The "Secret" Is Out!

MY FIRST MAJOR AD CAMPAIGN

Last year I had the wonderful opportunity to work on a photo shoot that I had to keep a "secret". Well I'm so glad to finally share one of the Secret Active deodorant ad campaigns that's out now!  In addition to a glimps of what went on behind the scenes. 

Would you believe in the 21 years of being a makeup artist (yes, 21... LOL!)  that this is my first major accomplishment?  Now yes I have worked on tons of commercial projects but I was either an assistant or it didn't get as much exposure as this. So I'm like a kid walking on air. 

Makeup by Chenese Bean. Fashion styling by Julie Willis Long. Model Kiara Jackson. 

Behind "Pretty In Pink"

​The story behind my "Pretty In Pink" trio lip collection...

22 years this coming January was the scariest and emotional moment of my life. My mom had informed me and my two other siblings that she was diagnosed with breast cancer and she later had to get a mastectomy.

Several years after that my aunt (my moms older sister) was diagnosed as well. And since then October being "Breast Cancer Awareness Month" has always meant more to me than just something to do and talk about but also SUPPORT! Which I've done so in many ways both personal and professional. Both privately and publicly.

So in honor of them and to the rest of the women in my family (deceased and those alive & well). This was my way to make a difference!

And lastly ladies and gents... get your exam!

My family...
