Eye Candy: brighten up your Monday

Lets face it, Spring can be a hard season.  One day it’s sunny and beautiful out, the next day it’s cold, damp, and raining like crazy.  The warm weather and sunshine is so close we can almost taste it!  To bring a little color back into April we decided to look on the bright side of beauty, and showcase some amazing vivid and neon makeup.  Enjoy!

A few moments with MUA Jonah Levy Part 2

Yesterday you read Jonah’s impressions, experience, and favorite finds at the first ever IMATS New York.  To get to know Jonah a little deeper TEMPTU PRO asked him about his favorite projects, artistic inspirations, and upcoming work.

A few moments with MUA Jonah Levy Part 1

This past weekend the first ever IMATS New York was held at 82 Mercer in Soho.  The TEMPTU PRO team was there to experience this momentous occasion first hand.  We were happy to welcome the makeup and special effects expertise of Jonah Levy both at the TEMPTU PRO booth, and on the Open Forum Stage.  After his amazing Zombieland demo, we took a few moments to sit Jonah down and ask him a few questions about his inspirations, favorite projects, and what he thought about IMATS’s New York debut.

Eye Candy: bring on the romance

Eye Candy: out of this world

Who doesn’t love a bit of the dramatic?  Makeup is all about expressing yourself and experimentation.  Slightly inspired by Katy Perry’s “E.T” music video makeup we thought that today’s eye candy should be a little out of this world.  Enjoy!

TEMPTU on Scarlett Johansson for V Magazine

TEMPTU PRO in Matte Magazine

One of our most active tweeting and Facebook posting Makeup Artists, Griselle Rosario, shared this flawless editorial shoot she worked on for Matte Magazine.  To give model Karin Agstam her porcelain doll skin, Griselle airbrushed her skin with TEMPTU PRO’s S/B Foundations in 001 Porcelain and 002 Blush Ivory.  For Karin’s pinky flush and shadow, Griselle used a combination of S/B Highlighters in 050 Pink Pearl and 055 Champagne Shimmer, and S/B Blush in 045 Peony.  We just love this Berry Sweet spread.  It’s totally putting us in the mood for all things Spring!

Eye Candy: get dirty

As a culture we always strive for clean, clean hair, clean face, clean clothes etc.  We sometimes forget just how beautiful and sexy dirty can be, and not Christina Aguilera’s “dirty”.  We’re talking about dirt, mud, grease, grime, and just overall mess.  We’re not afraid to smear a little dirt over that flawless face for some added drama and texture.  So this Monday get a little dirty with us!

Eye Candy: Let’s Get Crazy

Let’s face it, when it comes to day-to-day makeup subtle and slightly understated is usually the way we go.  However, every once and a while everybody needs to get a little crazy with their makeup.  Maybe you want to channel your inner Gaga or Ke$ha the next time you go out, or maybe you just want to play around with new ideas at home.  Whatever the reason it’s always good to let loose a little and get inventive with your makeup.  Hope you enjoy this little walk on the wild side.

TEMPTU PRO on Willow Smith for Teen Vogue

Willow Smith’s wardrobe for her Teen Vogue shoot may have been inspired by her dad’s “fresh” past, but her makeup was all TEMPTU PRO.  Want to snag this hip-hop princess’ look?  Airbrush our S/B Blush in 045 Peony onto the apples of the cheeks, and then line the eyes with a combination of S/B Hi-Def in 026 Blue and our NEW S/B Multicolor in 072 Teal.
