Hi. I am Chris, creator of Makeup Gourmet.

My initial beauty makeup training was under the House of Chanel.

Chanel is a fashion house first.

All makeup decisions are based on model, wardrobe, accessories, time of year, time of day.

Designing new makeup looks is a formulation of these factors.

It is a process of boiling down the factors to a perfect reduction, maximizing result without excess.

 

Let me design a new makeup look for you.

 

Here are some quick ideas to add the season of spring to your makeup

 

The drama of spring awakening is at first subtle with tiny bursts of color here and there in wildflowers and bulbs emerging. This is one scenario that plays well with spring makeup. Slowly adding tiny bursts of color to your look.

Then, almost suddenly, the natural world around us erupts with grand passion sending plants and trees into an almost chaotic expression of color and new life. This scenario tells a different spring makeup story, one that is unabashedly alive with color.

 

Makeup Gourmet has translated these two scenarios into simple spring color updates:

Peek-a-Boo & Eruption.

Peek-a-Boo

Allow one new color to pop onto one or two following locations– Eyes • Lips • Cheeks.

 

Eruption

Allow one new color to pop onto two or three following locations– Eyes • Lips • Cheeks.

also

Contour cheeks with Powder Blush instead of a neutral cheek contour shade.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Color Updates

EYES

Select a new noticeable Eye Shadow color for the ball of the eye.

 

LIPS

Add a splash of a bright yet Sheer Gloss color over your daily lipstick in the center (pillow) of the lips.

 

CHEEKS

Either add more of your favorite blush or switch to a Cream Blush for a light reflecting cheek.

 

Here’s looking at you!

Warmly,
Chris Scott

“Beware the Ides of March”

                              “Beware the ides of March”                “Nothing is good or bad but thinking makes it so”
                            Shakespeare–Julius Caesar                                            Shakespeare–Hamlet

 

So what is the ‘Ides of March’ really and should we beware? And if so, how much?

The word “ides” comes from Latin for “in the middle of.” So the ides was the exact middle day of each month.

March was the first month of the year in the Roman calendar and as it took our satellite’s phases into account, the ides always fell on a full moon, which gave it even more supernatural clout.

Unsurprisingly, this was the deadline in the Roman age for paying off one’s debts and settling affairs.

As March Mascara Madness continues at Makeup Gourmet, we pay tribute to this literary reference to an historic Roman superstition on this, the Ides of March.

 

Behold the Ides of March!

 

What Makeup Gourmet Mascara Owners Have To Say

Mascarally Speaking

“Really makes my eyes pop.” 

”Glides on smoothly and evenly.” 

“Definitely my favorite mascara of all time and great value!” 

“Goes on so cleanly and smoothly, no clumps at all!”

“I can put on one coat for everyday, or really amp up my lashes for a special night out”

“Lashes look natural, thick, and luscious! :)”

What is the Best Mascara?

March Mascara Madness

 

“…really makes my eyes pop.” Makeup Gourmet Mascara User

The pursuit for the ‘best’ is an unrequited endeavor.

No matter what you may like, is there something better?

This endless loop is highly prevalent with mascara.

Obviously, everyone has unique needs and expected results, and each mascara is designed to fit a particular criteria.

I believe we give mascara too much credit. We expect the mascara to fulfill our lash enhancement needs.

 

 

In my experience, a little technique goes a very long way in making any mascara fulfill your lash enhancement needs.

” …glides on smoothly and evenly.” Makeup Gourmet Mascara User

 

In that light, the more straightforward  the mascara formula and wand the better.

 

Mascara that can be manipulated to do many things is my preference.

 

As we often are doing a different look for day, night, work play etc, having one mascara that can that can deliver a clean lash, a thick lash, a long lash, a false-lash look, and more, is ideal.

 

 

Have you heard about Makeup Gourmet’s mascara? It does all the above and more. All you need is a little technique.

“Definitely my favorite mascara of all time and great value!” Makeup Gourmet mascara user

 

Before getting to the technique demo videos, here is one piece of advice.

 

If you want your lashes to curl up, curl them. Although there is merit to some ‘curling’ mascaras, nothing curls lashes like an eyelash curler.

Final note: Always apply mascara last so no powder products float and stick to your lashes diminishing the light reflective finish of fresh mascara. No one wants an ashy lash.

MUGshot Studio Announces New Performance Video Trailers Service Designed to Increase Ticket Sales

Makeup Gourmet Chris Scott launches MUGshot Studio’s Performance Video Trailers Studio providing performing art companies a compelling and affordable marketing tool to capture future audience’s attention and curiosity.

SAN FRANCISCO – Feb. 20, 2018  – Makeup Gourmet is proud to announce the launch of it’s new MUGshot Studio performance video trailers studio delivering effective and innovative results for local and national performing arts marketing.

3 proven types of video trailers are suggested for clients. They are artisticclips, and interviews. A trailer can be specifically one of these three styles and easily a blend depending on the intent of the video trailer.

Having an MA in theater, and creating, producing, and editing his own TV show, Makeup Gourmet, Mr. Scott brings keen expertise to performance company’s marketing goals.

The combination of a performer’s mentality and television production experience is what makes Mr. Scott’s performance video trailers so effective.

“It is often difficult for artists to express their work to others without going into great detail. What they need is third-party objectivity that grasps the intention of their performance and communicates it clearly through short informative marketing video trailers,” Says Scott.

The imperative is that the trailer excites and ignites the viewer’s curiosity. Once accomplished, future audiences take the next step by getting further information from the performance companies website and eventually purchasing tickets.

Scott says, “It is imperative for performers to not want to tell the story in the trailer. The point of good marketing is to get someone to take action.”  Compelling performance video trailers do just that.

