Tribal Carnival band launch 2013 The Beauty of Nature (Stage Shots)

Caribana (Toronto Carnival) 2013 season is officially off to a beautiful start with Tribal Carnival's costume presentation The Beauty of Nature. It was held again at the Grand Luxxe, which is a good central location.

I am impressed with the shiny purple in Birds, the jewels in Pele, Butterflies cute wings, and most men's headpieces are stand outs, as are Oasis, Tribal, Autumn and Storm headpieces. Familiar Indian mas colours yellow & teal were used in Tribal, but the designers created their own touches to it. Love this costume! I also really like all the elements in Autumn.

So what do you think of The Beauty of Nature?

Mas makeup

So you've selected your costume, it's sensational, & you can't wait to play mas. Time to consider the other elements to making your mas pop on the road. For the last several years Caribana has seen more influence from Trinidad Carnival with masqueraders wearing more elaborate makeup, including face jewels. I made contact last year with someone saying she was a makeup artist and would do faces on Caribana, but unfortunately I never heard back from her. Why was it that no one else was advertising for this service? It seems to me to be an excellent opportunity for talented makeup artists, as I know many masqueraders would love to have their makeup done for Caribana.

Callaloo's Indo-Aryans

This year fortunately I discovered Makeup by Natasha thanks to Tru! Natasha is from Trinidad, and of course Loves (with a capital L!) Carnival. She started doing makeup on herself and friends for Carnival a long time ago, and always had a passion for it. She took a makeup course at Centennial College 2 years ago while doing her Advanced Aesthetics and Airbrushing from George Brown College. She also attended Yorkville School of Makeup and Aesthetics where Natasha says she picked up a lot of tricks of the trade from the makeup teachers there, who are some of the best in the business. Natasha uses Nars, Makeup Forever, Gosh and Vasanti. She started using Sasha cosmetics because she loves their vibrant colors and the way it matches skin colours so nicely. She's now a Canadian Rep and sells their makeup in Canada.
