I was asked by
my Sands to assist with makeup and whatever else needed to be done for the "Walk" Runway Fashion Show past Sunday, October 24, 2010. The show was put on by Iced Crystals and Jelly's World Entertainment and was held at the Charles H. Wright African American Museum in Downtown Detroit. The show was a great experience. I was expecting to mainly work behind the scenes assisting with makeup application and being a runner(assisting where needed). I also was asked to assist with seating people which utilitized my previous skills with customer service and waiting tables. Knowing how to deal with people are skills everyone needs.
I began the day running backstage to make sure all the models were made up by the main MUAs. I also got a chance to assist a MUA, Ambrose who I find to be a great photographer. I first met him during the Salon Showcase for Detroit Fashion Week. I learned that he also does hair and makeup. It was great assisting and watching him work because I learned so much. He showed me a different way of applying foundation and also a different way of contouring and highlighting the face. I have been applying my own foundation different because of what he has shown me. He also made me work on an area I need to improve, lash application. I would love to assist him again.

I also meet some other MUAs that I hope to do more networking with. They all did a fabulous job on all the models and
LaShana Boyd- Lawson did a great job as head Makeup Artist.

Aisha Brewer was the Executive Assistant of the show. My Sands Aisha Brewer makeup was done by LaShana and dress by her mom. She looked fabulous.
