This year as the arts have had to come back from their most challenging year ever, The Powder Group is honored to presents a very special program to support our favorite arts organization — Provincetown Arts Association and Museum (PAAM) — through something we all love at TPG – lipstick!

This spring, The Powder Group once again partnered with Three Custom Color (3CC) to create a special lipstick to support PAAM. The special shade, TPG PAAM 2021, was developed by makeup artist Liz Fuller in partnership with 3CC co-founder Chad Hayduk and TPG Director of Artistry, James Vincent. 100% of the proceeds from sales of the shade TPG PAAM 2021 — a vibrant, cherry popsicle red in a sheer formulation that Continue reading →

INDUSTRY NEWS: WORLD BODY PAINTING FESTIVAL 2021 ONLINE

Posted on by

Last year due to the pandemic, for the first time in it’s more than two decade history, The World Bodypainting Festival live program had to be cancelled. But not one for sitting on the sidelines waiting to be able to join together again in person, the program’s founder Alex Barendregt decided to go online with the event. The virtual event was a great success and while the 2021 event was originally planned to go live again in Klagenfurt, Austria, the ongoing pandemic issues made this impossible so Alex once again is going online with the program. We sat down (virtually) with Alex to learn more about this months event.

This will mark the second year that the WBF has been held virtually. How was last year’s event received by the WBF community?
The community fully understood that we had to cancel the live event. It took us some weeks to announce that we are going to do a virtual event and the response was incredible. They loved it very much to be able to create some art at least from their homes. The common feeling during the pandemic was depressing enough, it was a
bright light on the dark horizon that we pulled off such a virtual contest. Within the week of the program, the world was busy creating bodypainting and makeup art. Artists from 55 nations took part, which is just incredible. After asking some people if they want to share their studio, or makeup school with other artists, the WBF Creative hotspots were born. 20 of these WBF hotspots around the world invited other artists and they made a kind of micro festival in their city.

What were some of the highlights from last year?
We didn’t realize it while organizing the event, but this WBF Covid Edition 2020 was the first World Championship (not only in the makeup industry) that went from a Live to a Hybrid version. The full week was a highlight, with such a diverse program. The final TV Show we broadcasted was a unique new experience, for me personally as a host, and for the community as a format of presenting.

What will be different about this year’s program?
We will have more competition categories online and one live, the World Camouflage Award. There are many more Continue reading →

100 Debts of Gratitude: Thank You To Our 2020 Presenters and Sponsors

Posted on by

Greetings and Happy New Year pros and industry friends!
First and most importantly I hope this message finds you safe and well as we head into 2021.

This was certainly quite a year for the professional makeup and beauty industries – and the world at large. We watched as a pandemic, important social justice issues, natural disasters and a political climate like no other – along with the stress and uncertainty that came with it all – changed who we are and how we behave forever.

We sat in a great pause – one that we are still in – that overtook our ability to Continue reading →

INDUSTRY NEWS: REVELHAUS COMES TO NASHVILLE

Posted on by

What does a pair of creative, driven and passionate New Yorkers do during a pandemic? Move to Music City and open a new brick-and-mortar beauty retail space. We caught up with partners Bennett Jason and Martin Casanova to learn more about this style-focused destination and what’s next for their brand Revelhaus.

What made you decide to open Revelhaus?
Revelhaus is a culmination of needs and wants. Coming to Nashville from NYC, a primary intention was to own our own business, embracing curation to bring brands not easily found in the Nashville area. Pairing that with Nashville’s only  “theater and performance” store recently closing, we noticed a big entertainment market getting left stranded with nowhere to replenish. We wanted to change that, while introducing today’s most inspired makeup brands in a tangible way.

What is the concept of the store?
Reestablishing destination boutiques with pro education and regionally hard to find brands. Our brands cater to the convenience girl with a 5 minute beauty ritual, lots of multiple products, lots of time management tips and tricks. We also are the destination for Continue reading →
