Justine Skye Shares Makeup Tips, Lash Spots & What It Was Like Working with Tyga February 4, 2015 Justine Skye Shares Makeup Tips, Lash Spots & What It Was Like Working With Tyga At just 19, Brooklyn babe Justine Skye has made quite the impact. Between her debut EP, Everyday Living and her newest single with Tyga, she is destined to go nowhere but up. Justine truly embraces what the modern day super star is all about. She’s young, smart, beautiful and has a social network to match. We had a chance to get some style and beauty tips from the goddess herself. Read our interview below. It seems you give tons of advice through your Tumblr! Literally, you are kind of like the perfect self-help book that randomly includes beauty and fashion advice. How has Tumblr allowed you to connect to your fans? I feel like Tumblr is the greatest platform for me to truly express who I am via the internet. I personally feel like “Who am I giving someone else advice? I need some myself!” But it really makes me feel like I’ve accomplished so much when I hear a person say, “Thank you, you helped me out a lot” or “I’ve never thought of it like that before.” It makes me feel a lot closer to my unicorns, and it also lets me know that I’m not alone in any situation – I’m not the only one who feels like this or went through a similar problem. I feel like no matter how much I grow and progress in my career I will always speak to my fans through Tumblr. How would you describe your personal aesthetic? My personal aesthetic is edgy, sexy, vintage, and even a bit spiritual. I live in a creative space and I feel like that’s what makes me cool and relatable. I’m young so I’m constantly changing. I’m still figuring out who I am, but what has remained the same is my overall vibe and that definitely shows in the way I dress, my style of music, and my personal aesthetic. I’m a free, R&B, magical unicorn spirit who’s sprinkling her magic all over the universe! Does your personal style influence your music? And vice versa? My style definitely does influence my music a lot, and vice versa. I wear a lot of dark colors – it’s very rare I’m dressed super colorful even though my hair is purple. The dark colors can be seen oozing throughout my music. Most of my records have a sort of dark, sultry vibe to it. I’m super emotional lol. What is your go to performance makeup look? My go to performance makeup look is pretty complicated, lol. I’m not sure if I know exactly what I’m doing when it comes to makeup; all I know is that people seem to like it! First I start off by using Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 Illuminating (Bronze Radiance). Then I do my eyebrows using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz Pencil – Ebony. Then I go to the eyes… I use MAC Soft Brown Matte eyeshadow, MAC Corduroy Matte eyeshadow & MAC Twinks Veluxe Pearl eyeshadow. Then I use NC50 Select Cover-Up as a conceder to cover up dark circles under the eye. Then I use NYX Jumbo Eyeliner – Black Bean. I use MAC Studio Face and Body Foundation – N9 on the rest of my face (lightly). MAC Studio Fix Powder C9 to highlight certain spots (under the eyes, chin, forehead). MAC Studio Fix Powder NW50 to give a matte look for the rest of my face. For blush I use Laura Mercier Lush Nectarine. Finally I use Laura Mercier Golden Mosiac Shimmer Bloc Bronzer to give my face a bronzy look. Opening Ceremony sweater, D&G skirt & fur jacket from Gabriel Held Vintage. How do you keep your skin clear after a long and sweaty performance? I use the Clinique 3 Step face wash, astringent and lotion twice a day. Tips to achieving healthy hair like yours? I wouldn’t say I have the healthiest hair due to all the bleaching and dying, but I keep it from being damaged by using Wen Cleansing Conditioner. You are from Brooklyn! How has growing up in NY influenced your style? Growing up in Brooklyn has definitely influenced my style – it’s given me this super edgy, relaxed vibe to the way I do everything. Whether it’s music, fashion, or just my physical being as a whole, you can tell I’m a native New Yorker. Now that I’m visiting all these new places it really brings to my attention how much of a Brooklyn girl I am. Secret to your sultry lashes? I go to this dope place in NYC called Bling Lash, I don’t normally give my secret away but for you guys I’ll let it slide lol. What was the best part about working with Tyga? Being very new to the industry, you never really know how other artists will perceive you. I feel like the coolest part about working with Tyga was that he was willing to give this new artist from Brooklyn a chance. He’s super humble and always has positive things to say. He sort of made me feel welcomed into the music industry by hopping on my track. If you could only use one lipstick forever, which one would it be?! Honestly I don’t think I could choose ONE specific favorite lipstick…I don’t wear “lipstick” much anymore. Something that I do wear daily on my lips that I can’t live without is MAC Creamsheen – Delight. You tweeted that you HATE BRAS. How does a girl overcome fear of being braless? Truly accepting your body and yourself…I get that they’re sort of necessary for some women, but I feel like you should ultimately do what makes you comfortable. Moschino t-shirt, Fendi Pants, Versace Jacket & Moschino purse, all from Gabriel Held Vintage.

