That's an interesting idea.
Maybe you can make CDs and give them out to customers that buy over a certain amount etc...
I think it would be very helpful and ppl buying makeup for the first time would probably love the idea.

I'd watch to see if I can learn anything from them.

(I think you mentioned before that Binah charges too much for an ad? Does your city have a weekly Community Connections (Monsey), or Torah Times (Brooklyn) etc, because I'm sure they charge less for ads. Binah magazine has a international coverage of readers in addition to where you live, and I'm sure its not necessary for you to put in an ad so that people who don't even live in your city will see it.)

I have considered torah times, ut 1: does anyne lok there for makeup artists? and 2: I have found few eole wll pick me out of an ad if they have not heard of me before. thats why I'm trying to spread the nae and gain a reputation via these vogs.

if I did this would any of you ladies also be willing to forward them, post them on your facebook or twitter, ect to help me reach beyond my immediate circle of friends?

I know it souldn'tmatter but I'm afrad I may not be pretty enugh for flkst take me seriusly if do my ow face, but o one I have asked it willing to model for web videos. should use my own large but pleasant face anyway, and hope people aren't so shallowor keep model hunting? would yu hire a large makeup artist? I'm not being insecure, this is purely a question of marketing. be hnest, even if you wanna be anonymous

I would watch! If you do a good job no one cares how the artist looks or smells?

Listen, your body is your canvas, and you can't control that. I think it's more about what you do with it that makes a difference.

However, I can understand feeling uncomfortable taping yourself regardless of what your canvas is...

I will watch ,you have my word on it. I always watch u-tube clips of hair n face. And if I like your wrk then your hired.

Most ppl watching want to learn how to do on there own...but most cant. So for that special occasion they will hire you.

You can be obese as long as your outfit doesnt pull to much attention its fine. Wear solid colors n have a pretty model n your good to go.

I mean I would e my own model. I cant find anyone who would agree to be filmed so my own face would be getting the work. when I have a big doughy face there is only so much makeup can do. I'm not gonna look like cindy crawford ad if people are looing at my face as aan exampleof my work I'm afraid it might be a distraction

I too am obese and wouldnt model my product. Its okay to be in the ad but not the focal point. (I think) You want your ad to look its best and a thinner and fine face would be perfect. It would also look better if you do the clip on someone rather than on yourself.

Just my opinion.

I was afraid of that. I totaly agree ut none of my friends or family are willing to model for me. I already asked them all, so tis would make for looong waits between videos.

Maybe Jew in the City/Allison would model for you. She's pretty, she lives in the NY area, she likes to be on camera and she seems to like fashion and makeup. I'm serious...it's a thought. People seem to like watching her - I do!
