Digging around looking for my old Myspace page, I found some behind the scenes shots of my work. It's funny to see how my work has changed, how my placement is different, and the wider range of products I am using now to get similar looks. Let me know what you think. I think I was a little blush happy back then too! Ha ha!
Take a look at some behind the scenes footage of an artist who is slightly new in front of the camera, but she's been a very popular songwriter behind the music for many years. Some of her clients have included Keri Hilson, as well as Britney Spears for whom she wrote the hit "Womanizer". So, K. Briscoe is no stranger to the spotlight, but now it's her turn to shine. I had the pleasure of doing her make up for her first video "Dishes" featuring Busta Rhymes, and directed by the legendary Benny Boom. It was a great day of shooting, great location, and a great team She is definitely one to watch! Special thanks to YSL and Koh Gen Do for sponsoring my kit for this video! Her skin looked amazing!
I was equally excited, and honored to work with DJ and founder of Black Girls Rock, Beverly Bond. She started a movement from a list of black women that were positive images in the media, and the first Black Girls Rock Awards aired on BET in November of 2010. Her nomination was in the 'Outstanding Variety' category at this year's NAACP awards, and she was a pleasure to work with!! 
I'm super busy January - March, but it's always a good time and a blessing to work with so many talented people.
Genevieve was asked to be a presenter for the 4th Annual Rock the Kasbah Gala in support of Virgin Records. Everyone has been asking me what I did to get her make up ready for that night, so here it is!
To start Genevieve has great skin, so all I used was a small amount of Temps Majeur face creme and Matt Touch primer mixed together throughout her T-zone. I then used Touche Eclat highlighter #3 to mixed with a # 3 concealer under her eyes. Perfect Touch Foundation, was then lightly blended out around her highlight. I used a darker powder first to contour her skin, then a powder a little lighter than her skin to blend it all together. Her blush is the # 3 Blush Variation, her eyes were done with a mix of YSL shadows , and her lips were lined with #13 pencil blended with Rouge Pur 143 Lipstick. This lip color was perfect, and when wearing a red dress, less is more! All products mentioned are from Yves Saint Laurent Beauty.
Whenever photographer Indochine and I do commercial or catalog shoots, we always seem to knock it out of the park. This shoot was for a fitness magazine, and the look was fresh, clean healthy skin. The hair was done by the talented Tara Copeland, and we shot near UCLA and in Santa Monica at the most unique places. Needless to say, these shots will be coming to a fitness magazine near you!. Here are some shots I took with my phone. They don't do the model's justice, but just imagine the finished product.
