Sorry no bigger picture, but you can go and get your very own copy to check out here. I was happy to receive this in my mail the other day. Its a new way cool Magazine. With features on Billy b, Ugly Betty, The Artist of CNN and The new wave of Burlesque Beauties, it was just what the doctor ordered.
I have to say that I am excited to see a new magazine to be done by the folks I consider to be really one of the most informative (and Friendly) organizations in Makeup. Be sure to subscribe so this magazine can be everywhere in the next few months. Only 28 dollars in the Us.


From the site: On Makeup Magazine:
the first-ever magazine dedicated to the craft of the professional makeup artist and based in the beauty capital of the world — New York City!
Available four times a year as Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall issues, On Makeup Magazine offers 3 annual subscriptions. Price varies according to shipping destination.

During my hiatus, I was able to really think about what I want for the site, so there will be some changes being made over the weekend and some new weekly features on movies, magazines and artist we should be seeing and knowing. I am so glad to finally be back in blogger seat again!!!!
See you soon
