Beat sessions with Mike

Welcome Artists!

I am your host Mike the universal artist and I invite you to join me as we explore the world of make-up and art. Join the party!

Be a part of the movement that breaks down societies ideals around how you should express yourself. Gender is a social construct that has conditioned us into believing that your outside appearance dictates who you are on the inside, which couldn’t be further from the truth, so join me as we shatter the glass of oppression expressing ourselves however we want.

2022 was a year of taking chances and being daring and I applied that to the many artistic ideas I had racing through my mind so, I’m going to share some of that art with you.

Come along with me on this journey as I explore the explosion of pigments from every artist dreams. Hues of blues, greens, pinks, and purples dance together like a perfectly choreographed ensemble.

Which is your favorite look?

The summer trend has been a natural to flushed look with a nude lip “simplistic” is the vibe. What are your thoughts?

For 2022 I created a how-to video for a subtle, yet very effective New Years Eve look. Check it out!

Sorry! This product is not available for purchase at this time.

There are no rules about how you represent yourself. My work is more an attempt to show a spectrum of myself rather than a certain way of behaving or looking.

I take pride in the fact that there’s a kid who’s living in, you know, Alabama, who never thought something like this was possible for him, almost to the point that he made life and career decisions to find some other thing he was passionate about. But all of a sudden, because I’m here, he knows [he can do it too].

VIRGIL ABLOH, OFF-WHITE

Great news for all of you people who don’t hate summer: Warm days are coming, and they’re ushering in a ton of fun new summer 2022 makeup trends that’ll have you looking forward to a heat wave. Yup, gone are the cool-toned eyeshadow and burgundy lipsticks of winter makeup—this summer’s vibe is all about pastels, bright neons, and dewy highlighted cheekbones that will be all over your Insta in a few months. So whether you’ll be putting on a full face for a night at home with your selfie camera (same), or for an actual IRL event (wow, so social), I highly recommend you start practicing these trends now. https://www.cosmopolitan.com/style-beauty/beauty/g39464860/summer-2022-makeup-trends/

Tips to help improve the health of your skin

  • Wear sunscreen – weather it is summer/winter, day or night the suns rays can be harmful to your skin, so give it that extra layer of protection.
  • Stay away from fried or greasy foods – whatever you put in is what will come out through your pores.
  • Moisturize day and night – your skin is a living organ that needs hydration; remember our bodies are 2/3 water.
  • Drink plenty of water – Like I said, our bodies are made up of 2/3 of water, so in order for your skin to stay firm, clear and supple, it needs plenty of water to do so along with a healthy diet, plenty of rest and exercise.

self-af·fir·ma·tion

[ˈˌself ˌafərˈmāSHən]

NOUN

  1. the recognition and assertion of the existence and value of one’s individual self.
https://psychologydictionary.org/self-affirmation/

If you’ve ever been on the receiving end of someone’s negative feelings towards you, then you know the feeling of being singled out or made to feel inadequate for someone else’s standards. Inside you may feel hurt, angry or even want to cry because let’s face it we’re human, we have feelings and emotions that can be hurt especially from those closest to us.

So, what do you do? Do we continue to allow ourselves to be torn apart piece by piece until there’s nothing left? or do we find the confidence within ourselves to know that we are good enough. We are smart enough! We are strong enough! We are “real” enough! We are beautiful enough! YOU ARE ENOUGH! We can’t let someone else’s ideologies dictate who we are, when in most cases the person throwing the daggers are dealing with their own internal battles that are causing them to release on you.

Start building back up what past traumas have torn down by speaking positivity into the universe with self-affirmations and the universe will speak back. Tell yourself how beautiful you are and that no one can tell you differently. Remind yourself that you didn’t make it to where you are right now because you’re weak, you did it because you wanted it, and nothing was going to stop you remember that. You are worthy of occupying the same spaces as everyone else so move right in and get comfortable. Allow yourself to feel good again slowly releasing the toxic energies causing you to feel bad.

I love you, care for you and wish you all the best so until next time Martians, keep soaring!

About Me

Greetings Martians,

In the journey to find myself I realized that I was drowning in a sea of others unrealistic expectations of who they thought I should be, until the day I realized that in order for me to walk the path of greatness in my life, I have to lay the foundation myself or continue to live in a shell of insecurities and regret. Well, I chose me and with every step I take it takes me one step closer to my dreams. You are uniquely you so follow your star to the universe of success!Read more
