Nicole

Something I wanted to do with Make-Up Your Mind TV in 2019 is feature some of my favorite artists, find out what inspires them and what "Must Haves" are in their kit!! I chose my good friend Nicole Wittman for this interview! I first met Nicole over a decade ago when we were both hustling make-up at Bloomingdales Soho, NYC. She was managing Dior and I was freelancing for Nars. You lose track of people in New York so easily, but eventually (about 6 years ago) we reconnected while freelancing for Nars out in Los Angeles! Nicole is quite talented and one of the funniest people you'd ever work with on set. Read in interview below!

Thank you for talking to me!! Introduce yourself and explain your job title and how you got started! My name is Nicole Wittman, I am a make-up artist. I got into make-up artistry when I was 19, after being fired from being a hostess at Postrio in Las Vegas. I was looking for a job for a while after finishing my Criminal Justice degree at UNLV.

What inspires you most in your art?
I get inspired by the world around me. I like the textures and colors that happen in nature, graffiti or wall murals and textiles.
Do you have an area of expertise?
Advertising! But really, if it's make-up I just want to be part of it.
If you could do one gig for the rest of your life, what would it be?
I'd be Meryl Streep's make-up artist. Since that may not happen.. I'm not sure I could do just one gig for forever. Maybe I just haven't come across it yet.
Where do you see yourself in the future?
That's a hard question for me. I set goals for myself and when I achieve them, I set more. It makes me feel like the future is forever evolving.
How has social media affected the industry?
It has created an industry within an industry. "The influencer". I don't compete with them though. My focus isn't solely to influence others to purchase make-up products. I influence without intending too.
Where do you see the industry going in to future?
It will outlive many other careers. Robots can't put on make-up and I don't see that ever being a thing. As long as there is Hollywood, there should be a need for make-up artists.
How has it affected you?
It's helped me be able to contact people who I may never bump into in person. I can reach out to them via social media or I can keep up with their progression and they can keep up with mine. I used to hate it, but now see it can be a powerful tool.

The Best Charcoal Mask

The Best Charcoal Mask.
When I decided to take ADVEKET into skincare by launching Beyond Binary Skincare, I wanted to make sure that the products were on par with what was currently available in the market. Having worked for luxury skincare and make-up lines for over a decade, I knew this was not going to be the easiest task! After years of searching out labs and formulas I decided on one that I felt would not only  suit most all skin types, but would perhaps encourage the user to explore other avenues of self love and me time. I landed on what is now the activated charcoal Glow Mask. This mask uses Sodium Bicarbonate and activated white charcoal powder to deep cleanse pore and exfoliate dead skin. This mask is my favorite new pre shave treatment to use on myself as well as mens grooming clients. It's also a preventative treatment for acne and help to spot treat break outs!

What It Is

This deep-cleansing mask helps restore radiance by eliminating toxins and impurities and energizing the complexion to reveal a healthy, youthful glow. The thermal, charcoal formula activates with water, creating a warming sensation, while helping to melt away debris.

Gluten Free. 

What's Inside

Binchotan White Charcoal Powder draws out dirt and other pore-clogging debris.
Sodium Bicarbonate helps prevent problem-causing bacteria, absorb excess oil and decongests pores.
Glycerin provides intense hydration, enhances moisture retention and softens skin.

How To Use: CLICK HERE TO VIEW MY YOUTUBE VIDEO

Apply a generous amount to a dry face, being careful to avoid the immediate eye area. Leave for 5 minutes, then wet hands and massage into skin to activate. Remove with moistened cotton pads and rinse well with warm water. Follow with moisturizer or night crème.

Using this mask twice a week will help to keep skin looking smooth, taught and fresh. Your pores will appear smaller and the skin will have an over all glow. I have stopped using all other exfoliants since creating this mask. As a sensitive, dry skin I have always had trouble with exfoliants. Scrubs are too aggressive and acidic exfoliants have always irritated my skin. Once water touches this mask it evolves into a very slight grit. I would compare to a sloughing of dead skin and debris, not a scrub by any means. In my opinion this truly is the best charcoal mask EVER!

Interview with make-up artist Danielle Katherine

Something I wanted to do with Make-Up Your Mind TV in 2019 is feature some of my favorite artists, find out what inspires them and what "Must Haves" are in their kit!! I chose my long time friend make-up artist Danielle Katherine as my first interview because as far as make-up experience goes-I've known her longer than anyone! I first met Danielle while we were working at the now defunct Hechts (which because Macys) in Montgomery Mall She was working for Lancome and I was managing the long gone Tony & Tina. We became instant friends and have crossed paths many times over our career span in various cities. We both now happily live a few miles away from each other in Los Angeles! Read in interview below!

