I had the opportunity to train with some of the best of the best makeup/tanning artists in the country this past weekend in Los Angeles. They have a list a mile long of celebrity makeup, red carpet events, and runway...but most impressive to me was their work with burn victims and birth defects that can be covered and camouflaged with airbrush makeup. The freedom these people experience afterward, having lived a life filled with stares, whispers and gasps, is touching and beautiful. And the personalities and pleasantness of these people made the classes perfect!
Airbrush makeup is terrific on so many levels, and as an esthetician whose primary concern is that of the health and care of the skin, this line is my ally! Water based, no risk of cross contamination, and amazing coverage for acneic/problematic skin are just a few of the reasons why I am so excited to use it! Tanning and Fantasy Techniques were pretty cool, too! Highlighting, shading, defining...you name it! Take a look! ;)
Thank you to Julie, Al and Tatiana for your expertise, and to Loni for encouraging me to work with these amazing people! Can't wait to work with you!
PS: Fun Facts...on the way to L.A....Snoop Dogg was on my flight! Now that was something! And my photo in this shot...looks like my roots are white?! Yep...residuals from the fantasy makeup portion...we had to do at least four faces along with many other "works of art" to complete our class requirement. I washed my face 6 times that day! :) But this photo of my face is my work at the end of day which we were required to do for "every-day-walk-out-on-the-street-natural" makeup...not too bad! ;)
