Wednesday, June the 5th, is definitely a night that I will never forget! I had the pleasure of attending " Summer 2013 Beauty and Fashion Trend Presentation" that was held at Neiman Marcus. The show was full of elegance, style, and beautiful colors ( thanks to the makeup!)
Anne Vincent, Market Stylist for Vogue
I was standing around mingling with people when Anne Vincent approached me and asked me about my pants. I must say my heart skipped a beat! She was so sweet, so composed and had an amazing english accent that just made her that much major. She referred to my pants as fun while I admired her amazing ensemble.
Blair Patterson, Estee Lauder Global Makeup Director
When I signed up to get my makeup done with Estee Lauder's expert makeup artists, I had no idea who I was going to get! I sat in my chair as I chit-chatted with Lacey Salas, a talented makeup artist who EVERYONE needs to know about! When Blair Patterson himself made his way over to us. The first thing he asked me was if I was wearing fake eyelashes, after answering a somewhat nervous and starstruck yes he smiled and stated that I had done a very good job with them. A sort of relief came over me as I received approval from one of the most important names in the makeup industry. Needless to say that eyelash question was the opening line to a full blown, one on one, conversation with Blair Patterson.
Not only did he tell me a little bit of his start in this industry but he also gave me incredible makeup tips.
He taught me how to create the perfect wing on the corners of my eyes with a simple q-tip. And opened my eyes to what I considered my nemesis this whole time, eyeshadow.
I was so excited with my look that I honestly did not want to wipe it all of that night before I want to bed. And maybe I didn't. All in all, Blair Patterson was a sweet, down to earth, person who inspired me to pursue my dreams as a stylist!
As I had mentioned earlier, the incredible Lacey Salas was also one of the reasons behind my flawless face at the end of that night. She is a local and is from Fort Worth just like me, so of course we clicked! EVERYONE NEEDS TO GO CHECK HER PAGE OUT! She has been in the makeup industry for years!!!!! And her work is FLAWLESS.
The following is the link to her website:
She is extremely sweet and talented!
