Sir John is a great teacher, this was my second time assisting him in New York. He works quickly and he expected all of us to work with speed as well. He taught us how to not only work with our brushes to create these looks but to work with our hands to blend the makeup effectively and fast.<br />

This is me with a few of the artists backstage having a quick celebration after everyone was complete; we were so proud, excited and ready to watch the show. We were not allowed to capture any photos of Beyonce' or any of the dance routines, but it was absolutely amazing watching everything come together. We had to complete 80 dancers in hair, makeup, styling and body paint within 5 hours, so most of the time we were really busy getting every one complete.</div>

<br />
The idea of "Chicago Artist Studios" came about when we noticed a lot of photographers and artists leaving and moving away from Chicago due to a lack of comradery amongst artists and lack of opportunity in Chicago. There are actually really great opportunities and work in Chicago but if no one talks about it, unfortunately no one knows about it. There's also an issue when the photographer or artist comes back to Chicago, they usually have no place to set up and work for their clients. There are very little to no studio spaces available for hourly rentals in Chicago, so we wanted to change things up and create one. We want to break the barrier and link makeup artists with photographers, photographers with models, models with hair stylists, and hair/makeup artists with the agencies in Chicago.<br />
<br />
Our mission is to help photographers, agencies and artists not only in Chicago but to also help artists from all around the Midwest who need a space to rent so they can effectively work on their job, project, event, or photoshoot in a professional atmosphere. We will also host exclusive events and team up with some of the most innovative nail artists, makeup artists and hair stylists for education classes and networking parties. We want to branch out and create opportunities by connecting the top model agencies in Chicago with some of the best photographers and artists in the Midwest.<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We hope Chicago Artist Studios will create <span style="background-color: white; color: #141823;">more networking, relationship building and unity between all the artists in Chicago.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">This was one of my most favorite projects I worked on for 2015. We had the gel paper concept planned out, but I had no idea what colors to choose before hand, so I literally brought every glitter, pigment and eye shadow color with me to prepare for the day. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have to start off saying that I absolutely love the team behind<a href="http://www.kliqstudio.com/" target="_blank"> Kliq Studio</a>. This was our first time working together on a concept that Ashley Gregory and myself really wanted to bring to life. Carissa and Le allowed us complete creative freedom; it was really refreshing and amazing to work with people that believe in your talents and give you all the time in the world to work your magic.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I started off clean, which is something I always recommend to every makeup artist. Starting off with clean makeup helps me see my canvas (my model) in a very raw and bare moment; it also helps me map out the features on her face that I would like to highlight in the editorial. I really loved the clear nails Ashley applied on Marta, the transparent makeup & nails looked so perfect together.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This foundation is so amazing, it creates the perfect dewy, glossy effect on skin and it bounces off the lights beautifully.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you haven't had a chance to read my blog last year, let me fill you in on something: DeShawn Hatcher is an amazing artist and beauty educator based in NY. I had the opportunity to assist DeShawn last season for NY Fashion Week; I learned so much in such a short amount of time working with her. I wrote a post about my experience at fashion week but just incase you missed it, here it is:</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So fast forward to today, I had no clue DeShawn was working on her book at the time when I met her! All I knew was that I needed a monthly subscription to DeShawn's <a href="https://deshawnlovesmakeup.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> because she would spill SO much truth about the world of makeup which is very rare in the fashion industry. I encounter many great artists who are great at talking about the pretty side of makeup but they don't share anything valuable to the amateur artists that will help them get ahead in life. DeShawn holds nothing back from no one; I just adore that about her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the first blog posts I read of DeShawn's was this: <a href="https://deshawnlovesmakeup.wordpress.com/2014/12/08/assisting-101/" target="_blank">Assisting 101 by DeShawn Hatcher</a> I am so thankful that she expanded this into a beautiful and easy to follow book for all artists.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JfUYiH27i9w/Vb8xU9wV3wI/AAAAAAAAib4/-83CDtZnkjY/s1600/branding-is-more-than.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JfUYiH27i9w/Vb8xU9wV3wI/AAAAAAAAib4/-83CDtZnkjY/s320/branding-is-more-than.jpg" width="247" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Assisting Rules" is one of those must-have books if you are a makeup artist, hairstylist, or even a wardrobe stylist trying to break into the freelancing industry but you don't know the proper way to go about it. DeShawn pays respect to the former and current great master artists so that new artists of today understand how to properly work in their field. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I cannot stress this enough: The information in this book is something you will NOT learn from YouTube or Instagram. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is pure, honest, unfiltered, and very rare advice from a real working artist. Thanks to DeShawn, I now see the mistakes I said, did, made in emails and phone calls from my past. Now, I am reaching out to people I haven't spoken to before, or haven't spoken to in a while, and I am switching up how I communicate with people to be more effective with selling myself. DeShawn also talks about agency do's and dont's, how to work in fashion week, on set etiquette, standard portfolio presentation and there's much more inside.</div>

