FROM THE EDITOR Welcome to the new; Facade Magazine. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long wait, but here it is, Facade. After running T&M Magazine for almost 6 years, it was time to put it aside, and create something better, and more inspirational. I got together with an amazing fashion photographer, Randy Tran, when I moved to Los Angeles 2 years ago. Randy was interested in helping me run T&M, until I had the idea to revamp and rename the magazine. I wanted to approach a different style of magazine and make sure things were more interesting and bring more social media to the magazine. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to introduce our online content as well, we are now including web editorials. Our design team has been working hard to transform something old, into something beautiful and new. We wanted something worthy of pinning to your inspiration boards either at home, or online. As always, we promise to still be one of your go-to magazines, for photos, video, interviews, and everything you want to know about fashion, and makeup for each year. Stay safe & Stylish! Maee

AN INTERVIEW WITH JEANNE GREY BY JULIAN FABRIGAS

Wow, 26 inch extensions? That’s something I wouldn’t expect considering your trademark blunt bob you have going on. But clearly being you has reaped its benefits. I still have pictures of how long my “hair” used to be! It’s crazy. It’s like two very very different people.

Chic and cunning, Jeanne Grey of greylayers.com is redefining the lady hustle. Being the tactful businesswoman she is, Jeanne tackles headstrong into her field of work showcasing a prime example of a self-built empire. Some would say a blogger’s success comes from looks alone, but for Jeanne, that isn’t even the half of it. Her eloquent charm paired with brains and a laser-focus mindset help separate herself from the vast sea of bloggers; She instead, has rather established herself as a businesswoman. Having only established her brand name in 2013, Jeanne continues to expand her identity across the globe showing up in all the google search boxes. Although where she started is not exactly where most would expect. With a humble beginning, Jeanne shares with us the obstacles she faced in her pursuit of success in the blogging industry, while remaining loyal to her individuality and to her followers.

I can just imagine. But obviously you’ve come a long way since then, and some might say you’re a big deal now. And with every big thing has their small beginning. Would you mind sharing with us what yours was like? Especially considering you grew up in Jersey, did that have any kind of influence on you growing up? I still have a long way to go! It never feels enough to be honest. I started out doing #ootds in brick alleys, over filtering my photos, and the hardest part: Just not knowing myself enough to know what I’m going after. I took a good few wrong turns. I thought I loved modeling so I just took any modeling job out there (aka scams which led to tons of issues). I later realized that I still wanted to be photographed, but while still being my own boss. Blogging happened to fit that role. I then jumped from one job to another while in college to fund my #ootds and such. A lot of my jobs after college wouldn’t accept that blogging was something I was passionate about and eventually let me go because of it. Regardless, you learn from all the experience and begin to find yourself. The best part though: You start accepting things anyway and just be boss through it all. As far as Jersey goes, it never really had any impact on me since I live about 4 minutes away from New York City. It was more of my culture that had an impact on my work then and now. Being raised in a Filipino household, the culture is that of a tough one and quite traditional. So It was always hard being the black sheep for loving something other than nursing or med school and actually had the drive to go after their passion.

You’ve become somewhat of the avant-garde of the East Coast blogging scene right now. You’re making a splash around the internet with your chic modern style; What would you say was your main key/recipe for success up to this point? That’s such a compliment! Thanks for that. I’d have to say it’s switching from different styles of blogging, and I guess one would say “modeling” while glancing over other people’s work to see what the next successful hit is, and bringing in ideas unconventional ideas. From there, I decided to just be myself, to be my own my persona, to take off my 26 inch extensions and skimpy dresses that every other girl wore in exchange for the edgy trousers I’ve secretly always wanted to rock. Turns out people loved the real me just as much as I did. So I’d say the recipe to success is owning what you’ve got and being yourself 100% throughout the ride.

FEATURE Ah definitely. Parents will be parents after all. Speaking about med school, it’s come to my attention that you actually were part of that field originally. What would you say played the largest influence in the shift of careers? Did you ever end up leaving school to chase your blogging career? And most importantly, how did your parents react to your decision? I did go to Nursing school and then received an associates degree in General science which then was used to progress into getting my Bachelor’s in Healthcare Management. Surprise, surprise. So I never really left school. It was the hardest 4 years of my life: Going to a place you didn’t have any drive to go to, sitting in a room listening to microbiology and health finance all the while as I sketch dresses and handbags in my notebooks instead. It was torture. But I promised my parents that I wasn’t just out to finish college, but earn a degree they were happy with at that. So no, I never left school and I do have two healthcare and science degrees. However after college, it was all me. It was my time to go after finding myself, finding my passion and working on that. We’re only given one chance to make use of our potentials, I’m not here to waste it on someone else’s dream again.

