BEAUTY: Spring Forward With Your Makeup

Read Issue 

Here in New York Metro Area we have been experiencing gorgeous spring weather. So it was easy to get in the mood the day of the photo shoot. When CeCi Johnson, Founder of CeCi New York text me that she wanted me to be a part of  CeCiStyle Magazine spring shoot I was elated. Spring, is one of my favorites seasons, beautiful weather and bloomed flowers; some of my favorites are tulips, bleeding hearts, anthurium, and alpinia purpurata.

CeCi managed once again to put together an amazing team of women to create the look. One of my bestie Melissa Paldino worked on hair, Helga Schaefer was the amazing photographer, and her assistant was a twitter friend that I finally got a chance to meet in work with, Andrea Langer.

Behind The Scene w/ Indian Dreams

@cecinewyork @melpalhairmua

This morning photo shoot at Ceci New York started off with a challenge: RAIN and lots of it. But the show must go on and everybody made it on time. The look that Ceci came up with was called “Indian Dreams”. CeCi sent over a inspiration visual board earlier in the week so I was excited because I love doing Indian weddings. I always love the jewels and strong bold colors from the sari.The bolder the colors the stronger the makeup on my Indian brdies.
The two talent of the day were CeCi Johnson & Reshma Shetty. Both ladies were getting two totally different makeup looks. I actually selected really bold eye colors for Ceci makeup and on Reshma I used traditional bollywood makeup colors (gold &red).
The photoshoot location was at the Spice Market New York in the Meatpacking District. The ambiance was a perfect spot to shoot because of all the Southeast Asian decor. Bradley was very receptive about having us over and accommodate us throughout the shoot. I have never eaten at this restaurant but I’m sure to visit. The aroma of the food made it very hard to pay attention to what I was there for…makeup.
I was glad that hairstylist Melissa Paldino was on set with me…luv her. She gave Reshma hair volume and soft body waves. A great look for Reshma; very sexy, feminine, and effortless…
Can’t wait to see the pics in about 3 weeks. Sorry I couldn’t post pics of Reshma just yet but after her wedding in March and approval of the pictures I want to post of her from her team I’ll be sure to share. What a blast today was minus the rain. I loved everything…clothes, the jewels, the hair, the makeup, the location, and the team.
