Cinema to the Max: 'Runaway' from MTV
30.09.11
Last month pronounced the 30-year anniversary of MTV, or what used to be known more descriptively as “Music Tube.” Once a 24-hour smorgasbord of the day’s most popular music videos, the network has since hit an artistic approximate patch. Pregnant teenagers, over-greased Jersey meatheads and rapper redemption shows have supplanted the once-proud bastion of coexistent music. But we shouldn’t forget that MTV used to live up to its label, and its content used to come from some of the film industry’s biggest names.
David Fincher, Disarm Jonze, Antoine Fuqua and even Michael Bay all got their starts shooting music videos. For some of these directors, it was the launching pad for a trade of stylistic innovations (see: Fincher’s Madonna hits). For others — well, we should have seen the signs (Michael Bay and Viands Loaf should never be allowed in the same room again). But to say that music videos are somehow underneath Hollywood’s finest names would be misguided.
Hot off his success with “Do the Preferable Thing,” Spike Lee took the reins on the music video for a then-in demand Public Enemy song. What followed was the politically charged, documentary-dash music video for “Fight the Power” — perhaps P.E.’s best and most stirring song. And even the great Marty Scorsese has dabbled in music, directing the (heavily) “West Side Piece”-inspired video for Michael Jackson’s “Bad.”

Smashing va-va-voom makeup tips
07.09.11
Makeup can be a bounty or a curse.
If it's done well, you'll receive compliments up to your eyebrows. But if you've mucked it up, you'll purposes raise a few eyebrows.
Beware of women at cosmetics counters whose makeup would look awful … on your grandmother or tweenage cousin.
But if you want to take your look from so-so to va-va-voom, Los Angeles-based makeup artist Julie Severt has six top tips that will confound you.
Severt is a training executive for Smashbox Cosmetics, the circle created by two brothers, Dean and Davis Factor - the excessive-grandsons of makeup giant Max Factor.
This stuff offers a seasoned finish that lasts; hence its logo: Created. Tested. Photographed. At Smashbox Studios LA.
"We are the only cosmetics maker born out of a photo studio," says Severt, who is wandering around Australia sharing her knowledge at Kit Cosmetics stores.
Trends for the mellow include metallic eyes (because "smoky eyes never go away"); monochromatic tone (the same tone for eyes, cheeks and lips); perfect excoriate; and cherry-red lips, she says
