BACKSTAGE BEAUTY WITH ASHUNTA SHERIFF AND THE DIORSHOW ARTISTS

Sometimes in life you get opportunities that you just can't miss out on!

Ashunta Sheriff is a fabulous makeup artist and industry leader with a devoted list of A-list clientele.  She has worked for companies such as MAC, Laura Mercier, and is currently a national makeup artist for Dior Beauty.  She just recently did Keri Hilson makeup for the Billboard Music Awards in Vegas and I have to say Keri looked fabulous! 

I had the opportunity to attend a Christian Dior Backstage Beauty class at Macy's.  The Diorshow Artists began with introducing themselves.  Then a voulnteer from the class sat in the makeup chair and they began to explain and apply some of the skincare products.  Then they introduced Ashunta Sheriff and she began to tell us about the makeup products, some of her experiences and began to apply makeup to the volunteer.


She told us of an expereince when working with Sharon Stone.  She showed her a different way to use blush to highlight the certain areas of the face to look more alive when you don't look or feel it.     



Overall it was a great experience. I wish I would have taken a picture of the finished look with my camera.  She did a fabulous job. I do love their glosses. They are not sticky like MAC and Victoria's Secret. I would like to see Dior expand their colors for their Diorskin Airflash Spray Makeup.  If my friend who invited me below would have volunteered, they would not have had a color for her.

 


As you can see below the color on me is too light and it was the darkest color in the Airflash makeup.  The Airflash does feel great on.  Diorskin Forever Flawless & Moist Extreme Wear does have more options but it is still limited also.  More brands need to have foundation colors for Women of Color.
