Philadelphia Fashion Week

Ok so I was invited to do makeup for Philly Fashion week by celebrity MUA, mentor and friend, Dan Bayu. In the show, we worked exclusively for designer Christopher J. Brown, who does Closet for Christobal.

In a few short words, I would describe his line and fun, flavorful, and flamboyant. Definitely not for the fashionably shy! lol 

The makeup look was inspired by a Dior runway look, and was directed by Mr. Bayu himself. It was a blast, and all the models were just a fun and friendly as the clothing! lol 

Closet for Christobal was the only one at the couture show with his own makeup/hair team and models. I was truly honored to be a part of that team. 

Below are two unfiltered pics I took with my camera phone of my work. I also added some pics of the models on the run wearing Closet for Christobal. The hair was done by Mack Stylist LLC (http://www.mackstylist.com/index2.php). The very last picture is the creative mind  himself walking down the runway for the finale , and you can see Mr. Dan Bayu peaking his head from behind the finale model lol.  Unfortunately I had to leave shortly after the models' makeup was completed, but I heard the show was phenomenal, and I had a great time working with everyone.

Nikki Jay Makeover: Sassy Makeup

This is a makeover I did on a beautiful lady who wanted to step out of her comfort zone and get some pictures taken by a professional photographer (Jazzy Images). Apparently this was a secret dream of hers but she suppressed it for over a year because of nerves! lol I think we can all relate to that! From the night before working with her, to the day of, she was contemplating not going through with it. 

Nonetheless, after receiving two stunningly gorgeous makeup looks, her jitters soon turned into a well of confidence that propelled her to do what she was afraid to do for so long. This is the miraculous power of a great makeover!! It can definitely awaken a confidence you never knew you had! Even enough for you to get the nerve to pursue something you have been putting off for years! Try it, you will be amazed a what an awesome makeover can do! Have any of you ever had this experience?