Thank you for talking to me!! Introduce yourself and explain your job title!
My name is Danielle Katherine, I am a beauty & editorial make-up artist.
How & when did you get into make-up?
I can't really answer when I got into make-up because I have always been interested in it since I was a toddler. My mother and grand-mother would push me around to all of the beauty counter in Bloomingdales 59th st. They'd give me lipsticks and Barbie coloring books, I'd only fill in the make-up!
What inspires you most in your art?
What inspires me most in my art would be the face. I know it sounds cliche for a make-up artist to say that, but I really love working on various face complexions, ages , etc. I would say the eye lids inspire me the most.
Do you have an area of expertise?
I'm not sure if I have an area of expertise, but from what I have been told I can make a dramatic eye look and feel quite natural. Heavy handed make-up has never really been my thing. I always try to use minimal products unless requested.
If you could do one gig for the rest of your life, what would it be?
It would probably be beauty make-up; house calls, events, photo shoots. I have thought about this question a lot myself recently. I love house calls because I can hang out and spend time with my clients. It's usually our one-on-one glam time, it's like playing dress up! Often I get to choose wardrobe, which is fun because it's another art form to play in. Beauty shoots are my other passion. The make-up is applied to a beautiful model, there are always lovely photos and the experience of being on set is something I love. I love photography so much, ever since I was a young girl I've loved stare at a photograph with great make-up time and time again. It's an amazing feeling when it's your own make-up that you're staring at.
Where do you see yourself in the future?
In the future I see myself still doing make-up and maybe dabbling in another art form. I've always loved painting and I'm crafty.
How has social media affected the industry?
Social media has affected the industry in every way imaginable and a lot of it can be positive for make-up artists. People are now searching hashtags for all sorts of things; hair, make-up, restaurants and beyond. Instagram especially is a great and easy way to showcase your work in an informational and more relaxed way that your website. A little more of our personality is shown and sometimes a client will connect with you on that level. I can make the difference I being hired for a job. On the other hand if you're up for a gig against someone with more followers it can turn into a popularity contest...which to me is weird, but I guess everything is about marketing now.
How has it affected you?
It has definitely helped me by way of getting jobs and income. It's more exposure. I don't have a a huge following, which is fine. I'm sure I've lost jobs to artists with more followers, but if that's the case then the job wasn't for me anyway.
What're your top 3 favorite PERSONAL make-up products?
Chantecaille: Future Skin Foundation 
Amazing Cosmetics: Amazing Concealer 
Jergen's: Face Glow Self Tanner
What're your top 3 favorite PERSONAL skincare products?
Chantecaille: Bio Lift Cream "It's the most perfect AM/PM cream that actually does everything and works!"
Amore Pacific: Foaming Cleanser
Goldfadden MD Crystal Scrub
What're your top 3 favorite ON SET make-up products?
Laura Mercier Translucent Powder
ADVEKET: "Exceptional" Gender fluid lipgloss
Amazing Cosmetics: Amazing Concealer
What're your top 3 favorite ON SET skincare products?
Urban Decay: All Nighter setting spray
Revive: Volumizing Eye Serum
Waleda "Skin Food" face cream
What would your advice for new and inspiring artists be?
Leave your ego at the door! The learning never ever stops and don't ever assume you now everything. Never give up, always keep a positive attitude at work and about yourself. Everyone's career path is different!

Best Brown lipstick for the fall

 Many lipstick wearers like to follow the fall lipstick trend and wear a "brown-ish" shade during the autumn, but choosing an earth toned shade can prove to be a bit tricky. One of the Best Brown lipsticks for the fall is also one of my favorite shades in the new ADVEKET collection "Ambition". This shade a warm medium toned chestnut with a soft cushiony semi-matte finish. It is a richly pigmented shade with extremely long wearing capabilities. The inspiration for the shade name Ambition comes from the strides made by women in entertainment over the last few years. Whether it be the brave humans of the Me Too Movement and the Time's Up Or the recent accomplishments of in bring the iconic DC Comics Wonderwoman in the fantastic Wonderwoman Film by Patty Jenkins starring Gal Gadot and all the strides made by the African American entertainment community at the Golden Globes Oscars and with Marvel Comic's Black Panther
My favorite way to use this color is to first like the lips with ADVEKETs Gender Fluid Lip Liner Advocate, then apply the "Ambition" Gender Fluid Lipstick with a brush or directly from the tube. Finish off with the Exceptional Gender Fluid Lipgloss. I love using this gloss because it's a neutral pink. It works to slightly soften any shade it is placed over.
ADVEKET was created to help support the work of equality nonprofit I Wore Lipstick by donating $1 from the sale of each lip product to the charity. You can find  ADVEKET online or in Los Angeles at The Hello Darling Salon at Century City Mall and in New Orleans at Preaux Face

The History of Rosebud Perfume Co.

His Early Years and Family - Dr. Smith was born near Woodsboro, Maryland, on March 25, 1865. He was the son of Solomon and Adeline Locke Smith and the grandson of John and Susan Earnst Smith. He grew up on a farm near Woodsboro but soon realized his ambition went far beyond the plow. After receiving his preliminary education in Woodsboro, he attended and graduated from Shenandoah Normal College in Harrisonburg, Virginia. After receiving a teaching degree, Dr. Smith moved to Utica, Maryland, where he taught school and married local resident, Minnie F. Baer. He taught school in Frederick County, Maryland, for five years before realizing his desire to become a druggist. He entered the proprietary drug and medicine field and was registered by the Maryland Board of Pharmacy in 1902.

