COMPETITION: RETRO & VINTAGE PHOTOSHOOT!

[lechatrouge2]

Hello! I absolutely love all of your vids! You are incredible! Just wanted to know what the last song is called? It's very catchy! I'm really digging it! :) Thanks!

[chapparita03]

I believe it's time for another contest ;)

[mindful826]

glad you're active again! I can't wait until this contest is over so I can compete in the next one! Everyone did such a great job!

[ihaveadog1213]

What's the name of the last song y'all use in this video? I love it :)

[Ngthefirst]

i was wondering is this competition still on? i mean when will be next round. :)

[askmemakeup]

It's been hard going through all the entries! There were A LOT!!!!! I'm going to be announcing the finalists on Wednesday 16th April, and I'm going to be putting in the next issue of the mag pics from all of the entries for everyone to see. Everyone did an amazing job!

[DoloresD]

I'm so sorry I missed this contest.

is there any chance that you'll be running another one, I would just LOVE and excuse to play around with these styles.

:D

Dol

[askmemakeup]

There definitely will be! I've been thinking of different comp ideas too!

[vneefong]

amy, how's the competition going on? I'm excited to know who's into the finalist!

[askmemakeup]

The finalists will be announced on April 16th, this Wednesday. There's a lot to go through!

[StaryEyedWonder12]

when are we going to be hearing the results, just a ball parklol, obviously not for i while i imagine, hundreds of these to go through on your own, but i was just wondering

thanks amy

[askmemakeup]

Wednesday 16th April. There are so many entries to go through. Lots of downloading for me to do!

[xVivaGlamx]

I hope you do extend the competition date until after the mod make-up video is up. =D

[askmemakeup]

Omigod! I'm so sorry! The mod makeup vid was a disaster. My boyfriend helped me out for time, and edited the last half of it for me. It was all good to go, then the files on my computer were misplaced, the video editing process was mucked up, then my computer crashed, and now it's lost!!!!! Grrrrrr!!!! I'm so sorry. I have the stills from the vid though, I might still add the shots to the next issue of the mag or something.

[fiorebella21212]

I couldn't be happier to know that you will be a bit lenient in allowing an extra few pics. Could I also try your 1920s Flapper? Will you be extending the deadline?

Thanks so much for the inspirations,

Mariflor

[iwantimplants]

=0( How am I just now seeing this?! =0( I wanna do it!

[ilovegerardo]

I've recently sent you my entry. I hope you receive it. :)

[larissasapz]

Hi! I was wonderinf if we had to use one of your hair tutorials to eneter this contest / photoshoot. If so , where can we find them? :) thank you, your videos are great!

[neon60s]

It's a shame you don't star in your videos anymore, you are so beautiful :)

[soulsub]

sounds so much fun! I have to enter this competition... I just discovered this whole world of youtube and then your videos and I really like them...keep up the good& amazingly pretty work!!

[lilkodncr]

is there an age restriction?

[askmemakeup]

There is no age restriction.

[bluechica009]

this competition isn't fair... people can go to a professional and have their make up done and also have their picture taken.

I think they should have two videos. One showing how and what they used to achieve the look as proof they did it themselves. And a video showing it off.Just my opinion, the prize is a lot so a lot of work should go into winning.

[askmemakeup]

I can assure you, all entries have been amateur. Some people taking pics on their webcam, or getting a friend to take a photo of them. I haven't had one entry so far that is questionnable at all!

[Rydinhorsez890]

I reeeally want to enter this contest with the 60s Mod look, but i was wondering if you had posted it yet.

[askmemakeup]

Ugh! THere has been such a problem finalising this video. We got it edited and then lost the files.... having to re-edit it, and put a voice over to it. I'm thinking of extending the end date for the comp for those people that wanted to do the mod look.

[bossyhoss]

I'm going to Australia!!! :) Yippiiiiii!!!! Perth is gonna be my new hometown =)

[askmemakeup]

Cool!!! I have family in Perth, but I've only been there a couple of times. Make sure you come to Sydney at some stage!

[Zandra1985]

do the hair has to be the same as in your videos...? I like the pink makeup but the hairstyle wont fit me...

