Brazilian newspaper "O Globo" feature

Thanks to one of my followers on Twitter Christine Alves for letting me know I was featured in a Brazilian newspaper called "O Globo" today! She sent me this scan. Click for full size.


Thanks to one of my subscribers, Jenny, for the following translation on the part about me in the article:

The dynamics of the tutorials is similar. The make up artist start the video with a clean face and they show the look they´re going to make. Sometimes, one of the two eyes is already done to give an idea of what's to come. Along the next ten minutes they alternate their eyes between the mirror and the camera, while they show how to do a smokey eye, an innocent bride look or an exotic arabic make up made by the swiss-canadian from the channel MissChievous (<www.youtube.com/user/MissChievous>). The lack of topics is not a problem. The thickness of the eyebrows, the fleshy lips, the graduation, everything can become a class. Specially the requested tutorials that teach how to achieve a celebrity make up. Lauren, for example, taught how to make the Amy Winehouse look..."

Thanks so much to my readers for alerting me and helping me out with a rough translation!

    This article talk too about Lauren job and how she's famous and how some people follow her and some people have a professional education about make up and other people self-teaching, some brazillian anonymous or famous (like Juliana Paes) that teach too...

  4. Congratulations!

    I am Portuguese :) The article mostly speaks about the YT phenomena, specially of Lauren Luke. Below your picture, the part that refers to you says "MissChievous shows us her step-by-step of an intricate arab makeup".

    The paragraph that mentions you starts "The dynamics of the tutorials are similar. The girls start the video without makeup on and tell us about the look they will be teaching. Sometimes, one of the eyes is already done, to give us an idea of what's to come. For the following 10 minutes, they go back and forth between looking at the camera and looking at the mirror, while they show us how to do a killer smokey eye, an innocent bridal look, or an exotic arab makeup, like the self-taught Swiss-Canadian MissChievous".

    I can translate the rest of the article if you want. Just let me know :)

  7. Hi dear, I tried to translate the article. The first two paragraphs are here: (sorry about my english and, please, correct it):
    Lauren didn`t have many friends at school, is a single mother, used to live only with her son and her dog and sold makeup at ebay, til she began to use her webcam to show how to use the products. Two years later and some magic wands touches later she owns the biggest audience of UK Youtube, have had her videos seem by over 50 million people, write to the british newspaper The Guardian and launched, in july, the cosmetic products By Lauren Luke on Times Square`s Sephora, New York - they are avaiable on all USA stores this week. Lauren, 27 years old, still lives in the small town South Shiels, England, and proves the fairy tales can also be real on Youtube era. She also simbolizes the power of this democratic site among real women eager for tips from real people, in a friendly way. Lauren`s nickname is Panacea81 (81 is the year of her birth), and Panacea, in greek mitology, is the godess of healing. She began to post videos on 2007. Nowadays, her channel on youtube has more than 270 thousand subscribitions and Lauren keeps her own website www.bylarenluke.com. She`s not alone anymore at this kind of job: "do it yourself" makeup tutorials on Youtube pop with teachers with several ages, kinds and levels of knowledge - some (like Lauren) are self-taught; other are professionals like Kandee Johnson and Makeup Geek.
