Oscar de la Renta Fashion Show

This may very well be one of the biggest events in my career!  I will be part of the makeup team, headed by the amazingly talented Jami Sway, at the Oscar de la Renta fashion show in Charlotte!  Oscar will be showcasing his Fall 2011 collection to benefit the Mint Museum in uptown on April 29, 2011.  These fashions were just debuted for New York Fashion week, and they will now be shown to the Charlotte community.

This weekend, the makeup team gathered to perform our run-through of the makeup look we'll be executing at the show.  Above are some photos of my model, Mechelle.

The look is very sophisticated and wearable.  It features a simple chocolate brown eye, with flushed berry colored cheeks and lips.  The skin is natural and almost bare, using foundation and concealer only where needed.

I am so honored and humbled to be part of this team for Oscar de la Renta's show. 

Charlotte Style Magazine

I was honored to work with Charlotte Style Magazine for the third time!  The Spring 2011 issue featured the top 25 Most Stylish People in Charlotte, with the top 5 on the cover.  The 2011 Top 5 Most Stylish include Sandy Bowers (owner of Monkee’s Of Lake Norman), Jami Svay (Celebrity Make-Up Artist and creator of Tastee Cosmetics), Nicole Sinclair (Chief Creative Officer for Style Sanctum), Brittney Cason (Columnist, TV Host and Philanthropist) and Ron Freeman, Jr. (Managing Partner of Dry Creek Holdings, LLC and Bespoke Media).

The Cover Reveal party took place at Mercedes Benz of South Charlotte, and featured a runway show of local boutiques. The cover was on display the following day at Tiffany's, where the subject enjoyed an authentic Breakfast at Tiffany's.

I had a great time at the cover shoot working with the amazing team: Erin L Hubbs, Fine Art Photographer, and Larry Webb, Hairstylist for Salon Vivace Southpark.

Thank you to Bridgette and Charlotte Style for allowing me to work with you again!

Stay tuned for images from the magazine!

Sexy Samantha!

I worked with the beautiful and infinitely talented model Sammie Mills once before, and I was honored she asked me to join her for this photo shoot with amazing fashion photographer Jim Merrill, of JMT.  These photos were taken at Jim's studio in North Davidson.

Sammie is looking to branch out and do some more sophisticated and edgy shoots, and I was happy to help glam her up!  She is so much fun to work with, and really is a site to be seen!

Thank you to Jim, Mari, and Sammie for having me be part of this fun and flirty photoshoot!
