Glamazons,
You know I hate to pick favorites when it comes to makeup artists but if I did have to choose my ultimate fave, A.J. Crimson (above with yours truly and mogul Ashley Small) would be at the top of the list. I’ve known the talented makeup magician for years (since our days at The Magazine) and have enjoyed watching his career blossom before my very eyes.
A.J. has worked with such beauties as Estelle, Letoya Luckett, Fergie, Amerie and more! Wait, can we give a moment of silence for the fact that Letoya Luckett‘s makeup is always flawless? *pauses in reverence* Okay.
He also founded the popular lip gloss line, Kissable Couture, with Forest Whitaker‘s wife, Keisha. The cinnamon brown shade ‘Forest’ is a Glamazon Jessica staple!
A.J. is a genius at not only applying makeup, but developing products so it’s no surprise that he’s creating his own makeup line, A.J. Crimson. He actually gave Glamazons Blog the scoop on his makeup line back in 2010. It’s so inspiring to see that dream he shared with us years ago come to fruition!
He tapped his stunning celebrity friends as the spokesbeauties for the brand: his bestie Letoya Luckett,
Adrienne Bailon and Alexandra Burke.
All three look absolutely stunning in behind-the-scenes shots from the commercial with flawless skin (A.J. is a whiz with cream foundation and concealer) and bold red lips (ahem, for every skin tone!):
One thing I love about the “Beauty Is…” campaign is that it shows how the makeup looks on various complexions from deep brown to tan.
Check out a final shot from the campaign below:
Breathtaking, right?!
A.J. had this to say about his spokesbeauties: “I love these women! So beautiful, talented and humble. It’s great creating the new beauty revolution.”
Ooo beauty revolution! I love! Can’t wait to try out the line! His BB creams are already super popular. Check out A.J.‘s products on ajcrimson.com and stay tuned for the full line which launches next month.
What do you think of these ads and behind-the-scenes shots so far, Glamazons?
Kisses,
Glamazon Jessica