[askmemakeup]

You can do your hair however you like. These pinup hairstyles don't suit my face either!

[holyfreakpraise]

wow,me and my friends would love to do this! I LOVE askmemakeup! You guys have helped me so much!

[Saiainoshi]

Ooo I really want to do this! :D

[rodromoptero]

i have a question... i´m from mexico, can i get into this? :)

[askmemakeup]

As it says in the vid, anyone from around the world can enter!!!

[dafnesd]

Oh! Yes!

I´m from brazil and I´m in... =)

[Nele18]

Hey,

Is there a possibility to reconstruct dried MAC Fluidline ?

LG

[askmemakeup]

That's a very interesting question! Koren of Enkoremakeup might be the best person to ask about that. I've never had a problem with my fluidliners, but I don't use them that often. Let me know if you find a solution. I'd be very interested to hear.

[Ladylovaitar]

Can we only send in five, or can we send in a few more? Maybe 6-7 perhaps? ^_^

[askmemakeup]

I've been a little laxed with it, you can send me about 7 if you want.

[OyenSingsAndStuff]

Wow, I want to join! Sounds like real fun!

Hey Amy, do you have a requirement for the size of the photos?

[askmemakeup]

As long as they're not too small! Big is fine.

[pari4life]

Do the set of five have to be the same model or the same look?

Or can we do different?

[askmemakeup]

You can do different looks.

[angelasvoice]

Wait. so we do a video and email u rite?

[askmemakeup]

Email me the pics. Only these entries will be judged. But if you want to do a video to show everyone what you did, you can attach it to this, but it will not be judged.

[askmemakeup]

Email me the pics. Only these entries will be judged. But if you want to do a video to show everyone what you did, you can attach it to this, but it will not be judged.

[WhiteHouseRedDoor]

Where are the hair tutorials that were uploaded Feb 29th? Did I miss them? or are they just going to be on your website and not youtube? I cant wait to see them which is why I ask :)

[askmemakeup]

I don't know if you checked out my blog. My computer crashed last week, and I only just a couple of days ago bought a new computer! Very inconvenient!!! The mod makeup vid will be up this weekend, and the hair vids will have to wait till next week (had trouble getting a model).

[mtgala007]

Have you posted the mod video yet?

[askmemakeup]

It's coming this evening. My computer crashed last week, and I had to buy a new one!!!

[halembaby]

I'm pretty excited about doing this... I'm a tattoo artist, and i love doing hair an make up!!! we will see how it turns out!!!

[dustystar06]

I love it!! Just one question... how come u didn't put on the other two tutorials =]?

[askmemakeup]

I wanted to keep the comp as simple and straight forward as possible.

[prettyeyedbandita]

Is it ok to do a combination look from the pink pinup video and the Vintage pinup girl video?

[askmemakeup]

I'd prefer you do one or the other.

[miguelitaxxx]

Hey u can say, the name this music?

;P

thnx

[xxmisslilyxx]

Sounds Great, I Am Just Callingg My Friend !! I Have To Tell Her, ! Even If I Dont Win It Will Be soooo Amazingly fun !

[Escaloca]

is this international ? i'm from singapore. can i join as well ? :)

[askmemakeup]

Yep!!!! As I said in the vid, anyone around the world can enter! I have such an international audience!

[chatopaco08]

amy i love that you are doing this, can the photos be retouched???

[askmemakeup]

Yes. I am really looking for a styled shoot... the whole package. Some people have been photoshopping to create a certain look.

[dirrtxme]

I will def. give a shot in this contest!

[WhiteHouseRedDoor]

HAHA-I love how she "blinks" with the music! (1:47-1:51)

[askmemakeup]

Hahhahaahhaa.... I didn't notice it at all. Normally I pick up on stuff like that, but this was completely unintentional!

[askmemakeup]

Hahhahaahhaa.... I didn't notice it at all. Normally I pick up on stuff like that, but this was completely unintentional!

[alicelin1990]

i want to participate!!

but ...

got exams coming up.... T.T

[jdiaz8460608]

Does it matter what age or gender as far as the people who enter the contest?