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;"> Light Test</span></u></b><br />
I did a quick light test under 3 types of lighting to see what looks the most flattering. The <b style="color: #f4cccc;">Bianca B </b>lipstick looks almost white under the cool and flash lighting, which is not complimentary for women of color but I think the other shades look great under any lighting.<br />
The colors look the most true under the pure white flash light.<br />

Bianca B is a pastel pink. This shade is opaque so it comes out a bit chalky on dark skin tones.</div>

Pastel lipsticks are not very flattering because you will end up looking really washed out and ashy. </div>

Deep Red with a slight orange undertone. The packaging has a more blue undertone which threw me off, but when applied it melted into my skin with a bit of an orange finish. I personally would use a much darker lipliner to create a true red tone on my lips.<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For every beauty editorial, I tend to be very hands on and very much a perfectionist with my work. Sometimes I plan out mood boards and sketch a few ideas so I can show the photographer and the team what I plan to do. I decided to try something completely new so I did not sketch or plan these looks out at all. I did find inspiration photos to mimic but I didn't even look at them once I started working with Clara. Deep, deep, down inside my soul I was scared to just let go but it felt liberating to just grab a random color and work with it. Working this way gave me a new appreciation for art. At this time, Clara had a new haircut and was just about to move to New York City, so I fed off her energy and created what I wanted.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For this first look, I played with my NYX Lip Palette in "Sweet Oranges". Although NYX is seen as a 'cheap' product to most people, this palette packs a punch; these oranges are really bright! I wanted the colors to pop and I also wanted to keep it simple by not adding blush or eyeshadow. I absolutely love how this came out and I really love the way <a href="http://www.10photos.net/" target="_blank">Ten Photos</a> experimented with different lighting to highlight her face.</span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_TxAOUKQlNw/VWlrrlma_pI/AAAAAAAAiM8/b5MxETq1X2Y/s1600/nyx_sweet_oranges-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="191" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_TxAOUKQlNw/VWlrrlma_pI/AAAAAAAAiM8/b5MxETq1X2Y/s320/nyx_sweet_oranges-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For this second look, I always wanted to try blended colors on a models' face so it looks like a cloud of different shades. I had nothing like this in my portfolio so I just wanted to play and experiment with the colors I had. I think I was working with Ben Nye eyeshadows, Inglot Eyeshadows, and MAC Blushes; I really didn't think it through, I just grabbed a color and went with it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">At this time, I remember Clara's face was getting sensitive and I had to slow down on putting too much product on her face. I opted to keep her lips and face clear and clean so I played up her eyes with new products I just bought. I don't use any of my green eyeshadows, so I just used this moment as an excuse to finally use them. I also wanted to play around with colored mascara, so I used my </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Inglot Gel Liner as mascara on Clara.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">From this shoot, and many other shoots, I learned a little bit more about myself: I learned that I don't have to plan every single thing out, I don't have to be a control freak, I don't have to be a perfectionist. I can just be the artist I was born to be and paint. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">That is my advice to you as well, don't get caught up in thinking 'this has to be perfect' or 'this has to be a certain way', when it comes to art, there is no such thing as 'perfect' or 'a certain way'. When you get the opportunity to work with a model and a photographer and you have free reign to do as you want, just paint and let it go. You might surprise yourself with the things you can create.</span></div>

