Brutal Hearts video premiere

Here is the video (actually, director Bruce McDonald made TWO versions) for Bedouin Soundclash feat. Coeur de Pirate's Brutal Hearts. You can read an article about the video here. Also, my previous post about the making of the video is here. May I suggest that you watch the videos on fullscreen as they are beautiful!



This is the second version of the video, which I LOVE... mostly because the skeleton dancers are featured and I loved them.



finally, here is a behind the scenes video:

Makeup inspired by Beyonce's "Countdown" video!

Halloween at MTV 2011

Toronto Fashion Week

I was very happy to be asked to do a day at fashion week this fall. It's been a while since I've done it (I used to do every season before I started doing TV full time) and it was great fun to see some old friends backstage, make some new ones, and of course see all of the spring fashion for 2012.

MTV Fora came backstage with me and shot me doing some makeup and eating a tuna salad. Because my life is just that glamorous.



my makeup is in this video which follows Steph backstage at Fashion Week... I did her makeup for the Cydelic show:

Artbound Party!

This year I did a few clients up in their music icon of choice for this year's Artbound party.

This one made it into Toronto's Grid Magazine... pictured is Craig Kielburger (founder of Free The Children) and a Gene Simmons makeup I did:



...and here is "Gene Simmons" and his lovely wife "Shania Twain" before they left their hotel room:
