I heart my airbrush


I recently invested in an airbrush system. I chose the Graftobian Walk About system. It’s lightweight and really user friendly. I can either plug it in or use the rechargeable battery pack. It came with starter packs of Graftobian’s HD Airbrush Glamour makeup with the corresponding HD solid foundations.

I love love love airbrushing makeup. It makes application so much faster and it gives such a polished flawless look. It’s amazing, plus it’s specifically designed for use with high definition cameras, which most people are using these days.

The airbrush also allows me to stencil on temporary tattoos and even cover existing tattoos. BIG fun.

I love my airbrush and would never go back to regular foundation.

great things to come

Filming begins next month for my first feature length film, Half Empty. I feel so lucky to be a part of this film and I’m looking forward to working with this great group of people. I’ve spent hours going through the script, developing character looks, and prepping for the challenge to come.

Anyone who has worked with me before knows I’ll be buying a palette of granola bars before heading to set. Other than that purchase I think I’m ready.

I can’t wait.

what's in a name?

The Naked Makeup Artist.

No, I’m not actually naked. I decided on that name for my blog because I personally don’t wear much makeup on a daily basis. I usually just go for a little eyeliner and mascara, throw in a pinch of blush and I’m good. It feels a little odd considering how much I love makeup and what a big part of my life it is. I’m not sure if this goes along with the painter whose own walls remain neglected or the doctor who doesn’t take care of himself…oh well. Maybe wearing more makeup should be my resolution for 2010?
