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 skincare products?

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!

Best Earth tone lip kit

Wearing an earth tone can be a threatening task for some lipstick wearers. The journey into warm browns can be daunting and some of the deeper tones won't work for everyone. Any easy way to wear an earth tone and not feel like you're wearing a straight up brown is to add a little rose to taupe to the equation. Check out ADVEKET cosmetics latest Gender Fluid Lipstick release AMBITION. A medium chestnut with a semi matte finish. This color works on every skin tone and depth.
