A2 makeup artist
gives hot style tips
By DAILY STYLE WRITERS
There is so much more to
someone’s style than clothing.
Jewelry, shoes, hair and make-
up, to name a few, are all indica-
tors of personal style. Makeup
in particular, for both men and
women, serves as a higher form
of self-expression. The use of
cosmetics to enhance appear-
ance or disguise is dated back to
the times of Ancient Greece and
Egypt. From creams and oils, to
brightly colored paints for the
eyes and face, makeup is so much
more than a means to cover up
imperfections. It has the ability
to showcase a person’s mood and
personality, as well as artistic
talent.
Fast forward to 2016 — with
the rise of social media plat-
forms like Instagram and Snap-
chat, the popularity of makeup
has skyrocketed. With so many
new beauty bloggers, trends and
techniques, it’s hard to keep up.
For example, bold brows and liq-
uid lipsticks are in full force as
the most popular beauty trends
today. But how does one create
a bold brow? There are so many
options to pick from — think
tinted eyebrow gels, powders
and pencils. It’s all too over-
whelming.
To answer those questions,
The Michigan Daily Style Squad
talked all things makeup with
Ann Arbor’s best, Moriah Mierre
Martin — including a makeup
tutorial. Martin began seriously
experimenting with makeup at
the age of 20. So for all the stu-
dents still itching to get into
makeup, there is still hope.
What is even more inspiring
is the fact that Martin learned
by simply watching YouTube
tutorials. Watching the work of
beauty bloggers on a daily basis
and subsequently practicing to
gain a true mastery, Martin has
come a long way. As a freelance
artist, who travels from cli-
ent to client, she is stationed at
En’Fusion Beaute’ Salon.
Turning a passion into a full-
blown career, she has gotten the
opportunity to do makeup for a
range of clients and events. One
amazing experience in particu-
lar was her work on Rap Artist
Big Sean for Adidas’ #Imagined-
By series titled “One Man Can
Change Detroit.” Not only did
she manage to make Big Sean
look even more flawless, but
Martin describes the rapper as
“the most humble and genuine
person” she has had the oppor-
tunity to work with.
From working with model/
actor Shaun Ross, the first male
Albino professional model, to
being the featured makeup artist
at The Powerful Women’s Week-
end Conference last spring, held
in Ann Arbor yearly, Martin has
made the most of her talents and
her Michigan surroundings.
With aspirations to break into
the beauty industry even more
in the coming year, Martin said
her dream client would have to
be Queen Bey herself. Beyonce’s
naturally stunning facial fea-
tures would be any makeup
artist’s dream, so can we really
blame her?
For the tutorial, we asked
Martin to show us how to do a
natural, everyday makeup look
that incorporated some of the
popular trends we see today.
Michigan Daily style writer,
Hannah Sparks, turned model
for the demonstration.
Martin began with a blank
canvas, a.k.a. a face without any
makeup. This allowed Martin to
begin her work from scratch, in a
sense. Starting with some prim-
er, the beautifying began. After
Hannah was all set and primed,
the next step was applying foun-
dation with a beauty blender for
the best (and most natural) cov-
erage. Beauty blenders, other-
wise known as those egg-shaped
sponges, seem to be all the rage in
the world of makeup.
Post foundation, concealer was
applied, which started to make a
noticeable difference on Han-
nah, making skin look luminous
and perfect. The real MVP of this
tutorial was the contouring that
took place. It’s not what you may
be thinking though — no insane
Kardashian
contouring
was
done. Instead, Martin showed us
a way to keep it subtle, for every-
day wear. It’s amazing how far a
little contour can go. Using some
light, powder-based shadows,
she was able to give more struc-
ture to our model’s face. In addi-
tion to contouring, Martin used
a highlighter/illuminator that
made Hannah’s skin look bright
and dewy. The key is to place the
highlighter atop all parts of the
face that capture natural light, so
to amplify it.
Next came one of the most
important steps: the bold brows.
Turns out, it’s not as hard as it
looks. Martin sculpted Hannah’s
brows with patience and mas-
tery, all with a brow pencil in a
shade lighter than her eyebrow
hair. Bold brows really manage to
frame the face. Post brows, Mar-
tin quickly placed a light touch of
shimmering eyeshadow with a
swipe of mascara.
Finally, for the lips, Mar-
tin used a matte liquid lipstick,
which are also all the rage right
now (think LipkitbyKylie). The
shade was a mauvey brown color
and the matte texture was per-
fect to complement Hannah’s
shimmery eyes.
The complete look created was
a basic glam that can be taken
from day to night. With enough
patience, even the average Uni-
versity of Michigan student can
watch Martin’s techniques and
be able to recreate this go-to
glam masterpiece. Sticking with
a neutral palette, accompanied
by some shades of bronzy browns
to add depth, Martin created our
new go-to look.
With every answer to our many
questions, you could hear the
knowledge and passion behind
Martin’s words. Despite the
abundance of social media out-
lets available today, Martin says
she “constantly [tries] to research
and keep up with the latest looks
and trends as much as possible.”
Her favorite Insta-beauty blog-
gers are Makeupshayla, Nikki-
etutorials, Amrezy, Jackie Aina,
Desi Perkins, Lustrelux, Kilprity
and Renny Vasquez.
While she does keep up with
all the latest and craziest make-
up trends, Martin admits that
many of the huge trends have
become
borderline
extreme.
“Some of these trends have taken
it to another level with too many
unnecessary steps, making it
seem difficult,” she said.
When asked her thoughts on
highlighting and contouring, a
trend that has infiltrated You-
Tube and beauty blogs, Mierre
said the key to successfully con-
quering it is “one good contour
powder palette” and “a great
highlighter.” Her favorite line for
both products is Anastasia Bev-
erly Hills. However, she doesn’t
only rely on high-end makeup.
Martin
incorporates
both
high-end products as well as
more
accessible,
drugstore
items. Some of her favorite items
include NARS All-Day Luminous
foundations, Laura Mercier set-
ting powder, Anastasia Beverly
Hills brow pencils and contour
palettes and Too Faced Better
than Sex mascara. On the more
affordable side she loves, May-
belline Fit Me foundations, Nyx
micro brow pencils and brow
gels and ColourPop eyeshadows
lipsticks. Martin’s number one
tip for great makeup, however, is
not about which products to use.
“Great makeup starts with great
skin care!” she says, “When
you take care of your skin, your
makeup will look even better
and more flawless!”

