The master face painter, beater, artist whatever you want call him, Sam Fine, has an oh so fine blog!! I'm so excited about updates! He updates monthly about most of his highlight projects that he's done during the month. His latest update recaps his master classes at MAC in Chicago and Harlem(Check out Scandalous Beauty's interview with him when she attended the Harlem class!), kudos from his celeb clients, star clients that he worked on and much more! My favorite parts: contouring with Mo'Nique and makeup for a bride that he did!!!!! Since MAC's shape and sculpt collection, there has been a craze over the masses about the art of contouring. He helps our eye for contouring by showing us how he countoured Mo'Nique's face. Keep in mind that he mentions that Mo'Nique is contoured for the stage, so that people in the nose bleed section will be able to see gorgeous makeup. The lucky bride to have her makeup done by Sam Fine is gorgeous! Sam does his signature brows on her (I can tell them anywhere!), contours her up a bit, subtly and overall does what he does best: makes a woman of color exude beauty and elegance.
Here are some makeup do's that I'm glad to see on Sam's blog!
-MAC's full coverage foundation/cream foundation then bronzer. (I've heard many people talk about how this is their fav foundation by MAC for photoshoots. I think a lot of time for women of color, if a loose/setting powder, etc. seems to chalky/not the right color, a matte bronzer should work.)
-Black Opal foundation (I did a photoshoot without knowing the model's skintone or even much about foundation. I used Black Opal by chance and it worked like a charm! I do not recommend for daily/frequent use.)
-Why isn't Iman Cosmetics looking for artists in Washington, DC?? I would so be there!
Check out his blog!
