Can someone explain (in detail) what this is? I could be mistaken but I've heard that once a part of this elite circle you get the honor of working backstage at events and shows. How long do you have to work for MAC in order to be considered for an Impact Team interview, or what do...

Hey girls! There are some of us in this world with retardedly oily skin on our faces. Not just our t-zone, but all-freaking-over our faces. Usually we have problems with enlarged pores and acne too. I'm one of these women, and it's taken me years to find products that actually WORK. I'd...

I CHALLENGE you to make yourself UNDEAD!!! :D I know all of us are all very accomplished with beauty makeup, but we need to stretch ourselves a bit! In order to be calling ourselves "makeup artists" we ought to know how to do ALL kinds of makeup. Being versatile is important, and...

Halloween is just around the corner, and I've been asked a lot of questions about zombie makeup! Here's what I've learned from experience so far: (Before we begin with the makeup, a short note on zombie costumes: When choosing what type of zombie you are going to be, choose a themed...

There is this girl in one of my classes that has the most gorgeously clear, soft complexion. Totally even-toned, too! She barely ever wears makeup. I finally asked her what products she uses and she doesn't use anything fancy, but she DOES take a PILL!! She said she got it at some health...

I'm moving to San Francisco and I need to know of a good makeup school to go to. I don't want to do the 5-class thing and then get a little "You passed!" certificate, I want some kind of license. I want to go to a school like MUD, but they dont have a location in San Francisco. Any...

It's a beautiful counter, the girls are real cool, and I love the fact that we have a pretty free dress code. I start next week. The only thing is I'm not sure how to sell the "Fake-its" and "Fix-its" like I can sell Smashbox Photofinish and Brow Tech. Has anyone worked for Benefit before...

What do we think of them? I've been considering going for some Aveda when I run out of my current shampoo and conditioner. Has anyone had bad or good experiences with the products? I'm most interested in Color Conserve and Pure Abundance. I have a good haircut for volume, I just want more...
