Great Vid. I really dig the fact that you want to create Eco Friendly products that are not tested on animals.

ellyfreak

As a health and environmentally-conscience consumer (a steadily growing demographic), I want a natural, eco-friendly make-up line that doesn't test on animals or use animal products in their ingredients. There are are a few out there already, but none, I believe, that focus on making the consumer look damn good while wearing it. I totally believe that Perry Foulke can accomplish this with whatever grant you give her. She is smart and talented, and she knows what women (and men) our age want.

sobrien

I loved it Perry - I would love to see you create a line of makeup that is not only eco-friendly but also makes women feel beautiful! I would buy it tomorrow! Good Luck to you

pfchingychang

Really great story, Perry. I think your idea for creating an eco-friendly makeup line is brillant.

clio

I know there are other animal friendly makeup products, but I think creating something that will also stand up against other makeup brands (colors,coverage) is a really great idea. People should be more pro-active like you and demand better quality in their makeup lines

This is great, Perry. I hope you can accomplish this and live your dreams.

Great job Perry!

YOU ARE AWESOME PERRY!!!

Grantastic

Needs better audio quality. The silence on the still frames is almost creepy.

She has a good personal story, though.

Sorry if I said cvc. Anyways your video was very helpful on the world of make-up and I find your work to be very inspirational.

binmon

I really think you have a great story. The pictures in your video are beautiful!

kbang

Love it Perry!

alexisb

You will go SO FAR Perry! I have complete faith in you!

serwitt

you've always been the creative one, all throughout school and on. i really think you've done great things so far, and given the opportunity to make your makeup line, you will hit it out of the park. great great great!

jessbrown

Fantastic.

I loved the video and the pictures were stunning.

I would love to wear your make-up line, aside from the fact that your pitch was amazing the eco-friendly aspect really sold me!

Good luck!!!!!

bryanBB2

Great story Perry!

tracyljones

Great make up and very professional pictures. From a business perspective, I don't necessarily find this video inspiring or useful to other business owners compared to some of the others.

Kizito

You say you want to make eco-friendly make-up products, but your video has not given me any clue to how you intend to do so! This dream of yours needs a business plan to become reality, but your video does not convince me you have any...

Kizito

Your video makes clear that you want to make eco friendly make up products, but gives no clue as to how you intend to do that... If you tell me you want to fly to the moon, than you will have to show me your rocket, before you convince me you actually can! ;-)

Cribb_one

I like the eco/animal friendly plan. I feel we should always try to strike a balance between being the individual through fashion, music, etc yet be responsible for our existence in the group (the planet in general).

GOPERRY

GO PERRRY!!!!!

ohhthosesharks

mrdofnyc

zbruns

This is a really great idea, Perry. I think you will take this beyond other makeup companies out there, and really make a difference.

zboystechno

Definitely. Good luck.

allisonsmith

I loved your video.... I know that Perry Foulke is the right person for this grant. What a wonderful opportunity this will be and I'm sure she will make the most of it!!!

gratitudecircle

Best of luck to you! I love your entrepreneurial spirit and your goal to create an eco friendly line.

spiritgems

Great video: informative, strong visuals, looks beautiful.... and animal & eco friendly!! I'd buy it.

dm90036

Perry I worked with your mom and dad as mu/h. Your work is great. I hope we can work together sometime. What are you going to call your makeup line?

Boneka

I am trying to work with The Body Shop for the same reasons!!! If you do make a line you should have them sell your stuff as well!!!

sirenevents

Wow what a talented young lady, I love the idea of an eco-line. I would totally buy it and love for her to give me a make over! Good Luck Perry Foulke Makeup!! Trish

jtattyara

allyd44f

you are so amazing perry. i had this fwded to me by one of your fathers friends, and i think your drive and determination should be rewarded with being able to create your makeup line and do something you love. i wish you all the best girl!

ms_shelly

Good luck Perry! Your dad must be SO proud of you!!! We all are!

lornadoone

Where are all of these votes coming from? I'm interested in hearing how you're able to get so many people to vote. Do you email blast or use other forms of communication? Seems like you've averaged 300 a day, it's interesting.

perryfoulkemakeup

Hi lornadoone, I've been really lucky to have great friends and family members...Both my father and i are in the industry together (my father for 20+ years), and we know some really amazing people who believe in me and have passed along the info to modeling agencies, other photographers, and peers. I also have a myspace profile for my work, with over 3,000+ friends who have also been spreading the word. I've had really great support through out this whole competition, and am really grateful.

veganerica

good luck perry.

eco-friendly and anti-animal testing... you have my vote on anything and everything!

david3

Interesting concept. So you want to compete with companies like Aveda, hire an industrial chemist etc, build your own company and move away from being a makeup artist if you win a grant? I watched the video several times but did not exactly get it and I would really like to. It seems like you have a trade, but would now like to transition and build a company?

