First time blogg-er, full time blogg-y. Welcome to the world of AC































Salutations!
This is the birth of my very first post. or first BLOG post might i be clear
I aim to to entertain..


My name is Anna Carina.
Makeup Artist ( i like to say "arTISTE," it sounds more sassy doesn't it? )
TORONTO Based. but world friendly
More about me later..
Lets get right to businesss---
Sunday i did the makeup for a line to launch its spring/summer in March '09.
"LE MALEK"
(Created by the Dynamic Duo Jennifer LE and Peghah MALEK)
Remember you read it here first...because this line will definantly create a buzz once its made public.

As you can see, Ive included some shots from the sneak peak look book..So enjoy and feel free to drop some feedback.
I was quite excited to do the makeup, they were inspired from a past Dior show..
A look consisting of Thick brows, Stained lips, and HUGE eyes...and lots of lashes.
My mouth waters at any oppurtunity to create something outside of the box, something people question.. Is it art or is it beauty? Because we all know ART can be taken so differently according to whos viewing it.
An abstract painting is no different than abstract Makeup.
Bottom line: SOME PEOPLE SEE THE BEAUTY IN IT, SOME PEOPLE DONT.
Some how, i get my fix from doing gigs such as these.
The hair and makeup was to be all very dark ..allowing the clothes to be showcased but also by usuing such dark tones all over the face to still highlight the same amount of drama there too.
The hair was samurai-esque and i left the shoot yearning for my very own 26 inch ponytail..
:)

and the clothes. Need not express the fabulosity...Just stay tuned for updated
I will keep the public updated for this line will definantly spread like wild fire...