Dr. Smith and Minnie had eight children:Mamie Irene, Lillian Mae, Raymond Lee, Henry Ward, Allen Reno, Alta La Rue, Mabel Pauline, and Mildred Naomi. All of Dr. Smith's and Minnie's children are deceased, but their heirs live on to own and run the family business. Dr. Smith was president of the Commercial State Bank in Frederick, Maryland, from 1925 to 1930. From 1937 until his death in 1952, he held an office in the Woodsboro Savings Bank (now known as the Woodsboro Bank) in Woodsboro, Maryland. He served as the mayor of Woodsboro for 19 years. He was a life long lover of music, giving band concerts on the upstairs porch of the Rosebud Building. He loved to race bicycles and collect automobiles. During his life, he owned more than 80 cars. His favorite car was the Packard. Dr. Smith loved to attend the annual Miss America pageant in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and seldom missed a judging.

Today, the Rosebud Building is much the same as it was when Dr. Smith operated the business. Smith's old drugstore bottles and preparations are still housed in his pharmacy room. It is like a trip back in time to see the many items left from his multifaceted life. One can almost hear the chatter of the Heidelburg Workers, ladies affectionately so named who created hundreds of beautiful quilts in the building. The fragrances of the rose oils that have permeated the walls and halls for over a century are evident still. You can relive the drama of the Civil War where meetings were held on this same site to resolve the backing of Governor Hicks and to express the citizens' determination to remain in the Union. G. F. Smith was one of the first druggists to sell fountain Coca Cola and was even visited once by the originator of the beverage. Dr. Smith was an agent for Columbia Records and frequently gave musicals by playing old cylinder recordings on the Edison phonograph. The Business Years Dr. George F. Smith founded the Rosebud Perfume Company in 1895.

The business began in a small drugstore located across the street from what is now known as the Rosebud Building in Woodsboro, Maryland. Friends and customers suggested that he prepare for them a family salve that could be used for various minor skin irritations. With this as a challenge, Dr. Smith formulated a product known as Smith's "Balsam of Rosebuds" which was later renamed Smith's "Rosebud Salve." Realizing its local popularity, Dr. Smith decided to advertise his product in country tabloids, and within a few years he had organized one of the most unique mail order businesses in the United States. Several years later, Dr. Smith purchased the old Smith Hotel. He sold his drugstore and moved into the imposing brick building which has served as the home of Rosebud products for over 100 years.

The mail order business offered four major brands for agents to sell door to door. They sold Rosebud Salve, Tholene Mentholated Salve, Rosebud Perfume, and Vivian Perfume named for the founder's granddaughter and current president of Rosebud Perfume Company, Vivian Smith Pruitt Clipp. Later, two aftershaves for men were created: Poke of Limes and Tobacco Five Cologne, both of which were sold in specialty shops. Over 70,000 agents sold Rosebud products in hopes of getting a premium for their sales efforts.The Rosebud Perfume Company Building was filled with "premiums" or "rewards" for the young and old alike. Curtains, BB guns, silverware, phonographs, and old cylinder records were among the rewards one could aspire to receive as a result of outstanding sales. Mail order catalogs were sent all over the United States to advertise the premiums.

The effort and hard work of door to door sales insured the salesman a valued prize. Today G.F. Smith, the Rosebud Perfume Company, and the Rosebud Building have all stood the test of time. Fine Rosebud products are still being sold locally, nationally, and internationally. Rosebud Perfume Company's, Inc. success is due to selling quality products at reasonable prices for well over 100 years!

Why imbuing ADVEKET with the mission of I Wore Lipstick was important

When I founded in I Wore Lipstick in 2015, I had the mission to focus on the lipstick wearers as their own community. When you look at those who wear lipstick it is women and the LGBTQIA community. Every member of this group is often also marginalized by society in some way. Often times when the plight of one of these communities gain focus, another is left unattended. The purpose of I Wore Lipstick was to help keep this community entirely in the spot light and aide them in every way possible.

Soon realizing that founding a nonprofit and keeping it going would be a costly activity ( I was never the best at fundraising) I decided that getting the support of a cosmetics line would be an excellent way to go. Looking over many lines, finding out who they were owned by soon provided the knowledge that it would be some time (if ever) before I would be able to gain the support a newly formed nonprofit would need. Thus I decided to create one myself that would instill the values of I Wore Lipstick from day one.

ADVEKET is spelled phonetically when used as a noun to symbolize the wearer as their own advocate. Each lip product is part of the Gender Fluid series to represent the diverse community of lipstick wearers and every product is giving an uplifting name. When these names are combine you created your "lip mantra" for the day (example: Create Exceptional Love) to further inspire the wearer to live their best and most authentic life.

ADVEKET also pledges to donate $1 per item sold to the nonprofit to help fund it's work!

ADVEKET was created to be a source of good, to help inspire social change and advocate for self love. I cannot wait to see where the future takes us and what kind of change these two sibling entities can accomplish! Social Media @justintymeart @adveket @iworelipstick
