Temptu teams with Carbonfund.org

(CSRwire) NEW YORK, NY - March 19, 2008 – Temptu announced today that it is offsetting its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, one of the country’s leading carbon offset organizations. Temptu has committed to zero-out its carbon footprint through the donation of a portion of sales from all Temptu airbrush kits to support carbon offsetting through renewable energy, energy efficiency, andreforestation projects. This commitment establishes Temptu as an environmental leader in the makeup community, reflects Temptu’s sensitivity to its customers’ concern for the environment, and demonstrates the steps Temptu is taking in the fight against global climate change.

Plant a tree with Temptu

Whenever Temptu puts an airbrush to work, energy is used and CO2 is emitted. In order to offset these carbon emissions, Temptu donates a portion of proceeds from the sale of every compressor and airbrush kit towards planting trees through Carbonfund.org’s 3rd-party certified reforestation projects. By supporting carbon offset projects, Temptu gives back to our environment on behalf of the company and its customers. ”At Temptu, we are a progressive makeup company committed to sustainable solutions,” said Michael Benjamin, President and CEO of Temptu. “Through carbon offsetting and our partnership with Carbonfund.org, we are able to give back to the environment and support the fight against global warming.”"Eco-consciousness predominates in the consumer market these days because the production of consumer goods requires a considerable amount of energy and consumers understand the environmental costs associated with that,” said Eric Carlson, Executive Director of Carbonfund.org. “We applaud Temptu for taking proactive measures to make their product more sustainable and to provide consumers with a more carbon-conscious option.”

No need to Cry Baby.

Why you cryin’ Wade? Those tats were painless- they’re Temptu’s! Thats right; John Waters cult classic film “Cry Baby” is now getting a taste of the footlights on Broadway.

 Makeup artist Randy Mercer has been working day and night preparing for the Broadway run of Cry Baby. Randy has used Temptu before so when it came to finding the right tats to help create Wade “Cry Baby” Walkers look he knew where to come. For Mr. Mercer we designed some custom tattoos with our in-house illustrators then sent them to our printing space where we turned them into alcohol based ink transfers; we also supplied some of our pro tattoo transfers to add a little eye candy here and there.

The curtains rise April 24th, so be sure to reserve your tickets soon!

The Spring Look; with David Maderich

(article originally published here http://www.celebrityeverything.com/?page_id=42 by www.celebrityeverything.com)

 

Celebrity Makeup Artist David Maderich, aka Mister Makeup, tells you how to work it!

 

It’s a new hue this spring.

 

Yes, I’m talking color. From Paris, to Milan to New York, hot pink cheeks, purple shadowed eyes and tangy tangerine lips were all the rage.

 

Of course, the colors on the cheeks, lips and eyes were exaggerated for the catwalk, but anyone can wear a splash of color – and quite frankly, after several seasons of boring neutrals, a touch of the color is not only refreshing, but also very modern.

 

The secret to wearing bright color is to limit it to one feature – or at most two.

 

For example, if you’re playing up your cheeks with a shade of hot pink, keep the lips and eyes color free. Or if you’re painting up your eyes in a luscious shade of lilac, tone down the lips and cheeks.

 

If you keep these rules in mind, your color will always look classy - not sassy.

 

Take a gander at the pictures on this page – I worked my “Mister Makeup” magic on these models at a photo shoot with Roberto Ligresti www.robertoligresti.com. As on the runway, the color is exaggerated, but I hope my bold use of color will inspire you to toss out that brown eye shadow and beige lip gloss and take a look at the rainbow of colors offered at the cosmetic counters this season.

 

Still worried about color? Here are some easy tips:

 

For pale skin: Be careful with color – too much can overwhelm you. Try a rosy pink blush (Avon’s Jillian Dempsey’s For Avon Horizon Blush $10, http://shop.avon.com with a subtle touch of green shadow (Maybelline New York Dream Mousse Shadow in Mint Dream, $7.49) smudged next to your lashes and don’t forget a thick coat of mascared lashes – I love Kanebo International Mascara 38 C ($30) in black. Or try putting just a pinch of sparkling blue cream eye shadow (ELF Blueberry Duo Eye shadow Cream, $1) in the corners of your eyes. Pair those baby blue hued eyes with some hot pink lips – I’m in love with a pink NARS lipstick ($24) called Schiap – and your face will be couture ready!

