Win NARS Cosmetics!

Thu, 01 Feb 2007 20:42:50 GMT

Here is the info for the February contest at AMA!

First and formost we would like to thank our February Sponsor!

An iconoclastic philosophy, Nars believes there are no rules when it comes to beauty; whatever makes you look and feel good is right. We could not agree more!

The theme for February is Best Black & White Photography Makeup. Think Hurrell glamour shots, raw character photos, or artsy dramatic, just be creative! Submit your skills and original ideas in either a nice tight headshot or shoulders and head. Remember no nudity please. Be sure to read the rules for the dimension guidelines. As always this theme is yours to run with, interpret it how you want. Most importantly, have fun!

READ THE RULES AND TIPS FOR WINNING BEFORE ENTERING THE CONTEST!

New stuff on AMA!

Fri, 19 Jan 2007 01:43:45 GMT

I made a bunch of changes to AllMakeupArtists.com today & am really excited about it.

There is now a gallery so you can upload photos of your work & receive comments about it. I also added a BabbleFish translator so you can read the site in whatever language you wish! The layout is a bit different & hopefully easier to navigate. There are also a bunch of small changes that you will have to check out for yourself on the site!

Go get some beauty talk!
