Julia Graf for Ringier

I am both proud and very excited to announce my partnership with Ringier Media Group. Starting immediately I will have my own weekly video series with Blick and Blick am Abend where I will feature makeup tutorials in German language.

You can click here to read the official Press Release Statement from Ringier.

For those who are unfamiliar, Ringier is an internationally active media publishing group, and the biggest media company in Switzerland. Based in Zurich, it publishes over 120 newspapers and magazines and has many online platforms, and passed 1 Billion Swiss Franks in sales (about 1 Billion USD) in 2014.

I am beyond thrilled at this new partnership. What does this mean for you? Well, nothing will change as far as my main channel is concerned, I will continue to post videos there on makeup, fitness, and lifestyle as you know it. 

You will, however, have the option of watching an extra video each week - in German language - on the Ringier websites like Blick and Blick am Abend. You can watch my first video online here. I'd be so happy if you left some comments there to show your support!

There's no way to subscribe to the video series like there is on Youtube; however, I will post a link to the new video each week on my social media channels like Twitter and Facebook, so make sure you're following me there to be notified. You can also head to the website each Monday, and my video will be found somewhere on the front page or on your mobile device.

Thanks to Ringier for offering me this wonderful opportunity, and I look forward to seeing you there as well as on Youtube!

Butterfly Fairy Makeup

I think this may be one of my favorite looks I've ever done! When I was at the craft store - a wonderful supply store for Halloween makeup videos - I saw these pretty butterflies meant for home decor, and I thought how great they would look incorporated into a makeup look!

Scary Vampire for Halloween

To kick off my Halloween makeup transformations this year I wanted to try a new Vampire look. Some of you might remember my first Vampire makeup from several years ago, which is now my most viewed video to date on Youtube. How awesome! Instead of doing the more typical red and black color combination for this one, however, I wanted to focus mostly on cool blues. I gave this look a different spin with the stylized veins creeping down from the eyes, and the witch-like razor sharp matte black claw nails.