"Pink Panther" has been released today inside <a href="http://institutemag.com/2015/04/21/the-pink-panther/" target="_blank">Institute Magazine</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a look at some work behind the scenes:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://pelejoez.com/" target="_blank">Pele</a> and I instantly connected when we first spoke about the makeup for this editorial; we wanted to highlight Rose's features and go a bit extreme with the color. I always wanted to try a neon pink makeup look, so I was really excited to express myself and try something new.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pinks were a combination of MAC's "Full Fuchsia" and "Pinch O Peach" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to exaggerate the contours in her face. I blended and blended and blended for almost 2 hours so the colors seeped seamlessly into her skin with a fluffy brush like the <a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/mac-168-large-angled-contour-brush?ID=106298&pla_country=US&CAGPSPN=pla&CAWELAID=120156340000217559&catargetid=120156340001025861&cadevice=c&cm_mmc=Google_Beauty_PLA_PLA-_-Beauty_MAC+Makeup+-+GS_Mac-_-55659172466_-_-_mkwid_xEutBcWh%7Cdc_55659172466%7C-%7CxEutBcWh" target="_blank">MAC 168 Contour Brush</a>.</div>

Rose's hair is naturally curly, so I added more curls and more volume so it looked like a lion's mane when she walked down the streets of Chicago.</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Milani gave me hours and hours of time to complete all the looks, which I SO appreciated. I was really inspired by the symmetrical, graphic hair style and the wardrobe Tess was wearing, so I tried to mimic the lipstick to match the highlights in her hair by mixing Tom Ford's "Bruised Plum", Bobbi Brown Lip Pot in "Chocolate Cherry" together with Bobbi Brown's, "Plum Gold" Lip Gloss. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The hair color for model Reese was literally neon green and there was no way I was going to attempt to outshine the hair with heavy makeup, so I went the opposite direction and kept the palette on her face nude. I used <a href="http://www.bennye.com/" target="_blank">Ben Nye</a> Powder in Olive Sand and <a href="http://www.sephora.com/" target="_blank">Make Up For Ever</a> Mat Velvet + in Shade #70 on her skin. On her lips, I used "Spice" from MAC and a neutral gloss on top. Everything else on her face was very neutral and simple. I chose to use matte shades of makeup because this was an all day event, the models had a lot of walking to do and I wasn't able to complete touch ups on them while they were onstage, so I used durable, sweat-resistent makeup to complete these looks.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The hair was so regal and beautiful, so I wanted to add extra drama and class by using gold everywhere.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">AJ's "Dual Skin Foundation" is so creamy but it's not sticky, not flaky, not drying and not oily; it is not bad at all. It covers acne and scars VERY well and leaves a soft sheen on skin. I find it similar to Graftobian for all the curious artists out there who haven't tried this brand yet. I also really love AJ's foundations because it comes in the lightest hues to the darkest tones; it caters to all shades and I love brands that can provide this for all my clients.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I prefer to start all editorials with light makeup; it helps to build the mood and the color palette as the story grows darker. The makeup, nails and accessories have to mimic the wardrobe so it reads well on camera, so I try to keep that in mind and not get too distracted or too carried away with colors. As an artist, I can easily get distracted by looking at ALL the colors in my kit so I only pull out the specific products I need so I can stay consistent with the theme.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The story moved into more golden, olive and bronze tones, so I went a tad bit darker here by using these beauty products on Joanna's eyes:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">FYI: Gold Leaf is hard to work with.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Gold Leaf is like tissue paper but it's lighter than a feather; if you don't hold it down well with your makeup brush, it will literally fly away from you. Gold leaf is not as dense as paper, so you will need something sticky for the gold leaf to adhere to skin. You could use lip gloss, lip balm, or lash glue; I ended up using lip balm because it was just the right amount of stickiness for me so incase I needed to adjust the gold leaf to frame the eyes, I can do it without disturbing the eyeshadow beneath.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.vfiles.com/" target="_blank">VFILES</a> is a youthful, fashion-based online community derived from <a href="http://www.vmagazine.com/" target="_blank">V Magazine</a>, but this website functions like Pinterest: On VFILES.com, you can share and repost images you like as well as save images in albums on your personal page. For the past 3 seasons, VFILES has held a fashion show contest by picking out four emerging fashion designers from their online community. This year, VFILES held a contest in January 2015 and not only found four new fashion designers, they also chose the makeup artist, the hair stylist, the photographer and the wardrobe stylist to lead the show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week for Fall/Winter 2015.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks to mua <a href="http://www.nikavaughan.com/" target="_blank">Nika Vaughan</a>, she informed me about the contest and I jumped on it right away. I submitted 12 of my favorite images and hoped for the best. About a week later, I received a message from the VFiles Founder asking if I was available and interested for their show on February 11th, I said "YES!"</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was beyond excited! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had no idea what I was going to get myself into but I felt like I was ready for anything. I sent them a few images of ideas I had for each designer to work with their Fall wardrobe. After a dozen email exchanges, we came down to a few looks that I could re-create with Aveda for the makeup and hair test run. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t7QisMDhG2I/VOIco_858bI/AAAAAAAAe-g/ou7uIFzQbWM/s1600/10312626_785637738152646_4385106000676376032_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t7QisMDhG2I/VOIco_858bI/AAAAAAAAe-g/ou7uIFzQbWM/s1600/10312626_785637738152646_4385106000676376032_n.