LOCAL MAKEUP ARTIST FINDS SILVER LINING
Recent loss fuels change for better makeup.
Local professional makeup artist, Debby Clements, has taken a new twist on traditional makeup. After watching her father pass away from colon cancer last summer, enough was enough. It was time for a change.
“My dad worked with chemicals, inks and dyes for over 45 years at a print shop and I always wondered if maybe this had something to do with his cancer. Then I got thinking, Hey! I work with all sorts of chemicals, inks and dyes, too! What are my risks? What are my clients‘ risks?”
According to recent studies, most traditional makeup products carry many carcinogenic chemicals like ascorbyl palmitate, parabens, talc, and almost all blushes, lipsticks and glosses contain dyes like FD&C Red #3, which caused human breast cells to grow, mimics the effect of natural estrogen at the molecular level and damages the genetic material of human breast cells. Many of these chemicals are even found in so-called mass market mineral makeup.
Ms. Clements worked months with a Canadian mineral makeup supplier creating a safer alternative of new colours, recipes and products that are deemed all natural, vegan and gluten free.
“I am so pleased with how the products turned out. I can now offer my clients a better solution than what’s currently offered on the market.”
And the masses are agreeing. Claudia, a local customer, has been her biggest cheerleader…along with many others and even customers overseas via their website www.happyhippycosmetics.com .
“I love my makeup. It stays on all day, doesn’t smear and feels so healthy. I really like how I can mix colours and be my own artist.”
Ms. Clements believes in doing good. She says it’s not just a business but a way to make the world a better place to live.
“I wanted a better way to look beautiful…not just for me but for my teenaged daughter, Avery… for all daughters. And I really wanted to make my dad’s horrible illness into a silver lining. I want to help others.”
Debby is currently offering free in home makeup lessons to all local cancer survivors/patients. She feels this is the best way to use her talents and skills to help others and continue on that silver lining and good karma.
“I love what I do. I make people look better…and feel better… in some of the worst days of their lives. I don’t want my dad’s death to be for nothing. There is ALWAYS a silver lining.”
Happy Hippy Cosmetics are available on the web and via home parties. Their products are dye free, preservative free, gluten free, paraben free, vegan, organic based, and all natural. If you are a cancer patient and would like to book a free makeover, please contact Debby at 1-855-Hi-Hippy.

How could anyone possibly get depressed living in a beautiful place like this? It's gorgeous weather all the time, beautiful gardens, wonderful beaches, restaurants...the list goes on. Anyways... yesterday we discovered exactly how "wonderful" the Miami sun can be. We spent the morning at the fantastic Miami Zoo (see pic of me feeding Giraffes... I want those eyelashes!!!) and then spent the afternoon nursing our burns. It doesn't take long here to burn, that's for sure. Sunscreen is not optional! Not even for just a few minutes. Know what though? My Happy Hippy foundation sure did it's job protecting my face from the rays... it has a natural zinc sun block... but now I'm red all over except for my face. 
Well... the groundhog didn't see his shadow because he couldn't get out of our five foot tall snow banks... so I guess this means lots more winter to come...lots of time to plan, dream and reorganize! Very much looking forward to all the wedding bookings this summer and seeing all these changes and plans into effect.

A talented makeup artist can transform a person into someone or something completely different, whether it’s for beauty, costume or just for the sake of art. Their hard work doesn’t go unnoticed, particularly in the movie industry, where the best are honored with awards such as the Academy Award for Makeup. Like with any form of art, it takes quite a bit of studying and practice to master the craft. The 40 makeup artist blogs listed below provide an abundance of information for those looking to enter the profession or just cultivate a challenging hobby.
