Looking for a New Career?

The Future of Makeup and Makeup CareersWith layoffs continuing at a record pace, many people find themselves out of work in their chosen profession and accepting work in any field just to earn an income. Others take their layoff as an opportunity to pursue a different avenue in life by returning to school to master a new profession. With a downturn in advertising, graphic design artists are especially hard hit along with writers and photographers. Manufacturing job losses are the ones that make the headlines, just as many jobs that require an artistic ability are being lost to this recession. When a manufacturing job, the employee is sent for retraining, with the retraining usually being in another aspect of manufacturing, the same for a service industry job. For those that use their artistic acumen to maintain their income, retraining is not as easy. The source of their abilities comes from an innate perception that leads to their creative talents, it is not an abilities that can be retrained, but it can be redirected in particular instances.

As this recession winds its way back up to a normal economy, jobs will be created by new demands. Even if the Advertising Industry will never again have the same demand for artistic talent, other industries will. Because of exciting changes in the world of makeup, a demand for a new bred of creative talent is being created. High Definition video has created a demand for a new makeup and makeup application, Lux Airbrush Makeup fills the need created for a superior airbrush makeup, the need for the creative makeup artists will be filled by the ranks of the artistically inclined. The release of James Cameron's Avatar is a pivotal event in the world of Film Makeup. The 3-Dimension presentation of Avatar will become the first of many such film presentations which will create a need for more talented artistic makeup artists. The Airbrush Makeup Artist is destined to be an essential Artist on the film sets of the very near future. As video presentation continues to evolve, so too will the demand for the talents of Makeup Artists in many specialties.

The Face Painting Makeup Artists, Body Painting Makeup Artists, Airbrush Makeup Artists, Fashion Makeup Artists, and Special Effects Makeup Artists are all specialties that will be in demand as the technology of performance continues to advance. The Makeup Artists of the future will not only have to understand color balance and detail, they will also l have to posses a natural artistic vision for creating living art on the face and body of the performers and models on whom they work.

Mehron, Leaders in Theatrical Makeup since 1927, has seen the future of the creative demands of Makeup. In 2009, Mehron began introducing the Makeup of the Future with the release of LUX Airbrush Makeup along with many new introductions in the world of Fashion Makeup. Mehron continues to prepare for the future with research that will continue to produce the Makeup that the future demands, just as they have since 1927. Mehron Makeup will continue to produce the Makeup of the Future in the USA from selected ingredients and free from animal testing. The Performance Industry will create the demand for the Makeup Artist specialist, Mehron will create the superior Makeup needed to complete the task. The question now is will there be enough artistic talent ready to meet the demand.

The college football players know that national television audiences in the millions will be watching them, including scouts from the NFL.

Then there are the fans, cheering, decked in school regalia and even painted in school colors.

All She Wants for Christmas is Her Makeup

Makeup on the Christmas Wish List
First published in 1948, the Childhood Christmas Song "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" written by a Smithtown New York Music Teacher, Donald Yetter Gardner was recorded throughout the years by various musical artists. The Andrews Sisters in their best childlike voices turned the song into a plea with their inflections. From the prescriptive of a six to eight year old little girl missing her two front teeth can be the ultimate cosmetic affront to her childhood beauty. "These two teeth are gone as you can see I don't know just who to blame for this catastrophe!"Mr. Gardner hit the proverbial nail on the head, an affront to beauty is a catastrophe. Time doesn't change this concept much, as children turned into teenagers, new sets of cosmetic concerns take center stage. In the teenage years young girls become familiar with the beauty enhancing abilities of cosmetics to hide acne, blemishes and skin discoloration which they find offensive and convince themselves that the whole world will stare at their zit if not properly hidden with the magic of makeup.

Every Year as Christmas passes the catastrophe of missing two front teeth at Christmas time fades further into the memory as concentration is on the present state of appearances. Each age group has a different concern as each succeeding Christmas passes. Throughout the years each new fashion fad can be found beneath the Christmas Tree on Christmas Morning. The Flapper Dress, Bobbi Socks, Poodle Skirts, Mini-skirts, Midi-skirts, Bell Bottoms, Leggings, are all fashion fads that were found by in gift boxes underneath the Christmas Tree in one decade or another. Sometimes these fashions are faded out in a manner of months and the December Christmas Gift makes its way to the bottom of the closet by February.

If you found a Fashion Gift for Christmas that has been under the Christmas Tree since 1927 and is always in style, and it is what she wants for Christmas, that would be the Christmas Gift to buy her. The Christmas Gift that will not go out of fashion in two months, a gift that will delight, excite and win you praise is Mehron Makeup. With roots in Performing Arts Makeup including Special Effects Makeup, Mehron could even help with the two front teeth thing. However, what she really wants for Christmas is the new Fashion Makeup that Mehron has been premiering on the Runways of Fashion Shows in 2009.

Start with an elegant bottle of Velvet Finish Primer, the powerful antioxidant serum that helps increase production of collagen and decreases the look of fine lines and pigmentation that are the result of aging. Velvet Finish Primer, helps to create a perfectly smooth makeup canvas, decreasing lines and combating wrinkles, making skin tight and supple at the same time. Velvet Finish Primer even comes in a black velveteen pouch which adds to the appearance of a high priced spa treatment. Velvet Finish Primer is just like a high priced skin firming treatment at a spa, it just doesn't have a high price.

Along with Velvet Finish Primer you can gift wrap a bottle of Aura Bronzing Gel, the look of a tan in a bottle that is nowhere near the price of a tanning session. Aura Bronzing Gel is not a dye, it is a "super-hydrating/skin-smoothing" extract blend of Lemongrass, Ginseng, Chamomile, Comfrey, Cucumber , Aloe Vera gel, and Japanese Green Tea, plus a generous helping of golden-bronze shimmer. Unwrapping a bottle of Aura Bronzing Gel is like unwrapping a day on the beach, she will be able to add the look of a day in the sun at will and use it over her Velvet Finish Primer, and under or blended with the Mehron top of the line foundation Makeup that you will get her to go along with her priming serum, and shimmering gel.

Everyone knows that the foundation is only the beginning, don't miss the opportunity to make your Christmas Present even more thoughtful with a palette of E.Y.E Powder 8-color Palette,
E.Y.E Powder , E.Y.E. Lashes, CHEEK Powder 8 Color Palette, CHEEK Cream, and L.I.P. Color Cream. Introduce her to the First Name in Fashion Makeup, Mehron, with a reputation that spans almost a century of Makeup Production in the United States free from animal testing and formulated from high quality,m selected ingredients with a pigmentation that has met the standards of Broadway and Hollywood for over eighty years.

After the new car, the diamond ring, the Caribbean Cruise, the Aspen Ski Jaunt, the trip to Paris, London and Rome, all she really, really wants for Christmas is Her Makeup, and if she knows what is best, Her Mehron Makeup to be precise. You can't turn back the clock and grant her wish for two front teeth, but you can stop the clock and get her a gift off of her Christmas list today. Mehron Makeup is available throughout the world at a Mehron Authorized Retailer.
