But what does the future hold for advertising? As the world of corporations and advertising charts its future, the search for new advertising venues goes on. Advertising has been very innovative in the past in finding ways to communicate promotional messages. As technology has evolved, it has revolutionized advertising techniques as well as changing the social landscape. There is no reason to suspect that advertising will not continue to reinvent itself, discover new media, and develop new techniques. Advertising as we know it may be at its end, but the culture of consumption is alive and well. contact MAMi Media at 856-637-2560 for more information on how we can help you deal with the fast paced advertising world.

BY J ES S I C A T U C C I L LO You’ve seen enough red carpet premieres in your lifetime (if only on the television) to know that the glamour and dazzle of Holly wood is no illusion. Seductive dresses, ravishing heels, cascading curls and million dollar jewels are just for starters, though. The real stars of the show are the flawless skin, the Cupid’s bow lips, the dramatic eyes, the accentuated cheekbones and, of course, an allover radiant glow. None of this would be possible without the help of Glo minerals, Located at the Oxford Valley Dental Excellence.

Achieving the look is surprisingly simple, even for novices or those who don’t normally stray from their standard look. While there’s nothing wrong with wearing the same colors ever yday, there’s also no harm in experimenting a little. You might just discover some exotic, high fashion m akeup styles and looks that are just perfect for you. All it takes is some confidence.

Glo Minerals, Exotic Spring , was an fusion of bright, wearable and fashion-forward shades inspired by the breathta king

beauty of nature’s most vivid colors, such as the sun and the sea. Glo Minerals fall collection, Play in the Darks, reminds women that there’s no need to be a wallflower all the time: A slick of vamp-like lipstick or a dark line of cream along the eyelid can create the best kind of drama. Clearly, 2009 has been the year of exotic makeup. That ma kes the process of achieving an ultra-glamorous look all the more possible, especially considering the innumerable looks just waiting to be created.

Whether you just want to tr y your hand at a new look or show off for a major event or special occasion, you’ll benefit from a few of these tips. You’ll need a selection of Glo minerals cosmetics to start out with. Grab the eye shadows, lipsticks, eyeliners, blushes, bronzers, lip glosses and mascaras that appeal to you. Many will likely already be in your makeup collection, but don’t be afraid to hit the spa and scoop up a few new finds, either. This look is all about taking chances and being a bit adventurous.

Bridal Makeup Moving to the Top of Your Checklist

By Lovisa II for iPro Makeup

Here comes the bride! That’s what all of your guests will be thinking when the music begins to play. Once they see you gracefully making your way down the aisle, the next thing on their minds simply should be how beautiful you are.

You ’ve taken the time to care fully choose the perfect venue, flower arrangements, gown, ac cessories, hairstyle, and even the perfect groom, all to make sure you have the perfect wedding. After months of planning, you know how important every detail of your special day is.

The finishing touch (but certainly far from least important) to your wedding day, adding to the beauty of it all, no matter how extravagant or simple your theme is, should be your bridal makeup!

Although it’s one of the last vendors you’ll meet with, your makeup artist should be at the top of your checklist. After carefully choosing the per fect photographer, every bride wants to look flawless. A great, professional ph otographer understands the significant

difference that having your makeup professionally applied will have on the outcome of your photos so see if they have any suggestions for you.

So, why is it important to move your bridal makeup to the top of your wedding day checklist?

Well, simply because every bride wants to look her absolute best, on and off camera. A professional makeup application should enhance your best features whether your eyes, lips, or cheekbones, and can also be used to minimize things such as blemishes and pimples. Additionally, your wedding day makeup should have you camera ready with minimum shine and a healthy glow if desired.

Your bridal makeup completes your look. Would you get married in an exquisite gown without having your hair styled? I’d hope not. Take a peek at your bridal catalogs. Notice how the brides look elegant, excited, and beauti ful with smooth, flawless, healthy skin, the way every bride should look on her special day.

• Prepare your skin. Your makeup will look more natural and flawless when applied to healthy, hydrated, smooth skin. Consult a professional to find a product line and skin care regimen that works best for your skin. Remember that stress may cause breakouts so try to keep your stress level low. It’s great to have a spot treatment handy for re lentless pimples the week of your wedding.

• Choose your look. Just as you did to find the perfect gown, look through bridal magazines or browse the internet to get an idea of what you’d like your bridal make up to look like (soft, fresh, smokey eyes, etc.)

• Begin your search. It may be easier to get a re ferral through friends but the internet is also great for finding vendors in your area.

Start with MUAs that have a website with images of their work, as this will speak to their professionalism and credibility.

• Request a consultation. Before you make your final decision, be sure to schedule your bridal makeup consultation. Whoever you choose should be someone you can trust. A consultation will allow you to experience what you’ll look like on your wedding day. It will also give you and your MUA a chance to get comfortable with each other and make proper arrangements such as time, location, etc. Your MUA should be willing to make adjustments if necessary to ensure your complete satisfaction. This may include but is not limited to re moving your makeup and beginning again with a different look. These terms and fees should be discussed before scheduling your consultation.

• All together now. Although many brides give their attendants the option of having their makeup done, I strongly recommend you ask your bridal party to have their makeup applied by your preferred MUA. Once again, you want your wedding photos to look exceptional.

Additionally your attendants will look great and feel more confident knowing they look fabulous. Most MUAs offer discounts depending on the amount of people they’ll be services. So be sure to consult with your MUA about special rates and arrangements for you bridal party.

• Book in advance. It’s never too early to consult with potential MUAs for your big day.

If yo u have your mind set on who you’d like to use, booking them a.s.a.p. is best to secure your appointment. Ask your MUA for recommendations about scheduling a convenient and appropriate time for a trial run and application the day of your wedding.

The Lexus LFA is a two-seat exotic sports coupe produced by Lexus as a concept car, “halo” vehicle, racing prototype, and production model. It is the second model in the F marque line of performance vehicles from Lexus, following the IS F. Three concept ver sions have been shown, each debuting at the North American International Auto Show with the LF-A designation as part of the LF Series concept line. The first LF-A concept premiered in 2005, followed in 2007 by a second LF-A with a more completely furnished interior and exterior. The third version of the LF-A, a roadster model, premiered in 2008.

The production model, trademarked LFA, was shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 2009.

The production Lexus LFA features a new V10 engine and a carbon fiber-reinforced poly mer (CFRP) body. CFRP materials account for 65 percent of the LFA’s body composition by mass. The LFA is scheduled to go into production in late 2010, with a projected run of 500 vehicles at the base price of US$375,000 . A circuit-tuned variant is scheduled for 2012.