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The winning image VFILES chose was created with photographer <a href="http://www.10photos.net/" target="_blank">10photos</a>, so he also came with me to New York. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Soon as we landed in NYC, I needed to head straight to the VFiles office to start the makeup tests. The most difficult makeup idea I had was for <a href="http://shop.discountuniverse.com.au/" target="_blank">Discount Universe</a>, their collection was the most colorful and I wanted the makeup to reflect their aesthetic.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0qhgIA9nuxk/VOIdd4mlneI/AAAAAAAAe-w/rpHOB6Vw38M/s1600/VFiles%2BOffice%2BFeb%2B10%2C%2B2015%2B10photos-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0qhgIA9nuxk/VOIdd4mlneI/AAAAAAAAe-w/rpHOB6Vw38M/s1600/VFiles%2BOffice%2BFeb%2B10%2C%2B2015%2B10photos-8.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">V Magazine's head makeup artist, <a href="http://www.artandcommerce.com/artists/makeup-artists/James-Kaliardos" target="_blank">James Kaliardos</a>, jumped in and gave me guidance right away. He has worked with Nikki Minaj, Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, Vogue Japan; he has numerous amazing clients. James </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">reminded me that the Vfiles team had to complete hair, makeup, nails and fittings for 75 models within two hours as well as quickly demo all four looks to the team of Aveda. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought to myself<i> <span style="font-size: large;">two hours</span></i><span style="font-size: large;">?!?! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But then I remembered the times I assisted other artists and yes, two hours sounded about right for fashion week; so that changed EVERYthing. I had to tone down all of my ideas in order to stay within the time frame. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7d_m8qbzTSY/VOIjX_o1PVI/AAAAAAAAe_A/hr7vjy7zLmo/s1600/VFiles%2BOffice%2BFeb%2B10%2C%2B2015%2B10photos-12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7d_m8qbzTSY/VOIjX_o1PVI/AAAAAAAAe_A/hr7vjy7zLmo/s1600/VFiles%2BOffice%2BFeb%2B10%2C%2B2015%2B10photos-12.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of Aveda's lead makeup artists, Eva Van Anglen, jumped in right away and gave me a brief product review of Aveda's makeup. <a href="http://www.aveda.com/" target="_blank">Aveda</a> is an all natural, plant based makeup line; we were a bit limited in color choices and texture ideas I originally mapped out, but after I </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">re-created the makeup ideas, we made it work for all four designers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For Discount Universe, the hair was an 80's inspired Mullet, so I went from having super pink cheeks and green brows to a dark blue smokey cat eye inspired by 80's Queen Debbie Harry. After speaking with the VFILES fashion directors, Aveda, and fashion designers, I had to tone the makeup down even more.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The day of the show, I was pumped up yet SUPER nervous. I usually NEVER get nervous for anything related to makeup, but I had a whole team to demo in a short time frame and I was still very unsure about the look for Discount Universe. The looks that were approved by the VFILES staff I was not 100% happy with because the looks were not my original ideas, but I had to keep in mind that the show was not about the makeup, it had to blend in with everyone else's talents on board to be cohesive for the show.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Soon as I walked into Lincoln Center, Eva Anglen and Janell Geason (the Global Artist Director for Aveda) went above and beyon</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">d to really help me. Eva divided the artists into four teams for each designer; she demonstrated the looks to all the artists for each designer before hand; that took a HUGE load off my shoulders and it allowed us a little more time to prep the models. After every model was complete or close to complete, I checked on the models faces and gave my input to each makeup artist to make sure the makeup looks unison from face to face.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At the very last half hour, the Vfiles team let me know the makeup needed to be bolder for Discount Universe so it reads better on the runway. After briefing with Eva, we ended up adding black glitter and a hot pink lipliner called "Cactus Blossom" to pop on the runway. After I saw glitter flying everywhere, I was no longer nervous. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Glitter solves everything!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really thank VFILES for giving emerging artists a chance to shine, this show was a huge learning experience and I now understand how everything works at Fashion Week from both assisting and leading in makeup. It truly takes a team to get things done properly. I originally thought things would be difficult and I would have to do a lot on my own, but Aveda was so incredibly helpful and made things much easier than I expected. This experience makes me realize just how much lead artists go through; I absolutely have no regrets after learning there are so many dimensions to consider when putting on a show.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you have not read my previous blogs or seen my work from years ago, Pat McGrath is a huge inspiration behind a lot of the makeup looks I create. She is the top makeup artist in the world and I hope to be at least 10% more like her as I grow into my artistry every day. Two months ago, Pat announced that she was looking for a few new artists to add to her makeup team:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I teamed up with one of my favorite photographers: <a href="http://www.krisanderik.com/" target="_blank">Kris Lou + Erik Robert</a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">They are a traveling photography duo that work so well together; they have been doing photography for only two years so far and they create ideas and visions of fashion photography light years ahead of their time. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I showed them my idea for the Pat McGrath contest entry and they expanded upon it by providing perfect wardrobe to compliment the makeup with amazing creative direction for our shoot to flow smoothly. Kris and Erik had bigger ideas than I envisioned for this project and I thank them for pushing me to believe in myself and go all out for Pat McGrath. </span></div>

