Next Top Model...

Last month, I was given the opportunity to serve as the model for our Art Direction and Photo Styling class here at Stephens. The concept of the shoot was based around an urban, up and coming fashion stylist. We were granted the opportunity to shoot at the Regional Columbia Airport.
I had so much fun participating in this shoot, and was appreciative to be asked to do so. The team did an amazing job. Here are some of the final looks!

Practice Makes Perfect...

This past Saturday I was one of two makeup artist for a fashion show at Stephens. The show was presented by model and Alumna of Stephens D'era Hall. I had a blast doing the models makeup and being in the fashion field atmosphere.

I snapped a few pics of the models and they will be uploaded soon, but until then I have a photo for the outfit I wore that day. I was very "MAC" inspired.

Enjoy! -Coco
