| These three Marines were in attendance to support the 18th Annual U.S. Marine Corps. Toys for Tots Fundraiser. |
What a pleasure and honor to work with Zack Reed, The U.S. Marine Corps., Tre Sorelle Boutique, Fresh Brewed Tees, Erie Shore Photography, Maureen Richard, Erin Haney from MAC Cosmetics, Britt Miller from Aveda Summit Mall, Allen Fee from Q104, Gary Mandalfino owner of Salon Mandalfino and Fox 8 News anchors Wayne Dawson, Melissa Reid and Stacey Frey at a beautiful venue Vada Restaurant and Lounge. Unite This City works hard to make these very special events come to life and tonight was a great success. Brandy Bright head of Public Relations and Sales for Unite This City partnered with City Councilman Zack Reed to organize this entire fashion show. Of course, the general public gets to see the finished product but what about the people behind the scenes? Well, since I got to work as a Make-Up Artist and Blogger for the event.....I captured some images to highlight the hours spent preparing for this incredible evening.
The day begins at Salon Mandalfino for hair and make-up. A huge thank you to Gary for allowing us to work here. Maureen, Erin, Britt and I wasted no time getting the models all dolled up for the show. They were all so beautiful, kind and patient. We wanted to implement the MAC and Aveda winter collections on our ladies and they were great sports for letting us have our way :) Take a look......

| This models lips stole the show! Red can be a difficult color to wear for some skin tones. It was crucial for me to show that where there is a will, there is a way! |
