I don’t know if I’ve blogged this yet, as I’m sure I may have; considering the amount of youtube posts I’ve done this past year, but I’m in love with this girl’s handiwork. Her name is Lauren aka Panacea81, she’s from the UK and she’s one of the most loveable, adorable, and talented makeup artists I’ve ever seen on youtube. I was linked to one of her videos by a good friend of mine, and since then I’ve been hooked to her videos. She is AMAZING! Mind you, with practically no formal training in cosmetology, she’s a master at creating the most dynamic and beautiful eye art that can rival the best in the industry.

As we all know, for the past few weeks I’ve been slightly obsessed with Fafinettes, and for Halloween I chose to dress up as one. Well, I decided that my “costume”, pictured to the left, would be a mixture of some of my favorite Fafinettes, but I don’t have any full pictures of my outfit. If you’re wondering what I’m wearing:tank top (2) old school running shorts, leggings, leg warmers and pumps. Also  I wanted to give props to the other chicas who donned their Fafinette alter egos for Halloween, and even those who rock their inner Fafinette, no special occassion needed. So here’s to all of the Fafinettes Worldwide!!

Time for a second helping of “Tiffy’s favs” ! Aren’t you excited!?!? Well, last week I introduced everybody to some of my most favorite artists in terms of music. Today I’d like to share with you all some of my favorite artists, as in art-art. If that makes any sense. LOL. You know, art is such a broad term because it can include dance, music, and theater as well as other things; but you get what I’m saying. Or at least I hope you do. Whateves. My little list of artists I admire won’t have your standard Michaelangelos or Botticellis because while I do love what they have done, I also like “unknown” and lesser known artists who stray away from the more classical mediums and subjects. Ya dig? And so, here’s a few of my favorite artists in no particular order. =)

Who says good makeup has to cost an arm and a leg?! As a self-proclaimed lip gloss addict, I can tell you that makeup in general is one of my favorite things about being a girl. However, I don’t like having to put a tube of lip gloss or an eyeshadow on layaway. That’s why I love NYX Cosmetics. It’s like getting MAC quality make-up for a fraction of the price plus I don’t have to put up with the too-busy-doing-my-own-makeup-to-help-you makeup artists/sales people and those hot ass vanity lights.

A few years ago, I came across one of the most talented makeup artists/photographers I’ve ever seen. I was browsing myspace–playing 6 degrees and totally bored out of my mind when I happened upon the profile of Melanie Buslon. I instantly fell in love. She had some of the most amazing photograhs I’d ever seen. Vivid and creative, totally spellbinding.

What I think I liked most about her work, was her use of color in the makeup looks. Bold and peircing was her style, and I was feeling it 100%. It was also raw. Like you could tell she wasn’t coloring-by-numbers so to speak, but that she was producing this art through her soul. I tell you, I.was.in.love.
