Movies are a form of escapism for me. I pop into a cinema
for a couple of hours and totally immerse myself in the sights, sounds, and
storyline of whatever is showing. And if I fall in love with a movie, I would almost
always watch it a few more times and then avail of a copy so I could always relive
its magic.
Movies are also a great source of beauty inspiration. Try
watching ‘Memoirs of a Geisha’, ‘Gone with the Wind’, “Lord of the Rings”, and
‘Young Adult’ to see what I mean. After all, makeup in the cinema world is
critical. It helps actors and actresses convey characters more faithfully.

As a movie buff and a beauty/lifestyle blogger I thought that
this would be a wonderful opportunity for me to combine my two loves: movies
and makeup/beauty. After all, I have been inspired time and again by the looks an
actress would sport onscreen. So, it is with much excitement that I’m including
this ‘series’ in my blog. I decided to call it “Reel Inspiration”. I guess the
play on words is self-evident. J
So, how does this series work? Well, to begin with, I will be
featuring some of my favorite films (old, slightly new, and new). In keeping
with my mindfulness mantra, I’d include my personal thoughts and a critique of what
I liked (and didn’t liked) about it AND a beauty/makeup look inspired by the
film. As I've gotten older, I've found that my tendency is to go back to my “old
reliables”. Hopefully, this exercise
would shake me from my doldrums, stretch my limits with colors, and see how new
color combinations work (and don’t work).
I’m very much open to suggestions, movie and look-wise. And
if anyone out there wants to share a movie, please, do so. I would be most appreciative.
Cheerio!
