TEALA DUNN GLOWS AT THE 2011 NAACP IMAGE AWARDS

Last Friday, I got to work with Teala Dunn from the TBS hit show "Are We There Yet?" to get her red carpet ready for the 2011 NAACP Image Awards. Not only was Teala walking the carpet, but she was also presenting at the live telecast. From meeting her dad and sister in the lobby to spending a few hours with Teala and her mom in the hotel room while doing her makeup & hair -- the whole experience was nothing less than perfect and one of the most fun times I've ever had while working!

Teala was so easy to work on with great skin, beautiful features and an open mind about trying different looks. With a classy event like the Image Awards, we wanted to keep her makeup young, glowing nd fresh with a focus on the eyes and a hairdo that was easy and bouncy. I think we accomplished just that. See the photos from the red carpet below and let me know what you think!

I can't wait to see the Dunns again and work on the beautiful Teala! Stay tuned for blog posts about this rising star! Thanks so much to Jessica Cohen, Teala's publcist for hooking us up! XOXO

Modern Family's Costume Designer, Alix Friedberg received an award at this year's Costume Designers Guild Awards and Sarah Hyland was on hand to present the award to her colleague and friend. Of course, I was on hand to do her makeup and hair for the event.

Sarah went for a fresh and soft look because her beautiful WTB dress had this pretty girly floral print. We put her hair up in a full curly ponytail with mauve shadow on the eyes and pink cheeks and lips.

SUPERMODEL MEETS SUPERCAR

The 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue was released on February 15th and it is one smokin' hot magazine! Not only is my good friend Kate Upton and client Beach Bunny Swimwear in the issue, but there was a very special ad for the LEXUS LFA with supermodel Rianne Ten Haken shot by Yu Tsai that I did make up for. It was quite an adventure shooting this ad, because it rained all day long but the end result is amazing. Check out the ad and behind-the-scenes video below. Really cool!