[askmemakeup]

I don't mind the age or gender. A few guys are entering!

[rhibee123]

woop im SO entering this....must find a model :) x

[bandosrule]

I'm excited!! I'm definately entering...though I plan to use myself as a model...that will be interesting..haha. I've never done portraits as a photographer, so I guess it will be a learning experience ^^

[KariJerene]

Do we have to choose one look to use in our photo shoot or can we use a look from more that one of the videos we're allowed to pick from? For example, I'm imagining myself doing this with My best friends Tami and Bree and doing the old hollywood look on Tami, pink vintage look on Bree and the Vintage Pinup look on myself.

Or do we have to choose one look for the entire shoot?

[askmemakeup]

You have 5 pics to submit, so you can submit 5 from the shoot. If there is a particular shoot or series of pics I'm interested, I might ask for more pics of that shoot.

I'd be really interested to see the three of you together in a shot!

[Julibeans]

i want to do a 1920s theme, can i use the makeup in the video "Old Hollywood Makeup" ?

[askmemakeup]

Yep!

[nam0412]

Wow! This contest looks so cool!

I'll try this out, everyone has a shot at $200, right? XDD

Plus, all of this sounds really fun!

[misamayah]

That's ok,lol..I thought it would be because your pics look so professional xxx Thanks!

[taterbiscuits04]

I'm seriously considering this. Absolutely LOVE your videos.

[misamayah]

Hi Amy! Can I ask what camera you use to take pics of your models? Thank you =)

[askmemakeup]

Ummm... it's some fancy schmany camera that I don't really know how to use! It's a Nikkon, but I don't know what model. Sorry!

[megalomanic250586]

are we allowed to use some photomanipulation to alter lighting or tone and stuff? For example, If I wanted to shoot in b&w and then tint the photos? :)

[askmemakeup]

That's fine!

[BlowMinding]

Is that beret from Bardot?

[askmemakeup]

YES!!!! Ding ding ding... correct answer!

I was actually on my way through the shopping centre trying to find a beret to bead, and then walked straight past this and was thankful I didn't need to spend my evening sewing!

[LollipopxSugar]

omg sounds awesome, i can't enter because I haven't learned enough yet and dont have the right makeup, but i'll definitely look into voting and such! Sounds awesome, great idea.

[lalley8488]

i am so doing this! i have already lined up my models and picked a place for the photoshoot! i live in a dorm so this should be interesting:) aha

[wingwomanlovesu]

i just choped all of, well most of, my hair off. is there any type of pinup girl hair style that will work for me?

i you need me to i can email u a pic of my new do so yu can sse wut ur working with...

lillie

[bellaladonna]

how fun!!!

[Berryboogers]

Yay~~~ I was wondering, are we allowed to add titles to the pictures? I'm totally psyched :'D

[askmemakeup]

Yep!

[ValerieLovezMe]

How fun!!!!! What a great reason to get girls together and just have fun! Thanks Amy , your the best!

[KickAssCourtneyxX]

Ohhh I am sooo excited. I've been wanting to do a vintage photo shoot for months and this gives me a PERFECT reason to! :)

I'm doing it. My sisters will be my models. Both of whom are in LOVE with the vintage look. My friend Dana may be a model as well, as she has a Bettie Page look to her :) (And the Bettie Page hair! haha)

I am so doing it. Expect to see from me by March 31) :)

Thanks for this awesome opportunity!!! :)

[Hypomnesia]

Oh wow this is such an awesome competition idea.

Ironically I just did a pin-up look tonight, I loved it. If I can find a friend to take pics for me I might enter. Sadly my photographer friend is moving to QLD tomorrow lol.

[TheBrightest]

Ooohh...I'm going to wait until the mod video is up and I'm going to try that! I love your vintage style!

I probably won't stand a chance with EnKore entering, though! But it'll still be fun! hehe. :)

[sappyxsorb]

Oh sounds like a super cute idea!! I can't wait for the hair tutorials!

