(BlackNews.com) - "A lady's makeup is as much a part of her
wardrobe as her clothes - and right now, a lot of ladies are
walking around half-dressed." So says makeup artist Christine
Reynolds in her new DVD, MAKEUP AND BEAUTY SECRETS FOR
WOMEN OF COLOR, released early this year.
Beginning April 25, 2006, Christine's DVD goes on sale nationally.
Video Distributor Tapeworm Inc. will distribute and make the
popular "How to" DVD available for customers at major chain
stores to include Best Buy, Circuit City, Sam Goody's Video
Stores and several online video outlets such as Amazon.com
and Borders Books. Tapeworm is one of the leading independent
distributors of premiere quality home entertainment products.
Christine,
the former National Trainer for Fashion Fair Cosmetics,
is the owner of I Sparkle Cosmetics on Rodeo Road in
Los Angeles. She created this DVD to teach women how
to identify their skin types and care for their skin,
as well as how to choose and apply makeup correctly
- skills which, in her experience, too many women lack.
"It's not about looking glamorous," Christine insists,
"although there's nothing wrong with that. It's about
looking right."
In the DVD, viewers watch as three untrained women receive
step-by-step instruction from Christine: first, on how
to care for their skin; then on professional makeup
techniques for enhancing eyes, lips, and skin tone.
"Skin care is who you are," observes Christine. "Makeup
is who you want to be."
In the early
1970's, Barbara Walden, a cosmetics pioneer for women
of color, discovered Christine in a downtown department
store and made her a beauty advisor. By 1998, Christine
had become Fashion Fair's National Trainer, traveling
the country sharing with managers and beauty consultants
not only what she knew about the craft and the products,
but also about marketing and selling them.
She opened
her own business in 2003, and she reflects now that
"God was preparing me" by giving her so much, and such
varied, experience. "He was putting me together."
Christine
-- who is arguably her craft's own best advertisement
-- has applied makeup on everyone from Will Smith (for
a cover of Ebony) to deceased loved ones ("I knew how
she would want to look.") She grew up in Compton, the
daughter of a minister-father and a mother who "never
wore a speck of make-up."
At the conclusion
of the DVD, women are encouraged to start over at the
beginning; choose the products that are right for them;
and follow along until they, too, are able to put on
a new face in just 5 - 10 minutes. ("A little longer,
if you apply eyelashes.")
