Happy New Year! (A little late, I know...) January started off very busy, and hasn't really slowed down. I flew to Toronto for 2 days! at the beginning of the month for a huge brand training and then came back to LA for a fashion show on the 10th and the Golden Globes on the 11th. I can tell already, its going to be a busy and exciting year!
A few highlights so far...
Tuesday, January 6: Fly to Toronto
I flew to Toronto with Desiree and met up with Traci, Nancy, and Dom, three of our Stila pro artists. It was the one year anniversary of Stila at Muzik and there was a lot going on! FYI - Muzik is this insanely chic "club"/beauty lounge in Toronto and Stila is the official Muzik makeup provider for the lounge.
Wednesday, January 7: Training at Muzik
I joined the Stila pro team and we trained 100 girls from Muzik. We talked about the Stila brand and dished on hot celebrities and their favorite Stila products! I created an "official" look for the Muzik team to wear for the grand re-opening night! It included our famous Smoky Eye Palette – The Original and Convertible Color. Both products look and feel sexy on so it's the perfect match for this ultra-chic look!
Friday, January 9: Fly back to Los Angeles
Today was very busy organizing and preparing for the weekend of Red Carpet makeup. I work with a lot of fun celebrity clients so I wanted to make sure my makeup kit was in tip-top shape and ready to go with every possible shade - just in case.
I love using the Stila Illuminating Liquid Foundation when doing Red Carpet makeup. It makes the skin look really dewy and radiant and youthful - perfect for Hollywood!
Saturday, January 10: Fashion Show-Art of Asylum sponsored by VOGUE
I worked this show with Stila pro artist Viviana and some other famous makeup artists in from NYC. This was a pretty big show with 6 looks to create, as many fashion designers showcased their work. It was a lot of fun.
An added bonus was that I was able to connect with my friend Edwin from NYC. He does hair and we work together a lot for Red Carpet events as we have a few clients in common!
Sunday, January 11: Day of Golden Globes
I was on location at 9:30am and I worked up until 4pm when the Red Carpet began! The look for Golden Globe makeup was all about healthy beautiful skin with a pop of brightness in the cheek and lip! I was able to play with Stila's new Pomegranate Crush Lip & Cheek Stain on my clients and they all loved it!
Tuesday, January 13: Off to Chicago brrrr...
Tonight I packed for Chicago! (Lot of warm clothes!) I am going to meet up with Stila pro artist Dom. We will be filming a ‘Spring Looks' video featuring Stila's new Precious Pearl Collection.
Thanks for reading! Lots more to come as 2009 is going to be a great year!
