For up coming work...

The screen test went well for the short-length feature silent film titled Hell's Bells. Pictures to follow. The looks are Theda Bara & Delores Del Rio inspired. Very excited for this project to get under way in the next few months. Some light FX work in this project as well. I am happy as a clam.

A week from today, I have a tentatively scheduled photo shoot. Not sure on the details yet but I'm excited to do some more print work.

And as for new products...

I recently tried MAC's Greyscale black liner pencil. It's almost as dependable and soft as my favorite MAC black pencil Smolder. Yet Greyscale doesn't smudge or move as much as Smolder has a tendency to do. I will keep Smolder in my kit for high fashion/runway looks, but I will definately use Greyscale for bridal/longer wearing looks.

I also tried a drugstore brand foundation, Rimmel's Clean Finish foundation. So far I wouldn't use it for clients but for everyday wear makeup it has been lasting and giving medium to full coverage. I sheer it to medium with moisturizer because the full effect is a little obvious and has a tendency to look shiny. I have oily skin and I don't need extra shine but if you have dry skin this foundation could have the effect of a dewy skin. I definitely wouldn't write it off especially with a $4 price tag.

One last new product try was the ELF blotting papers. They work well enough for a wonderfull price tag of $1 for 50 sheets, but if you have an oily skin like myself it takes a few more than usual to get the job done. I probably won't get them for my kit but may use them in my purse as a cost efficient back up.

Well, that is all for now. Untill next time I wish you all happiness and makeup zen.
