I finally feel close enough to one of my dreams to share it, (……drumroll).  For over a year and a half I have been working on a make-up artistry book, Rouge Opera.  Rouge Opera is a book that highlights make-up art as a museum style artform.  The book will take you through a tour of a Make-up Museum, Rouge Opera.  You will find models framed and used as a canvas for make-up art.  You will also find tips and tricks in a Beauty Archives section.  Rouge Opera will also focus on  the art of storytelling, and how it is the key ingredient in all make-up applications.  Rouge Opera could not be possible without the Principal Photographer of Inije Photography & Films, Charlton Inije.  This photgrapher played a huge role in this project because you will tour Rouge Opera through, his eyes, his lens.  Rouge Opera will display the marriage of two major arts, Make-up & Photography Art.

The goal of Rouge Opera is simple…just to inspire!  Inspire the hidden artist in all of us…and hopefully unlock the part of you where all your creative thoughts, dreams and aspirations are stored.  I am still dreaming……..Rouge Opera will be launched in FALL 2013!

The Pantone 2013 color of the year is…(drumroll) …EMERALD!

“Green is the most abundant hue in nature – the human eye sees more green than any other color in the spectrum,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “As it has throughout history, multifaceted Emerald continues to sparkle and fascinate. Symbolically, Emerald brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation, which is so important in today’s complex world”.- from the Pantone Website
