Dunno if this is Kevyn’s makeup, but it’s too amazing not to be.

More photos I did of Adrienne. For the smokey eye, I smudged out a L’oreal liquid liner with Carbon eyeshadow by MAC. So the effect is super intense black.

I did Adrienne’s makeup and took some pictures, once again in her bathroom.

Some of my fave makeup that I’ve ever done, thanks to Matthew Burditt’s photoshopping (which saved my bunk-ass eyebrow block).

Angie has used every fabulous foundation from Armani to Hourglass. But here she looks like she’s downgraded to wet N wild. Via Dlisted.

Brooke in what I’m guessing is Way Bandy makeup.

"The odd thing about ‘Taxi Ride’ [from her 2001 release, Scarlet’s Walk] was that this song was being written before he died, and he even heard that line, ‘just another dead fag to you.’ I was writing it as part of another song about a gay guy who was dying of AIDS. He miraculously recovered, and the song didn’t get written. It started propelling itself again early this year, and Kevyn and I were having conversations…and I didn’t know what was coming. But I knew he was in pain, and he felt betrayed by people who weren’t there when he was in need. Then everybody who shows up in his death can give a statement, but they weren’t there in the trenches. His death brought up a lot of things in people - some lovely and some despicable and disgusting. ‘Taxi’ is for Kevyn."
