A day with Chacha Cosmetics at the National Women's Show


Chacha Cosmetics is a new Canadian based luxury makeup brand and also offers a unique collection of eyeshadows, lipglosses and primers. Created by model/makeup artist Aisha Chacha, Chacha cosmetics has done faces of many models on runways in Canada and the United States.
So when I got the invite to work with her on The National woman show, I could not dare say no.

 Sponsoring the Rent Frock Repeat fashion show , I met up with Aisha and the other makeup artists downtown  Toronto. Rent Frock Repeat offers ladies on a budget, the chance to wear high end couture dresses at a fraction of the retail price. All you need to do is sign up, search through a vast amount of amazing dresses, rent the one you wish to wear, and after you wear it..bring it back!

Racks of couture dresses lined the walls backstage including dresses by Badgily Mischka and Nicole Miller. We had a great variety of beautiful models including model and Miss Eternity 2nd runner up Kaila Izzard who's makeup I had done in the past.  Aisha provided us with face charts that when completed, complimented the models perfectly.



In front of a crowd full of women, the girls rocked their frocks down the runway. Seeing the faces that  we did work the runway, made us smile like proud mama bears!

After the show I had the chance to look around and check out some other exhibitors. Inspire cosmetics, Vasanti, Gella, Smash Box and of course Curl Solutions were also there to give out free makeovers.


But the real star of the show was Eric Braeden a.k.a Mr. Victor Newman from the show Young and the Restless. He had women gushing over him like he was Justin Beiber.!


I had an amazing time at the exhibition! It was great finally working with Aisha,  this pint size diva is one every makeup artist should meet at least ones. Her dedication to the beauty industry is undeniable. Not only is she always adding new product to the Chacha line, but is always willing to share opportunities with other artists. Make sure to visit Chacha Cosmetics for their boxing day sale at  the Pantages Hotel  December 26, 2011(2000 Victoria Str, Toronto, 5th floor Unit 8)  from 2pm to 8pm.

Back stage with the Miss Eternity 2011 finalists

WWW.MISSETERNITY.COM

 The name screams pageant but, with a fushion of models, designers and fashion, its a model and designer competition like no one in Toronto has done before.  For the second year in a row, models compete in the Miss Eternity Fashion Showcase for the ultimate title of Miss Eternity 2011.

Invited to be one of the makeup artist on set for the promo shoot, I got to meet all the pretty models up close and personal. Some were shy and quiet, while others displayed moments of shear Diva-tude (not mentioning any names).

MafiaPhotography was on site as the photographer for the evening. Director/Co-ordinator Temo Primrose Gare was the best hostess, not only making sure the girls were fitted with the cutest summer dressed, but also insuring we were well fed.

Check out the work I did on these 3 lovely ladies Kaila, Hema and Kay

I had a great time, mingling with the girls, some of who are fairly new at modelling and others who have been at it for years. From what I have seen so far the competition seems fierce!
 With a  such a diverse set of girls, the only way to decide a winner would be to go to the show.