makeup looks by Martin, or have
any questions about the work
she did with the Daily Style
Squad? She showcases much of
her work on social media: Ins-
tagram (@beatbymo), Facebook

based website.

‘Greek’ runs familiar
themes into ground
By LAUREN WOOD
Daily Arts Writer
The movie theater for “My Big
Fat Greek Wedding 2” is pretty
packed. We’ve gotten there a full 15
minutes before
the start time
and just man-
aged to eke out
a spot in the
front,
push-
ing past spilled
M&Ms
and
oversized bags
of
popcorn
being
passed
row
to
row.
The room is
full of parents
with sulky teenagers, kids run-
ning through the aisles or groups
of old lady best friends on a night
out. I’m home with my family for
Easter weekend, and we brought
my grandma.
I knew I was in for an interest-
ing moviegoing experience when
almost everyone in the auditorium
clapped along to the chain the-
ater’s catchy jingle. The crowd was
uproarious, and at times I won-
dered if the film had laid a laugh
track over its quintessential bits.
The original “My Big Fat Greek
Wedding” was a universal family
classic, so of course they’d produce
a sequel to draw in the masses.
Although it centers around the
overbearing and colorful Greek
culture in which the protagonist,
Toula (Nia Vardalos, “My Life in
Ruins”) attempts to build a life, the
original film has appeal for anyone
with aunts who are a little too loud,
cousins who get a little too drunk
and a family that holds onto tradi-
tion and loyalty a little too tightly.
The filmmakers have obvious-
ly had time to think about what
made the first film successful, but
the sequel uses these themes to
run the movie into the ground.
Immediately, about four different
storylines begin unfolding, and
the jokes that were unexpectedly
weird and funny in the first film
are stretched into oblivion. Toula’s
daughter, Paris (Elena Kampouris,
“Men, Women, and Children”), is
looking at going to college far away
and she feels silenced by her over-
bearing family. The grandparents,
Maria (Lainie Kazan, “Pixels”)
and Gus (Michael Constantine,
“Sirota’s Court”), find out their
marriage was unofficial and have
to remarry in an elaborate cere-
mony. Cousin Angelo (Joey Fatone,
“Rewrapped”) is apparently gay.
The original movie’s couple is hav-
ing trouble remembering the spark
that brought them together in the
first place, and at the same time
their daughter is finding love in an
unexpected Greek suitor. There’s
so much going on that I could keep
going, and I know I could map a
direct line between what moment
in the original inspired each of the
sequel’s jokes. The quasi-romantic
scenes are buried under the rap-
id-fire pacing of the film, and the
sweet sentimentality of the origi-
nal is lost in the overwrought and
John Legend-soundtracked con-
struction of the plot.
All of this somehow doesn’t
mean watching it isn’t an enjoy-
able experience, though. It’s pretty
infectious to be in a room of people
nudging each other every few
minutes and remarking on which
member of their own family each
line reminds them of. To my right,
my grandma has to take her glasses
off multiple times to wipe her eyes
after laughing so hard. There’s a
little old ethnic great-grandma
character who, much like my own
106-year-old Nana, keeps popping
out of the woodwork with pans of
baklava. The hilarious Aunt Voula
(Andrea Martin, “SCTV”) keeps
sharing way too much about her
various moles, rashes and out of
this world afflictions. It’s a carica-
ture portrait large enough to hold
a detail that hits home for most
watching, and so while the jum-
bled storyline and drawn out gags
make it a somewhat unbearable
watch, “My Big Fat Greek Wed-
ding 2” at least provides a few good
laughs and a somewhat amusing
moviegoing experience.
