New Manager

At some point I am going to have to start looking for a manager. Now that I don't have the studio any longer I am flying all over the place to work. I keep saying that I am going to sign up to start racking up on my flying miles but I never get a chance to do it. Its on my list so it will get done hopefully before I leave out again this week.

So, I know I kinda hinted when I saw Kris Jenner from “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” that I am looking for a manager/agent when I was in Tampa. She paused like she thought about it. I watched her show tonight and saw how Kourtney treated her mom's. I felt so bad for Kris and I am really serious about having her managing me. I may need to call in set up a meeting and pitch it to her. I really like her a lot in she gets me in my hustle plus my career would not clash with her girls.

So, I am just putting it out there that I, Celebrity Makeup Artist Brandy Gomez-Duplessis would love to have KRIS JENNER as my MANAGER…just saying.

Makeup Artists thanks

Just wanted to thank makeup artists Bella and Natalie for helping me out as I need a little time to deal with the death of Heidi. Yesterday her husband sent some pics of her and I lost it again. I didn't realize how much I meant to her. Its weird cuz she was my angel always fighting for me and helping me with assignments.

Making The Band Drama

Ok WTF…Chris Brown #2

Q…is not going to make it in the industry. He has to many personal problems, he’s hot headed and he’s not mature enough. I am so glad Dawn stood up to him, gave him real talk and put him in his place. I don’t know if she got in his head but I am glad she was honest in fair about the fight. She didn’t take sides because she is dating him.

What a lot of people don’t understand is the entertainment industry is hard to be in. Yes, it looks great on tv but it is the hardest thing. Nobody never teaches these young kids how money works in the industry. Money is never what you think it is going to be. Then if you come from broken families and you make it everybody is at you begging for money not understanding that you don’t get your money the same day, the next day, and/or the next week sometimes. A lot of time the people that make it in the industry come from low-income families…keepin it real. Their family never get them an attorney they pimp there kids out to the labels and they get screwed. This is what’s happening to these band group. I love Diddy but he know these families will not go up against him in his lawyers so they just sign those contracts without reading them. Then the families start quitting their jobs, and thinking their kids will now take care of them. It’s sad because it happens all the time. This is why Q is stressin and can’t enjoy where GOD and his talent has placed him. Honestly, his mom should not have quit her job so fast. She should not place this stress on her child, she’s not allowing him to enjoy his passion and it’s not fair. He should be able to save the little money he will make when he does shows so when it slow down he will have something in his pocket.

Let me give you a personal example on how you get paid in the entertainment industry…I did the VH-1 Superbowl Bash in Tampa last month with The Fall Out Boys, Lifehouse and Rihanna. My paperwork still has not gotten process so my check is not in the mail yet! I know that for a fact because MTV called me today that they need me to resend them again for the 4th time. Now paperwork was done weeks before I left to go out to Tampa but they are still processing it. This is what happens when working with celebs and tv gigs. Payments take 30-90 days so if you don’t either have steady work or don’t know how to handle your money you will not make it in the industry. So you have to learn how to budget your money and pay your bills first. Now, if you have family in people coming at you they need money and you tell then you don’t have it of course they think you are telling them a lie. They keep coming at you with sad stories with hopes you would give in. But you can’t bring that stress with you on the next gig in this is what Q is doing. But this is the entertainment business. It’s not always GLAM. I see nothing has changed at Bad Boys Entertainment. I use to work for 4 years with them in 2 years with Arista and money was always late coming in. now with the recession…So, I understand what they are feelin. That is why I got out of the music industry. Let me tell you at first it was GLAM before the internet…If you worked in the industry way back then money was throwin around, people use to pay you for anything, I even had my own car to pick me up and take me around daily, I would just sign a car voucher…sweet right. When the internet came and got popular money starting getting tight in the industry. They never showed it on tv and that’s what you don’t see so going into the industry now you think it’s going to be like what you remember seeing.


Willie said it best last week on the show…they ain’t making it like people think. Yeah they are on tv and in the studio and staying in a great crib but their bank account don’t reflect it.

I just hope somebody please give Q a loan so he can give his mama some money. If not he is going to kill somebody because of the stress in pressure. Once again, he was the last person people think would behave that way.

Behind The Beauty:Chloe RTW Fall 2009

written by Brandy Gomez-Duplessis

Christie Brinkley and Brooke Shields were the inspiration for the eighties makeup and bouncy hair at Chloé RTW Fall 2009. Makeup Artist Charlotte Tilbury focused on eyes giving the models a bronze looked applied with a heavy handed eighties application. Tilbury used taupe on the lids, and chocolate and shimmering gold shade in the eye socket. Tilbury defined the cheeks and temples with a strong sweep of blush in similar tones. Eyelashes were curled and given a heavy coat of mascara, and on the lips she only applied a light application of balm and concealer to keep the look conservative.

What Makes LiLo’s Tanner Different

written by Brandy Gomez-Duplessis

Hollywood’s most famous “BAD GIRL” Lindsay Lohan has now jumped on the band wagon of branding herself. At least she didn’t do the typical clothing line like so many of Hollywood young it girls. LL decided to take another route and launch something that she really believes in…SELF TANNING. The self tanning mist is called Sevin Nyne which contains an active of DHA, caramel, gogi berry and chardonnay extracts. The mist contains SPF but is stain resistant and has a black coconut scent. The tanning result is instant but will take two to five hours to achieve the end look that will last for 4-5 days.

LL partnered with Lorit Simon’s who has been tanning Lindsay for some time now with her own top-secret self-tanning blend. Sevin Nyne website is set to launch in about 6weeks when products are available April 15th on Sephora.com and retail for $35.00

R.I.P. Heidi

Many of you all know that I was represented by the most amazing agent ever…Heidi and I met July 2005. As of yesterday I lost my angel to cancer. Heidi was a fighter she fought for me daily, she believed in me when many agencies didn’t want to since I was coming out of New Orleans. When I received a call last year that she had cancer I was heartbroken. But I knew first hand she was a fighter so I thought she was going to beat it. Well, yesterday I received the info that she left us, it was such a hard blow my entire day stop. I have not left the hotel since I received the news. I know she’s in a better place but it doesn’t make it easier to deal with.

Heidi…thank you for everything you will always have a special place in my heart…I LOVE YOU BUT GOD LOVES YOU BEST

Maybelline Lash Stiletto

written by Brandy Gomez-Duplessis

I finally purchased Maybelline Lash Stiletto, their new ultimate length mascara. I have been seeing the provocative ad campaign for the mascara and love the name..Lash Stiletto. So, I figure what not try it out.

What’s the secret…the grip and extended brush, the elastic formula stretch lashes to the extreme.

I did find the mascara to give the lashes some length but not volume. Just like the ad says, it does for the lashes what stilettos do for legs. Now, I am not sure if it’s the Pro-Vitamin B-5 formula conditioner but I like that it really does give that sexy black patent shine.

Girl Meets Gown

This special shows several brides on their search for the perfect wedding dress at one of Dallas’ largest bridal salons, Stardust Celebrations. We uncover the hurdles every staff member faces to make these picky brides completely satisfied on the most important day of their lives.

It is 1:57 am and text and emails are still coming in so I am freakin out that something bad happen. The first person that texted me early was my current bride, Scarlet. The first show aired around 7pm and the second I guess around 1am. I am so flatter that my brides caught the 2 second camera time I had on the new show on WE TV called “Girl Meets Gown”.

The world is small because another bride that was featured on the show, Nancy was also a client of mine some time back. I did her makeup on a photo shoot in Mexico. Look under one of my old blogs about Planet Beach in you will see her.

Ok going back to bed.
