I think that's just in case the mentor offers to meet up with you in person for something maybe?

Well, there's nobody on the list from my area (Queensland, Australia) sad
and I'm wondering if anyone from other countries would mind answering some industry-related questions which are not area-specific.
Some things I need help with are marketing/networking - related.

Hey Julia,
A lot of us would be happy to help you even if we're in other countries.  A few of us may have never been to Australia, not know the suppliers there, etc to help you in that area.  Just contact any of us if you have a specific question and we'll help you.

Ok Peter this is awesome! How do we get a Mentor List going for Hairstylists as I would love to mentor those hairstylists less experienced than me and seek mentorship from those more experienced than I (say in the genre of of Avante Garde hairstyling)? I find this forum in general is so much more resourceful for MUA to MUA but not HS to HS. Most of the questions on this site are from our Do-It-Yourself Adventurous Models requesting hairstyling/coloring tips on how to do their own hair for a photoshoot.

Please advise on how we can start a list for serious professional Beauty/Editorial Fashion and Runway HairStylists.Continue this great deed.

All The Best,
Rita

Hi Rita

For the LIST to be viable, you need about a dozen 'founder' stylists willing to be Mentors, and keep the LIST 'active' in the early stages. Otherwise it will soon disappear into the depths of the forum.

If you would like to try it, post a new thread to see if there is enough interest amongst stylists, and if there is, message me and i will start it up for you (or you can do it yourself).

Good luck.

Peter

Thank you for the photo comment, I enjoyed viewing your port as well. I also appreciate your guidance on this matter of starting a HS Mentor List. What is a 'founder' member? Do I qualify? And what is entailed ib keeping a list active?

Once I put the word out to get at least a dozen Hair Stylists to start out with, I definitely will be needed your help.

Thanks again.

All The Best,

Hi Jules, I should probably point out that so far, I'm the only Aussie mentor, so basically I'm it so far for the entire nation it seems, but everyone around this forum is pretty good for general industry questions. If you're worried about wasting anyones time or bugging anyone, I suggest hitting up the forum search - pretty much everything in general has been covered pretty well.

I have a question (and I'd like to keep this thread alive) does anyone have a tutorial on either the perfect bee stung lips or I'd like to see how other artists perfect the lip line.

Gracias.

Lip line perfection by me : Usually acheived by using a thin lip brush with lipstick on it, over a base of Lip Liner. Line as well as you can, and then with the edge and point of the brush draw your line, will give you a nice crisp edge.

Qtips and concealer or foundation on another brush help me with the "Oops" moments in lining lips.

Anyone ever had a problem with someone stealing your copyrighted work and posting it as their own? I have a lawyer and am confident this person will have to take it down one way or the other. Should I watermark all my work from now on to keep this from happening again?

Thought this would be a helpful topic for many.


Happy 4th of July!

Ive never had that issue but I know MANY have. I personally don't like watermarked images, but, if it makes you feel more secure then go for it! Is it someone on MM? If so, let a MOD know and we can get the profile taken down smile
