Day page. You may have noticed a great new artistic feeling to our site;
she has brought that to us along with wonderful ideas and a super attitude.
Brenda is our customer service specialist. If you have any questions,
problems, or want us to help you find something she is the one to
talk to. She will make your experience with Make Up Mania a pleasant
one because she is sooo nice.
The newest lines on board
Make Up Mania are Kama Sutra and Burt's Bees. Both lines are beautiful
in their purity, sweet and natural qualities. Check them out.
VIEWS
With the Oscars coming upon us I put my vote in for Elizabeth. Make
Up Nomination for Jenny Schircore. The simple understated transformation
from the young innocent princess to the Virgin Queen is superb. The
hair, was intricate yet simply beautiful. The costumes the cinematography!
It is pieces like this that makes the movie going experience a magical
one.
Other films up for the Academy's
nod of approval: Saving Private Ryan, (Dan Striepeke, Lois Burwell and
Conor O'Sullivan.) I think Dan Striepeke and Lois Burwell are amazing
human beings and Make Up Artists and their work is always worth paying
attention to.
Shakespeare In Love features
the work of Tina Earnshaw (of Titanic fame and of course the new Max
Factor Celebrity) teamed up with Lisa Westcott and Veronica Brebner.
Another beautiful period piece.
Star Trek: Insurrection -
the infamous work of Michael Westmore along with Scott Wheeler and Yolanda
Toussiang. Sometimes the material in Star Trek is not taken serious
by the academy so they skip the nod to the artists as well. But this
is nice work, lots of prosthetics, Ian liked some of it I thought
it was a little strange but it a lot of talent on that set.
Beloved (Carl Fullerton,
Neal Martz and Alan Anger) had lots of character work and there were
a tremendous amount of wigs, not to mention pregnancy scene, nude, that
was pulled off.
The Mask of Zorro (Ken Diaz,
Chris Beverage and Paul DeBlanc (hair)). I didn't see this movie, so
I don't know how the make up looked on the big screen. It apparently
had some flawless hair work and a variety of make-ups.
Get your issue of Make Up
Artist Magazine this month with lots more scoops on the Oscars Make
Up Category. The Oscars are March 21, 1999. And Make Up Artists Look

Well Everyone in conclusion
I would like to ask the indulgence and forgiveness if I have not returned
e-mails, phone calls or been available to you lately. This month I lost
my mother in her battle with cancer it has been a long hard few months
and all the wonderful people here at Make Up Mania and many of our customers
have made it a blessed experience in it's own way. Remember to say you
love some one.
Show love to the ones who watched you grow,
show love to those you do not know
show love to the sweet and blessed souls,
show love to yourself so you can love some more.
God Bless -
Eva Marie
