Here we go...The 2011 CHANEL Holiday Event Crawl

Every year I prepare for my World Of CHANEL and all that THAT implies.

Starting in September I put on my "Double Cs" and tour the Mid-Atlantic for the rest of the year to showcase and "show-off" the heritage and luxury with Makeup Collections that inspire, Skincare Products that deliver, and Fragrances that entice the senses complements of the House Of CHANEL!

Appearing now...at a CHANEL counter near you!

Body In Motion...

Working with photographer Jonathan Brandon always brings together a fun and creative day. For this particular shoot, I had the opportunity to meet fitness model Laura Wright.

CHANEL National Makeup Artist John Fussel

I am so honored and excited to have been selected to be a part of the CHANEL Makeup Artistry Team working with CHANEL National Makeup Artist John Fussel while he visited the Mid-Atlantic region last week!

John Fussell has in almost 20 years in the beauty industry and has donned many hats...Stylist, Makeup Artist, and Artistry Trainer. Having trained extensively with the House of CHANEL, he brings a multitude of talents to his role as CHANEL'S National Makeup Artist. Being a part of this amazing series of events and meeting and working side by side with John was truly one of the highlights of my career.
 

We all had the opportunity to showcase The CHANEL 2011 Fall Color Collection and experience it through the talent and artistry that John brought to our team.

Looking forward to having him return to our area in January 2012!

The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. - Abraham Lincoln

Lincoln was so right and I took full advantage of this day I was given!
I've been so lucky to be busy with all of my June Brides and the beautiful wedding day makeup looks I've helped create for everyone. It was fun to sprinkle in something a little different...

I was given the opportunity to step out of my "Train Case" a bit and do some fun character makeup for the June 15th edition of Style Weekly Magazine. We shot at deLux Diner & Lounge located in the historic fan district of Richmond for The 2011 Bar Guide issue. Bartender Otto Bartsch of deLux and Bandito's Burrito Lounge was a really good sport as I transformed him into a modern day Abraham Lincoln. As you can see, he looked amazing and was a lot of fun to work with.
