Working Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week 2011

I feel lucky to have worked with such amazing artists again this year. There were two different teams of makeup artists, one group was keyed by Lottie and the other by James Vincent. They split the shows and came up with amazing makeup looks using Make Up For Ever's new Aqua Creams.

If you are looking for a long wearing product the Aqua Cream is a must have in your makeup bag. The more subtle colors you can use for your eyes, cheeks, and lips.

After working the Aqui Di Lara show, being Miami it started raining out while the shows were taking place. After the last show the models came back from one tent to another soaking wet with their makeup PERFECTLY intact.

I only got to work 3 shows this year and on Monday while the last show (Tyler Rose) was taking place, I got a call to go to the VIP sweet at the Raleigh Hotel to treat some guests to a makeover. I got to meet all kinds of people and felt really fortunate that on the last day I got to meet some other hard working faces.

The 3 shows I worked were Mara Hoffman, Aqua Di Lara, and the Luli Fama show.

It was a fun but at the same time a nerve-racking experience. There is so much work put into the shows and when it comes down to crunch time, we have to make sure each model has what they need. We had hair, makeup, nail, even people doing facials backstage. All this is happening with camera crew and press walking in and out of the tents.Talk about hectic, but bring it on.

Over all the shows were a great success!
