A Jamaican's dream turns into an International Reality
By: Jodi-Kaye Watson
 The talented Ewan Walker is the well renowned skin care specialist and makeup artiste from Port Antonio, Jamaica. Ewan walker has worked with Elle, Allure, Vogue, Essence and several other International magazines.
The Jamaican culture has been the major inspiration for Mr. Ewan Walker's new product line. This talented skin care specialist has re-discovered Blue Mountain coffee, using it in the development of his new products along with other Jamaican ingredients. This product line which will be available in fall focuses on the Jamaican market with a mascara, a lip gloss and bronzer. As Mr. Walker says "who needs foundation when you have beautiful skin". Women wear makeup to portray beautiful skin so if women have beautiful skin there is no need for a whole lot of makeup. All of Mr Ewan's products are all natural and mineral based.
Ewan Walker started out as a fashion designer but made a transition to makeup and skin care, and has been soaring ever since. This love for beautiful skin can be traced back to his childhood in Jamaica when he used to admire ladies with flawless skin. The transition has brought no regrets career wise but Ewan only regrets not having gone home a little sooner. Ewan visited Jamaica in February for Sean Kingston's party after not visiting home for ten years. Sean Kingston is seen as Mr Walker's favourite client as they both have Jamaican heritage and when around Sean Kingston Mr Walker feels he is at home with friends.
Clients of Mr Ewan vary from celebrities to regular people, but whoever the client the response is always the same. They all love the work of this great makeup artiste. It may seem that Mr Walker has it easy but it is not all a bed of roses. He has faced discrimination and has been oppressed because of his heritage. But Mr Walker has never let this hinder him as Jamaica has made him who he is today not America. America has just provided opportunities for him to achieve his goals.
"Hydroquinone which is called bleaching cream is very dangerous when not used properly, it can be used but this must be done in a way that is compatible with the climate in the Caribbean". The words of the well renowned skin care specialists.
Not only has Ewan worked with the top international magazines but has also been named "Ambassador of Natural Beauty" by the Jamaican Tourist Board. He just wants Jamaican people to know that they should never forget where they are coming from and try to fit in another culture. Jamaica has made him the successful artiste that he is and whatever we as Jamaican want to achieve, our culture should be our inspiration and our backbone.

I agree, when it comes to natural beauty & skin. We have natural oils produced within the body to help beautify ours skin. If you eat the right foods(organics & whole foods)to help stimulate & produce. Chemicals are a no no and are not necessarily needed.

Well said. Congrats to you Ewan for follow your dreams and letting everyone know where that inspiration comes from, which is the jamaican culture. There is alot of Places around the world that has things that are very much Jamaican influences. But the thing is sometimes people don't know where it came from, especially when the person don't let them know that yea this is where my inspration comes from.. Lata

We support all jamaican, know matter what they do for a living, but when it comes to being gay, we have to burn that fa real, as long as there is life gay people dont have any say in our society, we could not be hear if it was not for a man on woman..so its so wrong to be gay!!!! there is know way around being gay..all gay people should burn in hell

To all of you who preaches hate and oppress any people, should be ashamed of yourselves. Especially my jamaican sisters and brothers of my native home. Your negative comments will not navigate my path or my future of being the person that jah want me to be. This is why it is so sad that we who have made it and still trying do not want to come back home because of the negative depiction of each other. We must stop the oppression, Bob Marley says: "It's one love", but I say "Its nuff love". I am not mad at your comments, I am just sad for Jamaica and the youth of the future in this great country. It is so ironic that you people get up everyday, pray to God and then you oppress your brother and your sister. Look people, you see your brother and your sister everyday and we never have to agree with each other but we must respect each other. At this point I would love to see the godliness back in Jamaica. Look within yourselves. Is this what we want for the future of Jamaica? We are seen as greatness and at the same time we are look upon as barbarians because we are so ignorant. If you believe in God, he is love not hate. Stop the oppression.
Blessings to all
Ewan Walker