The needs of the performance company are often immediate. Completed video trailers are promised in a 48-hour turnaround. This enables performance companies to quickly get their word out in a visual way that is appealing and readily consumed by viewers.

Video content is favored by major search engines. Getting a quality video on performance companies website and social media outlets multiplies visibility.

The physical location of MUGshot Studio is San Francisco. Within the Bay Area, video footage taping service is offered along with the making of the trailer. Those from a further geographical location shoot their own footage and have it edited by MUGshot.

Mr. Scott closes with, “Remember, the goal is not to tell the story in the video trailer. The goal is to get audiences to buy a ticket.”

 -END –

Thank you for reading.

Chris Scott

BOOK: Face with a Heart by Chris Scott

Makeup for Cross Dressers and Female Identifiers

 

When doing male to female makeup, there are two makeups that need to be done.

The first makeup is to neutralize the male, and the second makeup is to apply the female.

The Face with a Heart method works with the geometry of the face. This translates into softening the squares and rectangles of the male anatomy and sharpening the triangles of the female anatomy.

 

Cross dressers

Cross dresser is a general term for any person who wears clothing typical of another gender, regardless of their reasons for doing so.

In my experience when working with cross dressers, there is something highly charging, like an electricity, when posing as your opposite of sex.

For many of my clients, they discover aspects of themselves that were never allowed to surface otherwise.

They make new friends. They have new conversations. Their personality broadens.

Unfortunately for many, their secret passion of cross dressing is feared to be misconstrued. 

Confidentiality is a must. This is why I am asked to do makeup for high profile notables such as Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Vice President Al Gore and Paul McCartney. What is discussed in the makeup room stays in the makeup room!

 

Female identifiers

For those born in a male body yet identifying as female, there is a confirming experience to look in the mirror and see a female, not just in identification, but in appearance.

The emotional freedom of accepting your sexual identification is a liberation. For those who wish to transition physically, there is a long road ahead. Every step of the journey helps to transfer one physical aspect of their whole.

Makeup has proven to be a powerful step towards female identification fulfillment.

 

Universal questions

What clothes do I like? What hairstyle do I like

If I choose to wear makeup what style of makeup do I like?

None of these answers are vital to survival, thus we are not genetically pre-dispositioned to know these things. This is what we develop as a personal sense of style.

When working with any client it is most important for me to understand their lifestyle, their needs, how they see themselves in the world, and to allow the makeup that I share with them to reflect that.

Makeup is universal. How we use it is unique.

 

Your look

I work with everyone, inclusive of cross dressers and female identifiers.

I ask everyone the same series of questions before I start their makeup lesson.  The purpose is to create an appropriate look for each person.

No one is supposed to wear makeup and no one is not supposed to wear makeup. If you choose to wear makeup, you want to look your best.

 

Makeup is for everyone

I welcome everyone equally, including crossdressers and female identifiers.

A strength is my ability to translate and simplify how you want to see yourself with makeup.

If you want to wear makeup, wear makeup. Let me show you how.

Whom do I recommend for bridal hair styling?

Referrals are tricky business. On one hand, we want to let others know about great things. On the other hand, what is great for one person may not be so great for another.

I used to jump at the chance to refer people that I thought did a great job. Problem is, a referral’s work becomes a reflection on you because you made the referral.

One of my only two negative Yelp reviews came from a bride who asked me online via Yelp for a last-minute hair stylist recommendation.

I never met the person who asked for the referral. Most of my regular hair peeps were booked so I made a first time referral with a hair stylist I had seen work once. I wanted to help.

Turns out this referral did not live up to the last-minute bride’s expectations. For this bride (who I never spoke to in person) there was no one to blame but me, obviously, since I was the one that made the referral.

Lesson learned.

Now when asked for a referral, I tell people I know someone whom I have hired in the past and would hire again, however please, use your own judgement on whether you want to hire them or not.

I preface all this because I have had a friend for many years who I first met one bridal hair & makeup morning. I was doing bridal makeup and she was doing hair.

The first time we were booked by the same bride, we only noticed each other.

The second time we were booked separately by another bride we said ‘hey I remember you from another wedding’ and we spoke favorably of each other’s work.

By the third time we were both booked coincidentally for another bridal hair and makeup morning, we took it as an omen and have been working together whenever possible ever since.

What I love about her work are so many things.

Here are the highlights:

  • She’s on time.
  • She works efficiently but not hurriedly, and every style she does is stunning.
  • She communicates before styling someone’s hair to make sure that the results are what they want.
  • When the result isn’t exactly what the client wants, she quickly and easily does something else. It is amazing to me how effortlessly she’s able to go from one look to another on the same head of hair in a matter of moments
  • We work extremely well together, especially with larger bridal parties (10 or more), getting everyone feeling and looking their very best in a timely fashion.
  • Another plus is that her pricing is similar to mine so we come across as equals in the client’s eyes as far as our value is concerned.

She is, without a doubt, the one person that I will refer unconditionally.

 

In your career life, think about the number of people who you may refer unconditionally, knowing that your referral puts your professional reputation on the line.

 

Freedom of Information on the internet rules. No one owns their own brand anymore. You are as good as what people say about you.

 

The best a brand owner can do is to put their best foot forward with everything they share.

This is my best foot forward. If you are looking for a bridal hair stylist, or any other event hair stylist, please look no further than Catherine Hackworth of Tulip Salon. My peer, my friend, my bridal hair and makeup morning buddy.

I know this post sounds like a paid advertisement. Nothing can be farther from the truth.
I was thinking about aspects of the bridal hair and makeup experience that gets the most positive feedback.
Hands down, the ease with which Cat and I work together to make the bridal morning go as smoothly as possible is always mentioned as a great memory of the wedding day (plus everyone looks ‘amazing’).

Thank you for reading.

Warmly,
Chris Scott
