The show was held in the Sensabaugh home, and featured the delicate yet sophisticated designs of Nha Khanh. The wives, joined by six professional models, sported the TEMPTU Signature Look, with different shades of AIRpod Foundation, Blush, and Highlighter. All makeup application was performed by our friends at Blushington!

After the show, all 125 guests were treated to a buffet of seafood, steak, and cotton-candy adorned drinks. Even with a professional DJ and a cigar station, the party was intimate and full of roaring laughter.

Guests, including the Dallas Cowboys, walked away with their own AIRbrush Makeup System and Sheer Berry Blush (perfect for spring!). The now infamous swag bag was also stuffed with iLuv headphones, Henri Bendel fragrances, custom Kendra Scott jewelry, a denim jacket, and gift certificates for laser treatments, facials, a blowout, a custom tailored shirt, and personalized stationary, among other tiny luxuries! It was one bag we didn’t mind lugging on the plane.

Check out some of our favorite moments of the night, in Instagram pics!

“People don’t make music videos like this anymore.” said artist Donald Simrock after executing the stunning makeup during a demanding 4-day shoot for Thirty Seconds to Mars‘ new music video “Up in the Air”.

Simrock, a master for powerful editorial looks is the Beauty Editor for Flaunt Magazine as well as a long-time friend of TEMPTU shared this exciting new video that really should be described as a short film.

Everyone knows Hollywood can make you or break you, so don’t be fooled by his warm smile- Makeup Artist Vincent Ford is no pushover. He’s taken his talents from the drama room to major red carpets. He’s also quite the celeb in the wedding world. Just ask his agent!

How did you get started as a makeup artist?

In college, during a theatre class, I started doing makeup for the cast and for myself.  I felt more passionate from the makeup work I did in that class than the major I was studying.  After I finished school, I decided to try a year of makeup school, and that is when I knew this was the career I was meant to do.

When was your big break in the industry?

I think my big break was when I started working closely with a fitness photographer and started getting my work published in national magazines.

When did you start airbrushing?

As a new artist, it was challenging to find paying work, so bridal was a great way to do what I loved and be paid for it.  At the time, every bridal trade show and magazine highly recommended airbrush makeup to their clientele.  To stay competitive, I decided it was a skill I had to learn.

What do you love most about TEMPTU products? 

I feel TEMPTU took airbrush makeup to the next level and refined it into products that not only work but are thought about from a professional makeup artist’s point of view.  I love the look of silicone foundation for beauty, bridal and even editorial work.  TEMPTU’s S/B line brought the best of what was only available in traditional mediums and progressed it into what is needed for today’s “HD perfection- obsessed” culture.

Any pro tips on airbrushing?

One of the biggest mistakes I see when other artists airbrush is their application speed.  Unlike traditional foundation, which you apply and blend away, [with airbrush] if you start to see it you’ve applied too much.  I tend to move very fast across a face with wide circular motions, stand back to assess the coverage, then build more layers.

What was your career defining moment thus far?

That was when I was finally signed to a makeup agency.  I felt like I had finally achieved a life long goal.

What is your favorite beauty look?

My favorite beauty look are well groomed brows, full lashes and a glossy pout.

Where do you find beauty inspiration?

My biggest inspiration are normally European fashion magazines, especially Italian Vogue.  I like the simplicity in beauty and feel European editorials have mastered that.

 What are the top 5 TEMPTU products that are always in your kit?

S/B Mixing Medium

S/B Adjuster Set

Airbrow Stencils

S/B Neutralizer Wheel

Dura Skin Palette

What is your most important makeup tool?

That has to be my favorite brush, which is a fluffy ponytail brush.  I use it to contour, highlight, powder and touchup.

Are there any new products you’re excited about?

I’m loving the latest felt tip eyeliners and the newer lash growth serums.

Are there artists whose work you follow?

Some of my favorite are Pat McGrath, Billie B and Scott Barnes.

If you were stranded on an island and you could only bring 3 items with you, what could you not live without?

Chapstick, my cellphone (even if there was no signal) and chocolate.

Who are your most respected fashion designers?

I’m loving Betsey Johnson’s and Marc Jacobs’ latest collections.

Which product are you always giving away or are people taking from your kit?

I’m always giving away my favorite lip glosses, because clients fall in love with them too.

 What do you predict will be the next hot trend?

Like the ombre hair trend, I feel women are embracing beauty that is not perfect.  So fuller bushier brows, less plumped lips and skin that shows texture.

What is your first makeup-related memory?

My mom using her black liquid liner for her eyes, and painting on fake moles to go as a witch, as I trick-or-treated as a child.

If you had to jet to your favorite place in the world in five minutes, what products would you pack and why?

Sunscreen so I can lay out at the beach longer, my sunnies to not be blinded by the glare and concealer to hide my dark circles.

This is the final week of TEMPTU’s Spring Makeover Sweepstakes, and for the grand finale we sat down with Lubov Azria, Chief Creative Officer of global brand BCBGMAXAZRIA, and this week’s Spring Makeover partner. Doyenne of fashion, avid art collector, and world traveler, Lubov shares her inspiration as well as her favorite trends for Spring.

What inspired you when you were creating the BCBGMAXAZRIA Spring collection?

The Spring 2013 collection was inspired by the femme fatale muses and high contrast of Helmut Newton’s black and white photography. A cool combination of work wear and lingerie is offset by sculptural leather harnesses, while fluid silhouettes, elongated proportions and weightless fabrics embody the seductive allure of the season.

What are the colors for Spring 2013?

Dusty Pinks, Chambray Blues and Grays, Black And Talc White; inspired by the weatherworn patinas and whitewashed structures along the New York coastline. 

What is the must-have item in EVERYONE’s getaway bag this Spring?

I can’t choose only one, it truly depends on where you are going. A pair of comfortable flats, and a bottle of SPF lotion.

What is the freshest piece for everyone to update their wardrobe  with as we move into Spring?

An easy, versatile asymmetrical dress like the Willow Asymmetrical-hem dress, that is great for when you’re on the go.

Do you have a favorite personal accessory?

My perforated envelope clutch!