That’s very impressive and admirable of you.Things have obviously worked out in your favor though. You are now a brand ambassador, marketing coordinator, creative director, etc; A Jack of All Trades. How exactly did you gain all the experience after spending time in the medical field? I’m sure drawing in such a vast amount of knowledge/experience wasn’t an easy task. We can only try to be right? Well, I’ve always loved the industry and just plain fashion itself. Growing up around my mom who used to be a huge fashion designer in the Philippines really made me into who I am now. Growing up surrounded by models and runway shows at 5 years old, photography, magazines, running around with her shopping for new trends and going to trade shows as young as 9 years old has built fashion into my DNA. Marketing what I know and marketing myself came in easy. Both my parents were business minded enough to instill in me the influence as I was growing up. This influence was sewn and combined with fashion which helped me into what I do today in the world of social media.

That definitely explains your flawless posing. I knew it had to come from somewhere. You’re always so good in front of the camera! Haha aw thank you. half the time I’m sure I look like a twig or some awkward animal. My photographers are amazing at telling me what to do too so I can’t take all the credit (Randy and Denisse) It’s a definite two way street and everyday we’re always learning something new. When looking at your blog, I can see you take a lot of pride in being a business woman. But unfortunately there’s a stigma around women in business, although that has changed drastically given the whole rise of the feminist movement. Among the many projects

FEATURE

you’ve done thus far, have you encountered any obstacles in your field of work? I am fortunate enough to say that no, I haven’t had any encounters or obstacles because of that. I feel that in the world of blogging, female bloggers have more of the stronger grasp on things that men. I’m not bashing male bloggers at all by any means, I just feel that the audience overall is just more drawn to female bloggers. Which is why I guess there is so much of us in the business and so little of the males in the blogging industry. That’s good and very fortunate you haven’t. It must especially be an empowering feeling knowing you have the edge in this industry as well. But speaking of empowerment, you recently started up this project called BrainBabes. Can you tell us a

little about that and how it got started? Women definitely have the upper hand in the blogging industry, although many will disagree and that’s respected. While women are more progressive in blogging, they are become as catty and competitive as well. We need more women to empower each other and want to help each other grow instead of belittling and bashing one another. This is why we made BrainBabes. Denisse, my resident photographer and I started it to help women who want to become bloggers start up, and for those who are already in the industry, polish what they have going on! We are here to genuinely not only make your blog shine and image shine, but BrainBabes is here to remind us that we become more than just ourselves when we link up. We become a team of boss babes.

FEATURE

That’s seriously amazing, Jeanne, and that’s a wonderful project you got going on. I’m sure the people just keep reeling in don’t they? Yes! It’s super exciting! We already have a full house for our first workshop on February 21st!

Seeing younger girls find their purpose and passion and just plainly go for it is an inspiration for me to continue what just doing what I love to do too! I only wish to continue waking up the same positivity in me in others. No amount of money can ever measure up to that!

Oh man, maybe I should’ve signed up too. It seems pretty cool to be a Brain Babe! It’s not just for women but for anyone interested! We have barbers coming in and small business owners which is so rad! You should come when we do our next class in LA in the spring.

So for our last question, what words of advice do you have for the dreamers and future Brain Babes out there? You can never be successful by being someone else. Find what you love, make tons of mistakes but make sure to learn not to make those twice, and most importantly, love yourself because then and only then will your successes begin.

I’ll definitely check it out! So aside from this project, you are already doing so much: blogger, marketing, even community work with BrainBabes. You’ve become a role model to many out there. How does it feel to know you’re creating such a positive impact on others? I think this is the most rewarding part of my career.

the common make up myths BY MAEE KROFT

“darker founda- “pumping your tion makes you mascara gives look tan” your more Choosing a foundation colour that product” is too dark for your skin tone only makes you look like you chose the wrong foundation. For real results, always match your foundation to your natural skin colour. If you want to look a little more tan than you are, try a light dusting of bronzer – just don’t overdo it or else you will look like you have a foundation line on your jaw.

“make up causes breakouts” This is not actually true. Improp-

er hygiene causes breakouts. Things like falling asleep with your makeup on, not cleaning your brushes often enough, and not knowing when to throw out old products will all cause those acne blow outs. Make sure your face is clean before applying makeup and never sleep with it on; Proper skin care is the foundation to flawless makeup application. Wash your face before you apply any makeup and make sure to wash it off at the end of every night.

This does not work, and in my opinion, is one of the worst makeup habits women have. Pumping your mascara will only introduce air into the tube, forcing bacteria in and trapping it inside the tube. The inside of your mascara tube will become the perfect habitat for bad germs to survive and reproduce. This habit can lead to nasty eye infections and can even cause the mascara to dry out and break down faster than it normally would. A better practice would be to make sure you are replacing your mascara every 30 days. Another good habit I tell my clients is to use disposable mascara wands, to never double dip the brush, and to never share your mascara with friends.