<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">1.) I applied the Kryolan airbrush first to have a clean, white layer for a stronger contrast in the makeup</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">2.)I then added teeth, jawbones, eye sockets, etc with a thick paint brush. Theatrical makeup can seem overwhelming at first, but think of each section of the face as shapes: Eyes are like circles, nose is like an upside down triangle, teeth are like the letter "D" turned on it's side. Sketch out each section in shapes, then fill in where needed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="color: #222222;">I also used a MAC eye liner brush #210 for presicion details with the teeth as well as the cracks in the Skull. I mimicked random shapes of tiny tree branches to create the broken/cracked effect.</span></span></div>

I absolutely loved what <a href="http://www.factorartists.com/a/galina-bio/">Galina Kapustina</a> of Factor Artists brough on set, she mixed different textures, hues, and tones for each model. The nail artist, <a href="http://spifster.tumblr.com/">Spifster</a>, created unique and simple designs for all four models. The hair stylist, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/MiMeKi-MY-HAIR-by-Mimeki/233046703445496">Mimeki</a>, did a superb job of straightening all of the models hair. My assistant for the day, Brooke, was so sweet and helpful! Everything ran so smoothly for the whole day.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">13 hours, 10 people on set, 8 wardrobe changes, 4 models, </span><span style="font-size: large;">all for 1 magazine!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222;">But I toned this look down for a more commercial appeal. I worked with mostly Inglot white and black gel liner #76 and #77 with "Wispy" Ardell Lashes to finish the look.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">First of all:</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">DeShawn. Is. EVERYTHING.</span><br />
<br />
I read her <a href="http://deshawnlovesmakeup.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> every month, her advice on the fashion industry is so golden and solid, she has really helped me throughout my budding career. I also follow DeShawn on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DeShawnHatcher.MakeupArtist?ref=br_rs" target="_blank">Facebook,</a> <a href="http://instagram.com/deshawnhatcher" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, pretty much everywhere. I've study her work for years, her creativity with color theory is absolutely incredible to me, she creates color combinations that I would never have thought to reproduce and there are a LOT of artists that mimic her style today. Deshawn is inspiring, one of the very few artists I really look up to... she's genius, genuine, talented and wise; I have the utmost respect for her! I hope to be at least 5% more like her when I grow up. So when she announced she needed assistance for NY Fashion week I JUMPED to my email right away, messaged her, and kept my fingers crossed.<br />
<br />
DeShawn replied back,<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">"</span><b><span style="color: purple;"><i>Girl, I would love to have you on my team</i>."</span></b></span><br />

