Actress Angell Conwell and I go way back. You've seen her in movies like 'Soul Plane', 'Baby Boy', 'The Wash', and most recently on Young & The Restless. She was one of my clients when I used to do fashion styling, and we've been bumping into each other for years now. This last "bump into" at a mutual friend's house gathering we talked makeup, and now we're working together again:) I love Angell's face shape, and her skin is gorgeous, so I was excited to get the opportunity!
Angell was attending an event for Nylon Magazine and she wanted her makeup to pop on the red carpet...and you know I love makeup that pops!! We went for a classic look on the eyes with a bold lip, and I used my favorite Lip Tar stain from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics. Her look rocked that night as you can see.
Angell has a new series called "Family Time" that will launch June 18th on Bounce TV, co-starring Omar Gooding. Keep an eye out for it, it's sure to have you laughing! I have a few more projects coming up with Angell, so stay tuned for more makeup looks! xo
Hairstylist and good friend of mine Rai Bonner of Anais Coiffure needed my services for a themed shoot she wanted to do. I love to test with new photographers and when there is a great concept created, so I was super excited! Here are some behind the scenes look at what we call the "MOD Mannequin"...
I used NARS foundation in Syracuse which is lighter than the model's natural complexion to create the look of wax-like skin. I applied very natural lashes and shaped the brow with a pencil. I also used white eyeliner, Fascinating by MAC, to create the look of eyes with no life, I didn't use any eyeshadows, just bronzer and other powders to contour a little. I also used Lip Tar by Obsessive Compulsive cosmetics in the color Pretty Boy on the lips.
Here she is on the red carpet. I love her quirky style!