While recording early demos, Skye poured her energy and time into her Tumblr page, where her purple-tinted hair, brightly hued lipstick, and cool girl persona earned her thousands of notes and a massive following. It was on this social media platform that Skye honed her all-important personal brand as The Purple Unicorn—an approachable, around-the-way girl—and started introducing her downtempo R&B music to a captive audience of Tumblr friends. But it wasn't until the past year and half that Skye, now 19, started really building buzz as a velvet-toned R&B singer IRL. On the strength of her homemade songs and commanding online presence, Skye signed with Atlantic and released Everyday Living, a seven-track EP full of simmering, lovelorn tracks, in the summer of 2013. Last fall, she dropped the DJ Mustard-produced "Collide," featuring Tyga. As her first major label release, "Collide" finds Skye delivering slithering vocals and come-hither lyrics over Mustard's tinkling track. Even though she's backed by a major label, Skye remains active on the Tumblr page that birthed her fame, where she treats her hordes of followers to a mix of puppy GIFs, beachside selfies, and well-manicured middle fingers. This scrollable, visual diary still serves as a place for Skye to engage with the audience that's been tracking her growth from loner teen to polished recording artist. Though she's been kicking it with a gang of cool kids that includes Willow Smith, Ian Connor, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, at the wide-eyed age of 19, Skye's awkward high school days aren't that far behind her. The FADER spoke with Skye about the dynamics of social media fame and how the internet helped her to come into her own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AgYGrXxEIg Lets talk about the purple unicorn. Where did this name come from? I was in the studio one day, we'd just finished recording and the band was like "This is magical, you're like a unicorn." I was like, wow I am a unicorn. After that I just stuck with it, and changed all my screen names to the Purple Unicorn. This is me, I am magical and I want to spread my magic. That was about a year ago. When did you start playing with your image and dying your hair purple? The purple hair started when I was 16, after I left high school and began home school. My mom took me out of school because I started to focus on my career. I feel like that was the start of my transitioning into the confidence and being able to experiment and try new things. So it started off with just the tips of my hair, then the bang and then one day i came back it way up here, then I came back and it was all the way up here. I feel like purple really has defined who I am. So what was high school like for you, before you started recording more and getting full time? Well, my first day of high school I got into a fight with a girl over a boy.

Kyriakides This working paper is based on a presentation delivered at an academic event held on 18 November 2020, organised by the School of Law of UCLan Cyprus and entitled ‘60 years on from 1960: A Symposium to mark the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Republic of Cyprus’. The contents of this working paper represent work in progress with a view to formal publication at a later date.1 A photograph of the Press and Information Office, Ministry of the Interior, Republic of Cyprus, as reproduced on the Official Twitter account of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cyprus, 16 August 2018, https://twitter.com/cyprusmfa/status/1030018305426432000 ©️ Klearchos A.

At the moment when the Constitution of the Republic of Cyprus (‘the 1960 Constitution’) came into force in the English language at around midnight on 16 August 1960, it stood on British colonial foundations, which were cracked and, thus, defective.

  • Robotic Grasping and Manipulation
    Chapter 1 Robotic Grasping and Manipulation In this chapter, we consider problems that arise in designing, building, planning, and controlling operations of robotic hands and end–effectors. The purpose of such devices is often manifold, and it typically includes grasping and fine manipulation of ojects in an accurate, delicate yet firm way. We survey the state-of-the-art reached by scientific research and literature about the problems engendered by these often conflicting requirements, and the work that has been done in this area over the last two decades. Because of space limitations, the chapter does not attempt at providing a survey of the technology of robot hands, but rather it is oriented towards covering the theoretical framework, analytical results, and open problems in robotic manipulation. 1.1 Introduction In many roboticists, the admiration for what nature accomplishes in everiday’s functions of human beings and animals is the original stimulus for their research in emulating these capabilities in artificial life. Among the many awesome realizations of nature, few of the human abilities distinguish man from animals as deeply as manipulation and speech. Indeed, there are animals that can see, hear, walk, swim, etc. more effcicently than men - but language and manipulation skills are peculiar of our race, and constitute a continuing source of amazement for scientists. In this chapter, we will consider in detail the implementation of artificial systems to replicate in part the manipulating ability of the human hand. The three most important functions of the human hand are to explore, to restrain, and to precisely move objects.

Everyone stopped and looked at her. However, no one moved or walked toward the door.The tension was thicker than a plump, round turkey on Thanksgiving. “Mom, here. Have some tea,” I said, trying to soothe her. She knocked the cup from my hand sending it flying across the room. I’d never seen my mother this way. Mom went over to the front door, opened it, and said,“Yasmin, York, Yancy, and I are going to have to find a way to deal with this.
