Hello from NYC...and Hip Hop


Mr. Robert Clivilles

Sooo, finally the MVP video is out and the new site is up and running. Here below is the original posting, the one that opened COMA. Check out the video by clicking the "video" icon on their website. Robert, Vice and Stagga, keep rocking! :-)

PS.: Most of the "takes" in the video are from the New York tapings, and hair guru Justin Cruz was the NYC hairdresser responsible for the looks. He busted his "derriere." You go Justin! He is at CUTLER/NYC, uptown.

Hello to you all and a big warm hug from the city of New York. COMA, Confessions of a Makeup Aritste, will begin to post today, September 22, 2005. News, incidents and accidents on the fashion and beauty world will be documented and gossimented on COMA, as experienced by "moi."

Keep an eye on the upcoming MVP video (www.mostvaluableplayas.com) taped in LA and NY. Robert Clivilles, Vice and Stagga rocked the house. We had a great time with all the extras and the mayhem...

•There was a scissor thief. The hairdresser's and mine disappeared.
•VICE was injected in the emergency room, a scene out of a David LaChapelle book, I can just see it.
•MS. LARACUENTE, stylist to the stars, had to call "Armour Services" to keep the clothes from growing "patas" (legs). What a hard-working woman!
•MARIMERCE, producer, style director and friend; I really don't know if she ever saw us. Were you with us Marimerce? Did you see us in LA?
•MakeUp magician JAVIER ROMERO and I went shopping and we "defalcated" (look this one up in a local dictionary in Guayama) Nordstrom Rack. There were "puyas," sneakers, cowboy shirts, Gucci glasses, or at least they looked it (right William?)
•And last but not least, we walked, crossed streets (walking), took pictures of our convertible Ferrari in Beverly Hills, hence, we were the weirdest people on the planet.

We really had a great time, until I left a suitcase filled with makeup on the sidewalk at the LA airport. Nonetheless, it contained the makeup for the Miguel Peña show I was to direct the next day at the tents in New York City. I finally got it, with a few fake eyelashes and a pair of scissors missing . There must be someone at the airport looking very Lady Bunny and stabbing people.

Best,Karlo.

De Compras - Part Deux. Lo que no cupo en Magacín.

Foto: Ivonne Carlo Photography    !Hola a tod@s y feliz año 2013!  Les deseo paz, amor, éxito, abundante salud... y que seamos mas comprensivos, empáticos... para así entender que no todo cabe un una pagina web. Por eso aquí les dejo con las imágenes y enlaces que no cupieron en el  articulo original " De Compras " por Larissa Vázquez Zapata , editora de Magacín . Espero les guste esta extensión, que es todo lo que se lee en cursiva. Karlo Karlo, maquillista puertorriqueño residente en N.Y., comparte sus gustos. Mis lugares predilectos para hacer compras: 1. El mercado de pulgas de Brooklyn ( enlace en articulo original ) . No hay nada que me fascine más que la amalgama de lo nuevo y vintage; la idea es combinarlas, que se seduzcan, así se enaltecen respectivamente. Entre el regateo y el eye candy, uno de los mejores pasatiempos sabatinos. 2. Florencia, Italia. En The Mall, ubicado en Incisa, Val d'Arno  ( enlace en articulo original ) . Un secreto en el

And they lived happily ever after, drank Bellinis (the signature drink at Cipriani) , danced amongst lovely and beautiful people with wonderful hearts at the "ritmo" of Marcelo Cunning, and above of all, they were happy to save lives. Here is the veredict...

The Making of a Romantic at Carlos Campos.

Carlos Campos' collection for this Fall/Winter 2012-13 is inspired in the romantic.  I'l keep you posted on his presentation this Sunday, February 12th at Milk studios (NYC), 3:00 PM.  But for know here's a glimpse of the grooming process, makeup by moi, hair by hunk Ramirez. What does it take to turn someone into a romantic?  How would you paint him? Sculpt him?   I've always believed that if you want to know whether a makeup artist is good or not, give them the test of grooming.  There's a certain sensibility, knowledge of color and undertones and finishing techniques that is required in order to make the makeup disappear.   The fantastic hair master Cesar Ramirez will be collaborating with Carlos Campos  this season, as always. Image by Luis Carle. It's about color 101 and being quite the observer of faces in their natural perfect state and painting them handsome, romantic. All products used by MAC Cosmetics. It shouldn't take much eff