lornadoone

Wow, that's really great. Yeah I was honestly just curious where all these votes and people were coming from! Great networking, good luck!

perryfoulkemakeup

Hi David3. Yes I would be competing with companies such as Aveda, but obviously I am aware that it will take some time before my company would be at the level that Aveda is at. Initially, my company will start out small, selling in boutiques in major cities and available online. As my product client base grew larger, I would like to sell in major makeup stores such as Sephora and Ulta. I don't plan on straying away from being a makeup artist, as it is my passion, and want to do it for the rest

perryfoulkemakeup

of my life, but I also want to have my company prosper and give the public a really great makeup line. I aim to do both, and I believe I am hardworking enough to make both my makeup line and my professional job as successful as I can.

perryfoulkemakeup

Lornadoone, thank you for the interest and voicing your question. I really can't believe I've had as much support as I've received, and I am really happy with all the positive emails and comments I've gotten from this. :)

DFAB

So much support for you and your family. You have a great father, and it is so exciting you both share the same creative outlets and can work together. Good luck to you, Perry!

AROSEN4012

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! YOU ARE SO TALENTED PERRY! WE ARE ALL SO PROUD OF YOU!

Sharkheadbutt

Your Eco Friendly products will be amazing! You deserve to win

amaya

Perry, you rock and I wish you all the luck! I really hope you win this!!!! You're doing to do AWESOME!

david3

Thanks for explaining Perry. That's a rough road. But dreams can come true, hopefully yours will be a good thing for you.

jasoninmb

what great work you do, eco and animal friendly products are on the rise. its good to see someone do their jod very well and still be environmentally aware.

ainsley

i love you perry bear! yay no animal testing!

ainsley

i love you perry bear! and yay for no animal testing!

kingr

Great idea... in addition perhaps be conscious of the people who live and work in the places you source those raw product materials from...

Kingteror

You show too much random people and don't talk enough about what you want

Also make-up is not something that big of a concern. I mean c'mon, there are much more important things in life than how you look!

perryfoulkemakeup

Kingteror, I don't believe I've shown too many random people, it is work that I have done and am proud of, and shows the diversity I am capable of doing. I believe the more people I work with (skin types, face shapes, etc) will play a large role in helping me make my line and I can take different factors into consideration. And sure, MANY things are more important than makeup, but I believe any small steps that I can take in helping animals, and the enviroment, will just add to the overall

perryfoulkemakeup

picture. Thanks for your concern though.

david3

Perry, if you are not already "doing things to help animals" and working towards social consciousness in the environmental movement you may not want to play that card. It is a hard sell. In times of recession the makeup industry has done well. The reason for this is that for a relatively low cost it can make people feel better about themselves. THAT is what is in it for the world should you start a business. Play that card! If you are a great makeup artist you make people feel good every day.

Finalist story from perryfoulkemakeup:

Changing the world of Make-up :)

Growing up so close to the city, and having a photographer for a father, it was inevitable that I'd become fascinated with fashion and the culture. I started accompanying my father to shoots when I was six, holding his light meters and helping out whenever I could. Watching him create these images blew my mind, and I knew I wanted to be part of this glamourus high fashion world.

Once I got a little older, I started to hang out around the make-up station and wasn't so interested in the photography aspect. I would sit and watch the makeup artist, watch how they curled the models hair, how they applied eyeshadows. I remember most vividly the colors of the eyeshadows...the deep purples, the salmon pinks...there were so many to choose from!

I've always known that I would end up in this line of business. After being sent home from school in the 2nd grade for coloring my whole platinum blonde head with orange magic markers, and consistently borrowing and playing with makeup in my mom's bathroom, it became apparent to my parents as well. After spending 4 long months in Stockholm to pursue a make-up education, I came back to the states ready to show the fashion world what I was made of.

I love what I do, and I love the oppurtunities I've had to meet and work with different people and companiess. Being able to play and experiment with all the different brands of make-up, I've never really found that ONE brand I could say I loved. Being able to create my own make-up line would allow me to finally create that product, and make women all over really feel GOOD about themselves. A Green product, using no harsh chemicals, but still attaining those bright, brillantly colored products we've all grown to love.

Make-up has been my passion since I was a little girl, and I'd like to make it as enjoyable as it is for me for everybody else.

Advice for others:

Always be friendly! Whether you are having a horrible day or not, always keep a smile on your face.

Always be willing to help! whether it's in the job description or not, always offer an extra hand.

NETWORK! and never burn bridges. you never know who will cross your path in the future.

Never give up. if you have an idea that you think will make it, stick to it! You will always meet people who can help you put your idea to reality.
