Posted: Monday 24 November, 2008

The pressure is on for make-up artists competing in Lifetime’s new reality series Blush: The Search for the Next Great Make-Up Artist. Contestants from around the country have their eyes on some pretty good prizes: a Max Factor contract, an In Style shoot and $100,000 in cash. The show, hosted by Vanessa Marcil, premiered Nov. 11 with a Los Angeles-based house full of contestants: Sharzod Kiadeh, Jessica Millington, Myke Michaels, Farah Carter, Maura Mo Lewitts, Todd Homme, Nolan Makaawaawa, Rainell Chivonne and Maxi. Victoria’s Secret make-up artist Charlie Green is mentoring the artists through two different make-up competitions designed to test their technical skills and chair-side manner. Celebrity make-up artist Joanna Schlip (a frequent IMATS guest speaker) and In Style fashion director Hal Rubenstein are the judges, and will choose a finalist by mid-December. We’ll have the results here, plus an interview with the winner. Until then, we’d like to hear your comments about the show on our message boards!
Blush airs Tuesdays on Lifetime. Check local listings for show times.

U.K. team collaborates for a different 'Alice in Wonderland' - Tuesday 04 August, 2009

On a cold and cloudy Oxford afternoon, U.K. make-up artist Sarah Terry collaborated with photographer Rebecca Parkes, hairstylist Sean Butt and designer Bibian Blue to create this dark vision of Alice in Wonderland. The Victorian and Edwardian eras inspired Terry to contrast creams and gold hues with vibrant reds and smoky blacks. Appliqués, feathers, nail art and Butts’ elaborate hair design gave the looks texture. This particular Alice (Samantha Wilkinson) and White Rabbit (Blossom Blois) look innocent, but there’s a hint of mischief here, too. Let’s follow them down the path, shall we?
