister.  These larger sprayers are the only way to go when you have to paint a lot of people or lay down an overall basecoat.
    The key to good airbrush make up is to lay down the thinnest opaque coat you can.  Thicker or multiple coats peel and flake more readily.  Thin your paint, the concentration in the bottle is usually too thick and  will get used up too soon. There are good books at the art stores on air brush techniques for obtaining different effects.






AGPC Makeup

I have discovered an airbrush makeup that is safe on skin and that comes off with soap and water...yet has good staying power. You just set it with a talc powder and use a damp sponge afterwards to remove the powder. It's called Airbrush Grade Prosthetic Cosmetic or AGPC.Model Rob Zverina, painted with AGPC2 at a gallery showing.It's from Michael Davy Film & TV Make Up , in Orlando FL. The only drawback is its expense. Even a four oz bottle is $35. But if you are painting for a long event, or other profesional job or commercial film or video shoot, this is the best. And prices drop if you order large containers. Many colors are available. I was particularly impressed with the white. When sprayed on, the AGPC2 (A more opaque version than the standard AGPC) is opaque with one coat.
The color selection is large, not as large as Createx though, with it's cool iridescent and pearlescent colors that look slick and shiny after drying. But you may be able to get the same effect by mixing silver or gold makeup powders into the paint. They also have UltraViolet reactive Day Glo colors.
It's possible that this makeup could last one to two days, making it ideal for events such as Burning Man.  This stuff doesn't sweat or rinse off, both water and soap are required to remove it. So it's perfect for large events or parties.




Liquid Latex


    Liquid Latex has become quite popular in the last couple of years. It has been available as a make-up material for a long time, but now some companies are making it available in several colors, including black and clear, beyond the traditional flesh tone.
    Initially it has been promoted as a way of making instant latex clothing. But it has real potential as body paint. Once it sets, it is much less messy than any other paint. And the setting time is quite quick, ten minutes or so. It also cleans off well, if applied to shaved skin!
    I have been exploring the use of latex as a base for other materials and paints. Some very interesting effects, textures and colors may be achieved. For example, you can mix in metallic powder or sprinkles, such as in this costume seen at Key West in '96. Or you can create dimensional textures with beads or sand. A reptilian texture can be achieved this way, and is quite convincing! Or one can try embedding larger objects, or fabrics. I painted a model at Burning Man 97  with a single coat of latex, and it lasted into the next day! It was finally removed when it started to itch. It is actually easier to remove multiple coats than single coats. Multiple coats form a strong layer, which peels off easily. People usually use sponge brushes to apply it.
   The trouble with Sponge brushes is that they don't leave a perfect smooth surface. I've experimented with using airless sprayers, and thinning the latex slightly with water. This actually works very well. Latex loves to stick to itself so you have to remember to use either transparent makeup setting powder on it, and or latex polish, which the companies that sell the latex also sell. When sprayed this way it looks great, and stays on well if the skin is well cleaned of body oils before application. BUT-- this great looking thin coat is harder to remove quickly than the thicker brushed on coats, which peel off. If the latex is going to be worn for several hours that usually helps--by that time it just rubs off easily.
    Another advantage to latex is that it can serve as a protective barrier between the skin and paints or materials that are not as safe as make-up.

   REMEMBER!

It is possible for someone to have a latex allergy! Test the individual model first before covering large areas!!
    I have had success creating very shiny metallic looks using latex and metallic powders. This differs slightly from the technique of mixing the powder into the latex. Instead, wait till the latex is almost set, but still tacky. Then gently brush on the powder.
    A company on the web that sells Liquid Latex in all colors, including UltraViolet is Deviant .
Deviant sells the ORIGINAL, tried-and-true quality-tested FANTASY LIQUID LATEX. As Jerry Pena describes it, "We have been quality tested and on the market for over 4 years. We have been active with the Burning Man organization (including the Climate Theater/Anon Salon, S.F.), we actively promote the arts communities (including sponsorships in music, theater, movie, video and stills, and we were featured on E! Entertainment ), the sexual communities (including straight, gay, fetish, BDSM, swinger, etc., as indicated on our "demos" webpage), and we actively support and promote out product on both a retail and wholesale level. "

    All in all, Liquid Latex is tricky. It both requires and rewards experimentation. 




Tempera


    Tempera has long been popular as a body paint, because it is very cheap, and very safe. Unfortunately, it looks great wet, but as soon as it dries, it becomes powdery, and flakes off rapidly. Makes a terrible mess. Not Recommended.

