I placed an order for Crimson lipmix (with Fuchsia, Blue and Burgundy lipmixes) on August 7th and it's still backordered! Is it usual for MAC to be backordered on an item this long? The longest In my previous MAC experience has been only 2 weeks. Has anybody ever dealt with this before? I'm...

I really want to try Beta, but I'm afraid it might look weird with my hair. Everybody I've mentioned wanting to try Beta to says something about me having red hair and how it might not look "right". I love Anime and Harlot (two of the brightest OCC colors, in my opinion) and wear them often. I...

I did a search but didn't have much luck finding some ideas for bold/dramatic looks to pair with So Chaud. I usually do the neutral eye and warm blush/bronzer to go with So Chaud but I'm looking for something more dramatic! Any help would be so very appreciated!

I love Lady Danger. The end. <3 (It looks like I over-traced my lip line in the second picture, I didn't, it's just the light didn't reflect on the gloss as much in the picture. It didn't look like that in real life. lol) Products: Make Up For Ever Aqua Lips...

going on a "kind of" date tonight. wearing a slightly metallic red lip, need eye/cheek recs! I'm going to be wearing MUFE Rouge Artist Intense #21 (it's such a pretty metallic red, I love it!) It reminds me of M.A.C Port Red from Naughty Nauticals. Anyway, I'm a bit stumped about what to wear...

I'm a part of an amazing organization called The Beauty Movement and it's a great cause. The Beauty Movement was founded by Cortney Staples when she was teaching a makeup course and the participants were instructed to bring their makeup to the course and she would show each of them how to get...

I was going to do the LP cover of David Bowie's "Aladdin Sane" for Halloween, but I wanted to glam it up a bit and make it a bit more feminine. Any suggestions for lips/cheeks? Thanks in advance!

I did a search for this and all I came up with was Kitten e/s and black winged liner. That's my typical eye makeup look, so I wanted something a little bit different with NARS Schiap on the lips for my 21st birthday party. I considered the blue eyeliner look that Rihanna sported awhile back, but...

Okay, so this started back in my sophomore year of high school. I used to talk to lots of the guys, never sleep with them or anything, but eventually they all started to fall for me and then when we were about to become official, I decided that I really didn't want to be in a relationship. Then...

I'm starting to build my portfolio and one of my models has a great face. She also has a platinum blonde mohawk, so for one shot, I was going to do something a bit more high fashion/editorial but I was also going to try a clean looking androgynous look and probably mess her hair up with texture...

I have (and LOVE) Lady Danger and I've been looking at So Chaud as well. How similar are they? One person I know who works at M.A.C in Macy's said that they're practically the same color and it's not worth it to have both. But another Macy's M.A.C employee said that both colors are different...

1.) What is the ideal number of photos in a professional portfolio for somebody starting out as a freelance makeup artist? 2.) How many models should I have for my portfolio? 3.) What types of looks should be featured in a professional portfolio (bridal, high fashion, etc)? 4.) Is a plain...