[wuzzyangel]

Hi Amy! Could you tell me where you find all your gorgeous vintage/retro images of yours? I tried a web search, but got too many different things. I would like to look for more inspiration! Especially if I could find vintage asian looks! Thanks!

[askmemakeup]

Look up the asian actress in a movie called "Faster Pussycat Kill Kill" by Russ Meyer. I can't remember her name. She's super cute.

I search so many things..... like vintage pinup girls, retro woman, retro fashion, etc. I have such a huge collection of inspirational pics on my computer that Ive collected over years!

[wuzzyangel]

Thanks soo much! She's Tura Satana she played Varla right?, and can you believe it but I've actually seen that movie before! She's soo kick ass! In real life too! You should read her bio.... it's scary tough! Thanks again for all the search tips!

[xosummerloveoxx]

is it ok if some of the pics are in black and white or sepia?

[askmemakeup]

That's fine!

[yeyis12]

well not that profesional but you know!

[yeyis12]

Can we go to a place were they take pro pics. or do we have to take them?

[askmemakeup]

Hmmm.... good question. I guess I'd prefer it be an amateur shoot, just to give everyone a fair chance.

[VannieBop]

question. i plan to enter into the contest. can i do it being short and a bit husky?

[askmemakeup]

Of course! I do not discriminate.

[VannieBop]

I will be entering into your contest. expect an email of my photoshoot in mid month or earlier of march. I'm very much excited

[MakeUpAddictAli]

omg omg im soooo excited!woohoo!

[xxwoofykinsxx]

question: you want 5 different pictures of the same look, or can you submit more than one look?

:3

[askmemakeup]

You can do 5 of the same look or 5 pics with different looks, etc. I don't mind either way.

[azindie]

If you look below, she already answered that question and yes, you may. I'm not trying to me mean, I'm just saying.

[xxwoofykinsxx]

If you need to say, "I'm not trying to be mean," after a statement, obviously you're trying to be mean. You don't have to be testy to be helpful. A mere, "Yes you can," would have sufficed perfectly well enough. And fyi, that comment wasn't there when I asked (they don't post and show instantly) so you're excused.

[ellenranit]

oOOOoh hair tutoriallssssss

[hapycasy]

YAY!!

[sugarcanelies]

(I hope no one asked this), In the five photos we can use multiple "looks"?

[askmemakeup]

Yes!

[ilovegerardo]

Can I participate? ^___^

[askmemakeup]

Hahhaha! Of course you can!!!! I can't wait to see yours too!

I'm going to refer people to your hair vids in my hair tutorial vid next week! Is that ok?

[ilovegerardo]

Of course! ^___^

I want to take some but at home. I don't want to submit the professional ones I took recently.

[askmemakeup]

Omigod Iris! I just checked out your page and am amazed by the photo! You look so beautiful.

[ilovegerardo]

Thank you. I don't want to submit those because I didn't take those AND we didn't follow the contest rules. I want to use that video, as per the rules and do my own "unprofessional" photo shoot

[ilovegerardo]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!! ^__^

[iArielle]

Do we have to use the same time period for all 5 photos?

[askmemakeup]

Nope! You can submit 5 pics from any time period or look!

[EndlessChatter]

amazing~

[cokewhore37]

amy you spelled submissions wrong lol! "SUMBISSIONS".

XOXO

[askmemakeup]

Hhahahaha!!! Oh no! I finished the video at 2am last night! Hahahhaha.... even my boyfriend watched it and we both didn't notice!

[cokewhore37]

lol thats ok, i had to take a double take to notice it. i read it and was like, hold on a sec.....and then realized the M B switch up.

ha. love

[alexreedthompson]

OMG Im so doing this :)

[askmemakeup]

I really want to see your entry!!!!

[sweetkisses111]

oh ok i read that you had to be subscribed right after i wrote that comment so sorry

um and one more question if you don't mind do you want us to completely follow your steps & try to put our own little spin on it or can we make our own look like inspired by your videos but different?

thanks

[askmemakeup]

I want it to be following my steps. Obviously there's a little room to move, especially in us all not being able to use the same products.

[sweetkisses111]

hi i was just wondering if you needed a youtube account to do this because my friend said she wanted to try and enter<3!