It took me a while to understand what DeShawn was looking for with makeup, she was very specific about placement of eyeshadow and the direction of the blush as well as how much iridescent shimmer to use on the lips. Sometimes duplicating what the key artist wants is hard for other artists, especially if you are used to doing makeup a certain way; but this is why I adore fashion week; I learn new techniques and new ways of applying makeup from pro artists that I would normally never have the opportunity to work with. These are makeup lessons I could never learn on YouTube or on the Internet, these were life lessons that I would cherish forever. After about four times of me re-doing the models lips, adding more makeup to eyes, and toning it down in some areas, she said,<br />
"Yes!"<br />

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=035lLwYeLgk" target="_blank">Kelly Thompson</a> of <a href="https://us.kryolan.com/" target="_blank">Kryolan Cosmetics</a> was the key artist for <a href="http://www.betseyjohnson.com/" target="_blank">Betsey Johnson</a> SS2015 "Prenup" Show. I was not able to do full makeup on the models, but I was able to powder a few models before they headed to the runway. Kelly is amazing! She showed the artists how to create 1980's style drag makeup with a modern fashion twist. With a majority of the designers at fashion week going the 'all natural' route for makeup, it was really refreshing for the artists to get our hands dirty and really be an artist 100% for Betsey. False lashes, feathers, smokey eyes, bold red lips, the works: I was thrilled! Here's a look at photos I took on my phone as well as my Sony HD Camera; all photography by me.</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Those "no's" pushed me into understanding what I needed to work on to be a better artist not only for myself but for other artists in the fashion industry. Those "no's" pushed me to study intense makeup skills and even hair skills for men, women, and kids. Those "no's" helped me do things I didn't think I was capable of doing. Those "no's" are the exact reason why I am working with companies I have being dying to work with for years. If someone or something has told you 'NO', swallow your pride and understand it is a re-direction to your future.</span></div>

One of Charlotte's top assistants, Konstantine, showed us the products first hand. He was so sweet and patient, and he genuinely loves the products. The first product we tried was "Charlotte's Magic Cream". I would compare the texture of the magic cream similar to <a href="http://www.cremedelamer.com/products/9924/Shop" target="_blank">LaMer</a> or <a href="http://www.embryolisseusa.com/" target="_blank">Embryolisse</a>. Charlotte created her own creams and moisturizers for years before launching her line, this particular cream she has used backstage at numerous shows for fashion week. "Magic cream" is very light weight, contains SPF 15, very moisturizing and creates a soft glow to the face. This is so great as a primer, sinks into skin like butter and makes your foundation glow.</div>

The second product we tried was the "Multi-Miracle Glow", made in Switzerland; this gel cream is literally do die for. This is 3 products all in one formula, it can be used as a cleanser, a regenerating night time mask, and/or a body butter to apply before or after your shower. I applied it on my arm and it created a ridiculous glow on my skin without feeling sticky or leaving a strong odor. The fragrance is soft, like gardenias. This "miracle glow" is especially great for photo shoots, it feels silky smooth to the touch, almost slippery, and photographs so well. Stays on skin for hours. I was truly sold on this one!</div>

We were also able to play with foundations, concealers, lipsticks, lip glosses, lip liners and eye pencils. The "Rock N Kohl" liquid eye pencils are so velvety soft, you have to move slowly and carefully to apply it so you won't waste too much product.</div>

These were my top 3 favorite products that stood out to me most and I for sure will purchase them when it launches in the US. Everything else in the Charlotte Tilbury collection reminded me of duplicate products I have worked with, but I can say the whole line has beautiful, rich textures and outstanding quality from the skin care to the color palettes in the eyeshadows. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I highly recommend makeup artists and the everyday woman to try it for yourself; the brand is a little pricey but so worth it.</div>