Best 10 Tips for Face Painting


Tip 1: Value Your Paints
Professional face paint and stage makeup can be expensive, particularly if you're painting a whole kids party's worth of faces. Don't leave them around where people can get hold of them and try them out for themselves. Try out different types of paint to see which you find the best for working with, such as paint in tubs or paint in stick form. (See also: Safety Tips for Face Painting)
Tip 2: Sponge Don't Brush
If you're wanting to cover a large area or put on a base color, use a sponge to apply the paint rather than a brush, it'll be quicker. Having a different sponge for different colors eliminates the necessity of washing out the sponge during a painting session (the same applies to brushes).
Tip 3: Be Patient and Think Thin
Let the first color dry before applying a second. If you don't, they'll mix and you'll probably have to wipe it off and start again. Also, rather than applying one thick layer of paint, which may crack, apply a thin layer, let it dry, then apply another.
Tip 4: Visualize the Finished Face
Know what you're going to paint before you start, don't make it up as you go along. Kids aren't known for their patience and won't be able to sit still why you ponder what to do next. Have a basic face design fixed in your mind; you can always add special touches to this once you're finished.
Tip 5: Special Effects
The paint you're using will work as a basic glue. To create bumpy noses or big eyebrows, soak a bit of cotton wool in the paint, place on face, cover with a piece of tissue, and paint. Puffed rice or wheat make ideal warts; simply cover with a bit of tissue and paint. For an extra-ghostly effect, apply a light dusting of flour once you've finished painting the face (be sure to get your subject to close their eyes tightly).
Tip 6: Use Stencils
If you're not confident painting freehand, or are short of time, why not use a face painting stencil? Stars, hearts, flowers will all stencil onto a cheek. Have stencils in a few sizes to hand, to allow for small and larger faces. (The free stencils collection has a variety to print and cut out, including a some small face painting stencils.)
Tip 7: Temporary Tattoos
Even faster than stencils are temporary tattoos . But some people's skin reacts badly to them and they take longer to remove. Glitter is also great for a quick, dramatic effect, but it gets everywhere and is very hard to get rid of! (Also check that the glitter is suitable, seeSafety Tips for Face Painting.)
Tip 8: Getting a Decision
If you've got a row of kids lined up to have their faces painted, ask the next kid in line what they'd like a few minutes before you've finished the face you're currently painting. This way they've a little time to try to decide and you don't lose painting time. You may suggest a few faces, to try to limit the choice to one you're confident painting. Consider creating a chart of designs for kids to choose from; it makes it much easier for the kids to make up their minds. Include simple things such as hearts or balloons, as many kids love these.
Tip 9: Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Who's the Most Beautiful of All?
Remember to take a mirror so the person who's face you've just painted can see the result. Also bring a high stool for kids to sit on; not having to bend over for so long will save you from back ache .
Tip 10: Stock Up on Tissues
You'll probably use more tissues or wipes than you think for wiping your hands, brushes, etc. Face painting can be messy, but it's fun! Baby wipes work fast and easy for 'mistakes'; you can also be assured they are safe to use on faces. (See also: How to Make Your Own Baby Wipes .)

gimme more

OK, I recognize that Britney worked her butt off on her Femme Fatale tour, but where was the star on TV? In February, I wondered why Britney had made so few public appearances when she was about to release a new album, and while we did eventually see her perform on a handful of shows like "Good Morning America," her promo schedule was nothing compared to those undertaken by Gaga, RiRi or Justin Bieber. Now that Britney is reportedly engaged and will take some time off, it’s highly likely we won’t be seeing much of the 30-year-old in 2012 either. We miss hearing from you, Britney! How about another MTV “For the Record” documentary when you release your next album?

Tom Felton está no Rio para divulgar o último filme da saga Harry Potter

O Dia - Do que você mais sente falta?
Tom Felton - O que eu mais vou sentir falta, vai ser das pessoas. Já estou sentindo saudade. Menos o elenco, mais a equipe. São pessoas que eu via sempre nesses dez anos e eles fazem um trabalho incrível. Na verdade, os atores levam crédito demais. A gente não faz nada na verdade. A gente fica lá por cinco minutos. Os caras por trás das cenas é que fazem tudo.

barber's pole :)


The origin of the red and white barber pole is associated with the service of bloodletting and was historically a representation of bloody bandages wrapped around a pole. During medieval times, barbers performed surgery on customers, as well as tooth extractions. The original pole had a brass wash basin at the top (representing the vessel in which leeches were kept) and bottom (representing the basin that received the blood). The pole itself represents the staff that the patient gripped during the procedure to encourage blood flow.

Barbers, being medieval surgeons, would be present at the birth of a child, and were there to cut the umbilical cord—a red (artery) and blue (vein) on a pale colour umbilical cord was passed to the parents by the barber after the umbilical cord had been cut, and this blue/red/pale tube or pole became the Barber's pole, and the symbol of the pole represents a freshly cut umbilical cord.
Others opine that the red, white and blue format in the United States may be an homage to the colours of the flag.

In some parts of Asia, a red, white and blue barber pole is used as a symbol for a brothel. While prostitution is illegal in many parts of Asia, laws against it are often not enforced to the degree that all public solicitations for it are eliminated. The barber's pole is used as a euphemistic way of advertising a brothel, thus reducing the likelihood of police intervention.
In South Korea, barber's poles are used both for actual barbershops and for brothels. Brothels disguised as barbershops, referred to as 이발소 (ilbalso) or 이용실 (iyongsil), are more likely to use two poles next to each other, often spinning in opposite directions, though the use of a single pole for the same reason is also quite common. Actual barbershops, or 미용실 (miyongsil), are more likely to be hair salons; to avoid confusion, they will usually use a pole that shows a picture of a woman with flowing hair on it with the words hair salon written on the pole.

Britney Spears, pictured shortly before her marriage to dancer Kevin Federline, proclaiming her love with a T-shirt with the words 'Mrs. Federline' across it. Although Britney did become Mrs Federline, the marriage was short-lived
