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

she did with the Daily Style 
Squad? She showcases much of 
her work on social media: Ins-

‘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.
