Gypsy Magic

Gypsy Magic

Last night's Fashion Show had to have been the busiest and best for me! 7 models and 1 designer later, I worked up a sweat! Models and desigers were in the best of moods, excitement and anticipation for the show lingered in the air! I think there may have been a little Gypsy Magic sprinkled throughout the Ruby Room.

Here are some pictures of the makeup I did before they had their hair styled and clothes selected:

 All the models brought their own eyelashes for me to apply. In my opinion, false eyelashes are the moodiest little buggers I have ever worked with. Some are fabulous and love to be applied without any struggle. Then, there are those that need massive glue and some wrangling in order for them to adhere.

What's interetsting to me, is that once women of color find the right shade of foundation, they are skeptical for anyone to use anything else. I can't say that I blame them. Many times, I see students at school wearing the wrong shade of foundation. I totally want to pull them aside and fix their foundation! :) Last night, many of the models had their foundation ready and waiting to be used in case I didn't have their shade. Luckily, I did. :)

My husband even enjoyed the pre-show. Many characters and personalities gathered in the bar waiting for the fashion show to begin. One designer, thought was husband was "yummy but too tall"! That made me laugh! Models thought my husband was a bouncer and there for their protection. I think my husband was be a great bouncer. Good thing he's by my side for my protection! :)

Me glistening with sweat! :)