“there is no need to clean your brushes if you are only using them on your own face” Brushes are a breeding ground for bacteria.

If you are the only person using your brushes you should still be washing them at least once a week. I use the same shampoo I use in my hair to wash my brushes. I also clean them afterwards with 75% alcohol. Proper brush care will allow your brushes to last for longer periods of time, and will prevent you from constantly wiping bacteria onto your face.

“match your foundation to your jawline, wrist, or cheek”

“mineral makeup is better/safer because minerals are natural.”

Guess what, ALL makeup is made of minerals. Mineral pigments are what give makeup products their colour. What many people don’t know is that mineral makeup might contain other ingredients harmful to sensitive skin and can even cause cystic acne (ie; bismuth oxychloride). It’s important to read ingredient listings carefully before using any of these products. Especially if you have an existing skin condition because even mineral makeup advertised as “good for you” can end up being harmful.

Actually, you should be matching your foundation to your neck. It’s the best indicator of your natural colour, and allows for the best blending when you apply.

Aisha Lopez I L L U S T R A T I O N S

AN INTERVIEW WITH AISHA LOPEZ BY JULIAN FABRIGAS

New Jersey based fashion illustrator Aisha Lopez likes to make moves. Having lived on both coasts of the states, Lopez detests remaining complacent and strives for improvement. She is constantly on her grind, and continues to cultivate experiences that enrich not only her craft, but her character as well. Within each of her pieces, she mirrors today’s trends and lifestyles – commentating on a generation of ever-changing fashion and drawing personalities from the world she sees. Lopez specializes in bold seductive line work that adorns the underlying meaning of her illustrations. Although her pieces may have strong defined curvature, she still manages to keep a soft polychromatic touch which radiates an intimate essence. Reeling in experience from multiple other fields such as costume design, hand-made jewelry, and other accessories, Lopez incorporates her artistic knowledge into her already ethereal illustrations, providing artwork with great depth. For those who may be wondering, how would you describe the life of an illustrator? As an illustrator and designer working freelance, the first thing that comes to mind is that it isn’t easy. It’s one thing enjoying illustrating or designing at your leisure, or for a class assignment, but it’s another thing to try and earn a living from it. One of the first things I’ll say is that to be an illustrator you truly have to have the drive and passion for it. It’s cliche and overused, I know, but there’s a reason why that’s so. First of all, you have to get your work out there. I happened to be lucky enough to have gained a following a couple years ago when my fashion illustration blog was really hitting it off. You also need to have confidence in yourself and in your work. That’s earned through dedication. Have you ever heard of the book, “The Outliers” by Malcolm Gladwell? One of my favorite chapters in the book is called 10,000 Hours, or something like that. It goes on to say that in order to become an expert at anything, you have to dedicate 10,000 hours to it. That’s a real number, not just a figurative one. As I’m

sure you can guess, it’s all about the practice – the work ethic. In order to become great at anything, you have to keep practicing. Being naturally talented is only a small percentage of success. Whoever puts in the time and dedication to it will inevitably rise to the top. Personally, I draw every single day, whether it’s a large project or a doodle. I’m constantly experimenting with my work as well, as I’m not solely just an illustrator: I’m a designer and a stylist too. I find that by experimenting and trying other forms of art, you can improve your main medium. I always try to push myself creatively to look at my own work through different perspectives. I believe that’s the best way to progress as an artist, illustrator, or anything for that matter. So to sum it all up: Life consists of thousands upon thousands of hours of nonstop grinding, practice, and perseverance in your craft? That, and experimentation. You have to keep yourself inspired and really push your limits. That’s how I think, anyway. I don’t want to stay static.

FEATURE

In your experience thus far, what kind of jobs have you found yourself doing? My first real gig was working with a designer named Jac Langheim. She worked primarily with latex. I started out as her first intern so I was able to see her business grow. It was fairly exponential, considering she was unique in that she worked with rubber. Eventually, she took me on as her official illustrator. I also worked in the design and construction aspects of her business. One of the most exciting pieces of work I had the opportunity to work on was for Lady Gaga. We created an outfit for her to wear as she performed her songs on Saturday Night Live. It’s really something, working on an outfit for a celebrity one hour, then seeing it live on television the next. I remember sitting down in front of the tv, watching her perform but watching her wear something I’ve worked – It’s a real high. I remember thinking to myself, “All the sweat, the lack of sleep, the bleeding fingers, amounted to this moment – and it was totally worth it.” Other than that, I normally work with various streetwear brands requesting illustrations or designs to include in their lines. Sometimes they’ll ask me to illustrate their clothes for them to display. From time to time, I also do murals. I have a huge piece at a popular hookah bar that I did last summer. I have another large painting coming up that’s going to be displayed at a barbershop.

