CONTENTS LOS ANGELES FIRM INC MAGAZINE JULY / AUG 2015 MYKIE Artist : MYKIE Photographer: MYKIE LOS ANGELES FIRM INC MAGAZINE MAKEUP ARTIST OF THE YEAR 2015 A ll year long, we have definitely been watching who has been posting, many of which were unrelated things such as pictures of girls’ night out, every food they eat, and other personal feelings on politics and religion. I couldn’t tell if half of these makeup artists were serious and about the art or just plain misdirected hoping to fit in any way they can. You could be an extremely talented new brand yet the perception of what you present is of grave importance. Be mindful of what you post because the world is watching and you never know when you will get that big break. This artist truly needs no introduction. By far the most versatile of them all. Her works are not merely indications of the vision she sets forth, but of her imagination and insight to much more in every individual piece. There are many makeup artists talented and versatile in all facets of makeup art. However, you have to take into consideration three things: overall branding, quality of work and consistency. I literally watched this makeup artist brand herself like no other and go from just a makeup artist to the next big brand in makeup. I could tell you how brands like Dress Your Face, Bernice Mansfield Makeup, Lora Lynn, HEART Work or Miss Mascara also top these charts. An elite all-star team in makeup indeed. Yet, the overall picture of YouTube video, social media marketing, quality of art, consistency of originals within each scheme. None of this is based on ‘following’ in a day and age where ‘followers’ and ‘likes’ can be purchased. Some of the so-called best are far too overrated. Hand’s down our 2015 Makeup Artist of the year is Mykie of Glam & Gore. This is solely based on what I saw from Mykie and the vision place in my head with each completed masterpiece. I would hope our selection at least inspires all of us to become better artists. We are all winners at the end of the day, but there is only one crown. Congratulations Mykie of www.glamandgore.com continued success to you and your brand! 30 38 96 MAKEUP EXTRAVAGANZA PART THREE 52 68 ALTER EGO POET LAUREATE BE FIERCE THE MAGIC TOUCH LOS ANGELES FIRM INC MAGAZINE
