The Makeup Artists of LJ (original) (raw)

Here is the info for the February contest at AMA!

First and formost we would like to thank our February Sponsor!

An iconoclastic philosophy, Nars believes there are no rules when it comes to beauty; whatever makes you look and feel good is right. We could not agree more!

The theme for February is Best Black & White Photography Makeup. Think Hurrell glamour shots, raw character photos, or artsy dramatic, just be creative! Submit your skills and original ideas in either a nice tight headshot or shoulders and head. Remember no nudity please. Be sure to read the rules for the dimension guidelines. As always this theme is yours to run with, interpret it how you want. Most importantly, have fun!

READ THE RULES AND TIPS FOR WINNING BEFORE ENTERING THE CONTEST!

- Post your entry as a reply to the February Contest thread HERE . Any entries not listed in this thread will be deleted and not qualify.

Do not ask friends to repost, don't go to other groups and ask them to vote for you, etc. You are being judged on the merit of your entry not by how many votes you can drum up.
- The voting starts on February 24th.
- Voting ends February 27th
- The winner will be announced February 28th.
- The next contest will begin March 1st.