I’ve also done custom designs where I’ve actually made accessories, outfits, or costumes for people. My last major one was a Poison Ivy costume for a model to wear at NY Comicon. It was different from my normal illustration buzz and a bit of a challenge. But I loved it. I also do a couple photography jobs and photoshoots, either assisting or styling. I like to get my hands in everything; there’s always an opportunity to learn something new. You definitely have had a lot of work. But that’s good though, your artwork is real sick after all and all the experience only hones it further. As you’ve stated with the Poison Ivy costume and other custom designs, you’ve progressed into a more 3-dimensional realm. How did that all start? I’ve known how to make clothes for a very long time, it was just never my focus. I’ve always been more passionate about the illustration aspect of design. It’s only just recently that I’ve gotten around to focusing on the 3D plane. Maybe it’s because I’m ready to push myself further and take my style/aesthetic to new mediums

FEATURE Looking back at your work, how would you describe the evolution of your art? I remember always being into drawing as a kid, but one of the first things I remember practicing consistently, I swear, was Pokemon. That was my segway into anime. I’ll admit it, I was a nerd, but that was my central focus in my drawings as I was growing up. That led me to practicing comic-book clean lines. I was developing a very important skill at the time and I didn’t even know it. One of the things I love most about my illustrations is my linework: creating smooth, flowing, beautiful lines. That carried on throughout high school. At that time, my main focus was on drawing people. I practiced every single day for hours after school. When I began to consider fashion design as a career, it all kind of just fell into place. I love to design clothing I’d put on characters. I was already sewing because I actually used to cosplay back in the day. By the time I was in college and more exposed to the fashion world, my style began to change. I was constantly drawing fashion figures, so of course it reflected onto my personal work. My drawings became more high-fashioned. As I kept developing, my work began to take on a more urban, ready-to-wear, streetwear vibe. And, as you can tell, I always draw girls. I can draw men too, but I just find women more fun to draw. There’s a lot of other artists that exist that are like that – Audrey Kawasaki, Charmaine Olivia, Erik Jones to name a few. I guess I can identify more with my work in that way. Whenever I create these “girls” of mine, they represent a part of myself that I can only convey in the form of a visual drawing.

You’ve obviously come up with a distinct art style unique to your hands and it clearly shows. What does your art mean to you, especially after cultivating such an original style? I’m a firm believer in the idea of art as visual history. Looking back at artwork from a certain period in our existence as humans, you can see how artists have pretty much documented the feel of their time; their beliefs, their culture and lifestyle. I’ve always thought, “What are they going to see when they look back on art from my period in time?” Through my illustrations, I want to write my own part of the history book. Add my own commentary on my generation. My girls are tattooed, smoking more often than not, and tend to convey a sort of mystic or rebel for the most part. That’s kind of a weird mix, but definitely up my alley. It’s not just about putting a sort of self-portrait on paper through my girls, but a commentary on our current fashion-mind set as well. Bouncing back and forth between the East and West coast. In what ways has that influenced your career considering the two coasts lead rather different lifestyles? It definitely slowed it down. My fashion blog was prosperous when I left for the west coast for the first time. I was steadily building my following. I went to the West Coast to continue my fashion design studies, but adjusting to living on the west coast definitely wasn’t what I thought it would be. I learned quickly that there is a definite line between east coast culture and west coast culture. Everything is a lot more laid back over there. Over on the east, there’s a lot more hustle and bustle. After awhile I decided that I was definitely too much of an east-coaster to stay there. After having lived and experienced New

York City, nothing else really compares. (No offense, of course haha) What’s your little routine to get yourself pumped up for a piece you’re about to work on? And what do you do when you face artist block? I brew myself a hot cuppa coffee, put on my M-50 headphones, and play music from SoundCloud to get myself pumped for my piece. When I face artist’s block, I’ll just focus on something else for awhile. Designing jewelry or headpieces, planning a shoot, photography, or reading. Then I come back to illustrating feeling refreshed from having exercised my creative abilities in a different way. What would you say is the most rewarding aspect of being an illustrator? Being told by a fan that I’ve inspired them. My main goal in life is to inspire and be inspired. It’s so important to me that I have it tattooed on my left wrist, above my drawing hand. I think it’s one of the best things to have in your life, inspiration. Whether it’s art, a career, a hobby, or person, whatever. Inspiration gives everything you do meaning, whether you’re giving it or receiving it. I’m just glad that I can pass on my vision to other people and stir something in them because of it.
