I do too; anything that places an emphasis on Makeup tends to be pricey books rather than magazines. If anyone has any suggestions please share!

Recently I stumbled on The Powder Group's newest project On Makeup Magazine. The Powder Group is a diverse firm that offers everything from P/R for makeup artists to one on one consultations with consumers. TPG works closely with high profile names in the industry to hold education based seminars and puts together 2 major makeup conferences each year in Miami and NYC.

There is a great write up on the site that I share below about their new publication. What appeals to me personally is that it's described as Pro driven, consumer friendly which sounds like exactly what the people who visit Specktra and other makeup websites are looking for. There is a real void in magazines that are product and tool specific and what a great opportunity for editorials by working and respected makeup artists that we can digest and implement into our everyday lives, or use to grow our business.

On Makeup Magazine is the first-ever magazine dedicated to the craft of the professional makeup artist and based in the beauty capital of the world — New York City!

Published by makeup artist resource and event producers The Powder Group, and created by a team of industry experts led by The Powder Group Founder Michael DeVellis, this distinctive pro-driven, consumer-friendly industry publication will celebrate the art of makeup like no other has before it.

Available four times a year as Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall issues, On Makeup Magazine will focus on three things — makeup, makeup artists and makeup artistry — in all their forms. Every makeup artist, beauty industry professional, pro-aware product line, and makeup lover alike will find something for them in this editorially unique new quarterly. Source: On Makeup Magazine

The Powder Group is offering a special opportunity to receive the first issue of On Makeup Magazine for free by sending your name, mailing address, phone number and email address to the powder group.

Their subscription signup uses paypal so I went ahead and purchased a years subscription to the magazine for $18. Show your support by signing up for the free issue, or if you're already sold like I am, purchase a subscription. The first issue is expected to hit mailboxes in February '08.

If you have the opportunity, let them know Specktra sent you!

There is a great magazine called "Makeup Artist" Magazine which comes out bi-monthly. You can find it at most bookstores or you can order it online at amazon. It is a bit pricey but full of a lot of information if you are more towards the artistry part.

This is the BEST magazine I've ever read on makeup artistry... in fact, we don't have any other mag like this in France, and fortunately I can buy it on a professionnal makeup store in Paris where I find my mu supplies. I have to renew my subscription btw!

Here's a link to Makeup 411, a great website where you can find out about makeup on celebrities: Makeup411
You'll get all the details by clicking on the Beauty Breakdown section. Ex: if you want to know what kind of makeup Reese Witherspoon was wearing in "Walk the Line", you can do a search by name or by production.
This website is a Makeup Artist Magazine's annex and is a great help. You also have "New Products" and "Best of the Best" sections if you want to know which products are stapples and know about the lastest things on makeup.

I signed up for it in Feb. or March and I received my free issue yesterday!

Has anyone else received theirs?

I subscribed to Makeup Artist magazine for years. It's very heavy on SFX type makeup, but still really interesting to read. There are interviews on how people start out doing what they do, as well on tips on how to create scars, wounds etc. It's not at all useful for what I do with my own makeup in my daily life (LOL) but I do get something out of it. You get the occasional 411 stuff ie. Kate Winslet's beauty breakdown in Titanic, which is really worth it I think.

I've been getting On Make Up Magazine and it's AwEsomE. Good stories, inspiring pictures and lots of tips/advice. You can subscribe online search in google 'the powder group'. I also buy a Make Up Artist magazine. I'm in the UK so they rarely have a copy left by the time I get to borders for it. It's imported from america. But it's not as good as the on make up magazine. It's got mostly advertisments in it and rarely any advice I can apply to my own work. It's mostly for on screen stuff (like working with wax and doing more creative face work than counter cosmetics). I've heard PoP magazine is inspiring. There really aren't enough magazines on just make up are there? I see a gap in the market. I know loads of people that would buy a purely make up inspired magazine! xx