[askmemakeup]

Yes, you have to be subscribed to this channel for this particular competition. It only takes a couple of minutes to register and then sub!

[andeybrown]

is it against the rules to recreate old pinpup paintings from vargas or elvgren and the such?

[askmemakeup]

Nope! Anything that takes your fancy, or anything that inspires you!

[xxwoofykinsxx]

COOL! I totally want to enter but I have no idea what to do with my hair...(its not vintagey at all. >:/) OMG I must work on this. :3

I'm also looking forward to the Mod and hair tutorials.

[madamepeabody]

I'm so excited hehehe =P I can't do artsy stuff without motivation or a criteria sometimes, you got me pumped up. I get to take pictures and everything

[xsparkage]

aw this might be fun to do with my sister, hehe

[askmemakeup]

Hahhaha... YEAH!!!! I wanna see it! God, she's hilarious!

[SuburbanH3LL]

what was the first song call? I've heard it before...

[askmemakeup]

In His Kiss.... Cher did a version of it in the 90s for the movie, Mermaids.... off the top of my head. Had Winona Ryder in it and Christina Ricci and the song was on the top 40!

[summerchild90]

i´m sooo so so exited about it, it will be my first competition on here. can´t wait!!!

love you, amy^^

[askmemakeup]

Love you too! Hahahah.

Funny story, once I was finishing a meeting with a supplier at work, and it was an official sort of meeting. The woman shook my hand at the end and said "ok, thank you, love you" and she just turned red, and my colleague and I were laughing. Hahhahahaha. It was just so funny.

[Berryboogers]

YAYY!! I'm excited ^___^

[sixtieschick06]

i would love to enter ^_^

but how old do you have to be?

[askmemakeup]

No age limit!

[xmakeupjunkiex]

That´s so cool. But I´m not sure how I´m going to do it because I took 2 wisdom teeth out yesterday and I´ll take 2 more next week. My face is so swollen and I´m in pain! But maybe by sunday my face is fine. Let´s see, I would love to make a photoshoot, I LOVE take pics! :)

[askmemakeup]

Oh no, you poor thing!!! My brother had his 2 wisdom teeth taken out just a couple of weeks ago, and he was so miserable, he ended up moving in with mum for a few days! I hope you are feeling ok, and that someone is looking after you, and making you soup!

[equus418]

The trick it to put is to put an ice pack on your face as soon as the teeth are pulled out to keep down the swelling. It's the swelling that hurts b/c your tissues are expanding. So, take an ice cooler with you with a bag of ice if your dentist doesn't give you an ice pack himself. 20 min. on, then 20 min. off for maybe an hour. I've had 10 teeth pulled in my life--4 wisdom, 4 canine/incisors when I had braces put in and 2 recently for dental implants. Trust me it works.

[xmakeupjunkiex]

yeah, thanks!! I did it on the first hour and it helped a little bit (I should have left more time). But 10 teeth? wow!! That´s a lot! I still have 2 more and I´m already sad. lol

And thanks Amy, yeah, my mom is making soup while she is eating a pizza. hahahaha

[sixtieschick06]

i cannot wait for the hair tutorials!

:D yay thank you so much!

[xosummerloveoxx]

oooo im going to try this! cool theme!

[EnKoreMakeup]

woo hoo! what a great idea for a contest! And, its sooo YOU! I'll ask enKorinne if she'll enter hahahaha

[askmemakeup]

Hell yeah!!!

Also, I didn't get the email with your details..... I may also have accidently deleted it too..... naughty naughty

[serenspain]

You are absolutely fantasical for doing this!

Is it O.K if I do the whole old hollywood thing with more dramatised/atmospheric twist in the photos than your cute fun themes?

Or would you prefer a more iconic sweetheart look? Sorry if i'm being a pain. Just not sure if you're particular or not :S

xo

[askmemakeup]

Whatever takes your fancy. As long as it's using my makeup looks, you can do whatever you like with the shoot!

[angeluv009]

can't wait for the sixties mod and hairstyle videos! ahh feb is turning out to be a good month :-)

[mochalatte233]
