Cosmetic Sorcery: New Commercial Shows How Makeup Can Make It Easier To Love Yourself

Makeup can help change your self-esteem as well as face ! New Makeup Campaign Shows How Cosmetics Help Love Yourself Here’s an unexpected approach for a makeup commercial : These videos feature two women removing their makeup and showing the “imperfections” that lie underneath, rather than floating through some airbrushed fantasy. Via Gawker reports: AdWeek reports that the spots are for Dermablend, a “camouflage” brand generally used by those dealing with skin conditions. So they got Cassandra Bankson, who does YouTube makeup tutorials and has acne, and Cheri Lindsay, a volleyball coach with the depigmentation condition vitiligo, to sit down and talk about the role that concealing makeup plays in their lives. Both suggest it makes it easier for them to move through the world and be recognized as who they truly are. “I used to use makeup to cover up, and to hide who I was. Now, I use it to express myself and show the world who I truly am,” Bankson says in her video. Lindsay is even more explicit: “I chose to just find an alternative—something that I could put on my face that would help people to look through the initial shock of, ‘Oh, half her face is white but she’s a black girl.’” It’s clear these two women have found makeup to be a genuinely empowering tool for self-expression. But it’s also sad to think that society has put them in a situation where they feel they need some sort of strategy to cope with the fact they look different. YT Continue reading

Entertainment Industry Insider Marcus “Quest” Sims Releases Soul-Baring Memoir “I’m Naked And Tired Vol. 1″

Marcus Sims has one helluva story… When 12 year industry veteran Marcus “Quest” Sims first announced plans to release his memoir, most people eagerly anticipated a “who-slept-with-who, drug addiction-fueled, tell all. But “Quest” shocked readers with his work “I’m Naked And Tired”. Instead of a salacious confessional “I’m Naked and Tired” is a raw and uncensored take on Quest’s look at life, failure, pain, and redemption. Says Quest: “I could have given people what they think they wanted and done the whole pull the curtain back on people’s lives, but that’s not me I wasn’t going to dry snitch for personal gain. I wanted people to know what I had been through, what shapes the way I see the world, and why I am what I am. My hope is that if someone else see’s what I went thru, and am still going thru, then maybe I can save someone’s life” You can download the book for free HERE When asked why free Quest says: “My editor was so mad, but they were taking to long to get it out. I’m not worried about the money I had a story to tell. I have a lot of wrongs to answer for and try to atone for, so I just woke up and decided to give the people my soul” Here is a moving excerpt from the book: When my grandmother was in the hospital, as much as I didn’t want to admit it, I knew there was a chance she wouldn’t make it, when I got the call that TJ shot himself but was in critical condition, I wanted him to recover, but I knew that it was a strong chance he wouldn’t, and what if he had? I mean he did just put a bullet in his head, surely something in his life was so bad that he wanted to end it, so how selfish of me would it have been to only think “he’s going to get better”, maybe the best thing for him to do was to go to heaven, at least there the problems and pain he was dealing with couldn’t get to him If you or someone you know is going through a dark period in their life, then this book is definitely a must read!
