Day 5 | CZAR by Cesar Galindo SS2014

CZAR by Cesar Galindo | SS2014

September 9th, 2013

-------------------------------

I assisted Ashunta Sheriff last year for Cesar Galindo's SS2013 Presentation Show, so I was really excited and honored to assist her for a second season. Last season was all about lavender lips and clean eyes, this season they switched it up.

The Makeup Look for Cesar Galindo's SS2014 Show created by Ashunta Sheriff:

- Metallic, illuminated skin

- No mascara

- Light contour on nose bridge and cheek bones

- Nude, metallic lip

- Extra highlighter on skin and collarbones

The hair for Cesar Galindo SS2014 created by Janelle of O+M Salon:

- Sleek, Glossy be-jeweled ponytail

I was so INLOVE with the hair!!

Here are the five models I worked on for CZAR's show under the direction of Ashunta Sheriff. I forgot most of the models' names, things were going sooooo fast within the hour.

    ---------------------------

Ashunta Sheriff is the long time makeup artist for Alicia Keys, Kerry Washington, Kelly Rowland, Janelle Monae, and Paula Patton just to name a few of her clients. I thanked Ashunta over and over for the amazing opportunity to represent her and to be apart of her team. As you can clearly see, I cannot hide my happiness!

I am still in shock over everything that happened in New York. It's ALL because of God!   ---------------------------   Next Day, I was heading back home to Chicago.  

    I had an epic, amazing, thrilling time working 5 days in a row for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. I am crossing my fingers and hoping I can work there again next season!

Day 2 | Allure Lounge with Maybelline New York

 

 September 5th, 2013
 

At the Empire Hotel on 63rd and Columbus, Maybelline and Allure Magazine teamed up to provide complimentary makeovers for every woman by Maybelline's key artist Gabriel Almodovar with the artists of Maybelline, manicures by Maybelline and hairstyling by the hair stylists from Dream Dry Salon.

 

 

The location of the Empire Hotel is literally across the street from where Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week was held, so the event grew really popular really fast.

We had a long line of people waiting for hours!

 

 

 

 



 

While working, I was able to see this awesome lady:

 

Kelly Osbourne

 

A black SUV stopped right on the corner of 63rd and Columbus; Kelly stepped out and started walking towards my way to head to Lincoln Center.

 

 

 --------------------------

 

The fashion in NY is so COOL!

I was in awe of the youthful energy surrounding the area.

Later that day, I met up with photographer and friend Dana Scruggs.

She is doing amazingly well since she moved to NY!

Check out her work and support this fabulous lady.

 

 

 I was so in love with the people, the energy, the music, the food;

everything was so inspiring.
