PERCEPTIVO MAGAZINE THE LEAK ISSUE WINTER 2011

The NEW CD available at mahasinonline.com

also available on iTunes

What is the purpose of Perceptivo Magazine? Our goal is to showcase the work of talented artist, photographers, illustrators, writers, designers, and models who are up and coming. We want to be clear and specific but do not want to entrap ourselves into a formulated template and become paralyzed in a state of arrested development. It is our hope to continually evolve with the trends and set new standards and become trendsetters. Also, Perceptivo Magazine will be changing faces every season, sometimes being conservative while other times being out of the box. We will regularly be accepting submissions of artist from all around the world.

So what you are viewing is a sneak preview of Perceptivo Magazine which we decided to call “The Leak Issue”. For this issue you will notice the minimal display of wording, simply because of the intent to exhibit the work of various

photographers, but fear not; in future issues of this magazine we will be featuring some exceptional writers who will be joining the team of this online publication. Perceptivo Magazine will be released three times a year, becoming a trimestrial publication, and it is our hope that this magazine will spread its wings and fly with the support of our readers.

We want to get noticed and become a voice in the artistic community, so please start tweeting, facebooking and bbm’ing everyone and help us spread the word about Perceptivo Magazine. Your input and feedback is more then welcomed. Thank you for reading and viewing Perceptivo Magazine.

WHO IS PERCEPTIVO MAGAZINE FOR?It’s for those who appreciate life.

RANDOM THOUGHT:

To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams.

6 Makeup Tricks To Transform Your Look NOW!

We’ve all seen and heard of head-to-toe makeove r s t h a t a r e so astonishing, all you can do is stare, mouth wide open, from the shock. But those usually involve new clothes, new makeup, a hairstylist, a personal trainer—and losing lots of weight. Sometimes, all it takes is a simple change to make a significant difference on your looks. These are my “radical change” makeup tricks to get you from now… to WOW!

1-Get your eyebrows in shape. A quick visit to a pro to get your brows waxed or tweezed can totally change your look.  Our eyebrows are the frame of our face and if they are bushy, unruly, or just shapeless it can make our face look drab and older. Yikes!! If you are tweezer savvy, get in front of the mirror and pluck out

those stray hairs to give your eyes a clean, polished and lifted look.

2-Line your eyes. This is an easy way to give your eyes definition and enhance the coloring. I like to line the inner rim of the eye with black liner for a sexy gaze and then smoke out the upper and lower lash lines with a softer shade like a gray, purple or copper.

3-Get your roots done. Many women, for lack of time, let their grays make an appearance. This is always a NO-NO. Nothing makes us look more disheveled and needless to say older that gray hair, so for an instant pick me up and for the sake of my eyes, please get your roots touched up!

4-Wear mascara. This give droopy-tired looking eyes a lift and you instantly look like you slept 15 hours!

5-Put on some lipgloss. In my perfect makeup filled world, this is a MUST. Even if I’m just taking my adorable pooches for a stroll, I put on a favorite lipgloss and I immediately feel glamorous and sexy.

6-Put on a smile!. Let’s face it, nothing makes us look older and frumpier than a sad visage. So, my final tip is to put on a happy face and let those pearly whites gleam from ear to ear! Not only will your mood improve, but you will walk taller and more confident all day. xoxo C.S.

It's a dog eat dog world out there especially in a industry that has to examine your beauty and your every flaw. The life of a real model is not all glitz and glam. It's the job of a model to portray the life of glitz and glam. The average age of a model is 16 years to 28 years of age. After that it is time to retire. Most models you see in magazines are part time. Some are students while others are musicians and others are just living with mom. And the life of a successful model is one of continual stress, deadlines, worries about weight, and fear of old age.

In order to be a successful model you must have more then just great looks and the height of a tower. I have listed some keys so you can acquire some knowledge of the trade. Not everything you will need to know, but just a few pointers.

1. First learn about the history of modeling. Get a clear understanding why the standard in the industry is the way it is. Did you know that over 200 years ago in England designers would show royalty and nobility new clothing on skinny models simply because they wanted to show how the clothing would look on a hanger. The shape of a model would be a distraction and take concentration off the clothing.

2. Do your homework! Learn about other models and learn who photographers, designers, publications, and agency's are. Lack of knowledge is guaranteed suicide.

3. Take a course in marketing. Learn how to market yourself. You are the product and everyone needs to know "why we should choose you".

4. Don't sell yourself short. Many models strive to get hired by GAP, Armani, Dolce & Gabana, etc. But before you do, there is the world of modeling without pay. Do tear sheets with publications that are known, not with some internet site that needs girls in bikini on bikes. Agency's will not be visiting those sites anytime soon.

5. Have confidence. Lack of it will mean that you do not believe in your self. If you do not believe in yourself... No one will.