 

For darker skins: Add more color. I adore dark purple lips (MAC Pro Paint Stick in Rich Purple, $16) paired with lavender shaded lids – try Avon’s Jillian Dempsey For Avon True Color eye shadow in Ombre ($4). Or add a touch of yellow or orange on the lids – L’Oreal HIP Bright Eye shadow Duos in Flashy and Flare ($12, www.drugstore.com) are perfect for this.

 

For high-drama evenings: Try a thick stroke of teal eyeliner on dark skins – try Color Truth Cream Liner in Teal ($12, www.drugstore.com) by L’Oreal HIP. Pair your lined eyes with a bright red lipstick – Kanebo’s ‘The Lipstick’ in New Ginza Red ($50, www.bergdorfgoodman.com). Add a touch of clear Hyper Shine gloss ($1) by ELF and you’re ready to hit the town. Another fun idea is to use colored mascara to add a touch of blue or violet to the eyes. I can’t live without the double wanded Vivid Impact Highlighting Mascara by Max Factor in Blushing Blue/Pink Highlighter ($10, www.drugstore.com) – I use it on all of my models.

 

Of course, you need a good foundation for all this color; and lately I’ve been obsessed with Maybelline New York Mineral Power Powder Foundation ($10.99) for a smooth natural finish. For concealer, S/B Concealer Wheel by Temptu ($19.50 at www.temptu.com) goes on like a dream and covers anything.

 

And don’t forget your nails! Of course, dark blue is all the rage with the fashionistas, but try yellow, pink or green by New York Color - and for $1 a bottle, how can you go wrong? For a subtler touch on nails, try Avon’s Nailware ($4.50) in Cantaloupe – a lovely pale shade of pink.

 

Rodan and Fields - one of my favorite skincare lines - is now available exclusively online. I love the Reverse and Anti-Age kits as well as the Essentials moisturizer. Check out special deals at www.rodanandfields.com/davidmaderich.

 

Now go discover your hue you! 

jared gold. czarina.

 Jared Gold is known for his wild fashion shows where the ordinary gets a chance to become extraordinary; like madagascar hissing cockroaches covered in Swarovski diamonds or runway stars like Traci Lords and Jennifer Carpenter, or the fact that Gold decided to stage his show in LA’s historic Union Station instead of showing at the Smashbox Studio tents…  Saying that Jared Gold knows how to throw a fashion show would be an understatement, Gold is an artist pushing the boundaries of fashion- and when it came to his latest project Temptu got a phone call… 

Temptu was the official makeup sponsor for the 2008 Jared Gold fashion show. Every artist needs their tools to help them create their vision; for CZARINA the look was a neo-victorian fairy tale application that complemented Golds collection perfectly (at least we think so!)

You can find the products at www.temptu.com

Vanity Fair: Girls Behaving Badly

The Vanity Fair: Girls Behaving Badly video is finally up on YouTube! Check out Temptu’s cameo…  

Vanity Fair, Queens of Ink.

The Queens of comedy strut their stuff in the latest edition of Vanity Fair. Famed photographer Annie Leibovitz shot the girls in a series of elaborate photos- each comedian depicting another celebrity. With all the recent Amy Winehouse hype it was only appropriate that she be a character portrayed- and who better to play Winehouse than Sarah Silverman? Now the first step to getting Amy’s look down is obviously getting some sick tats! For the “Funny Girls” shoot Temptu supplied our new Pro Transfer Tattoos - recognize the one on Sarah’s arm? Its available on our website www.temptu.com

There is also a behind-the-scenes video of the shoot here!

SB MAKEUP IN ACTION:: Sports Illustrated

Temptu was the airbrush makeup of choice for Sports Illustrated’s “Their Better Halves” layout in its

2008 Swimsuit Edition. Makeup artist Patrycja applied Temptu’s SB makeup on the face and the body to give

the gorgeous wives of star athletes the flawless coverage, healthy glow, and sexy highlights they desired.

Patrycja applied SB Foundations and Highlighters to highlight body parts like the cheeks, jawline, décolleté,

shoulders, and all-important abs of the beauties who grace the arms of NASCAR Champion Jeff Gordon, Yankees Star Outfielder Johnny Damon, Denver Nuggets Forward Carmelo Anthony and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
