There is a wonderful charity event that my mother, family friends and I attend each year in Augusta, Georgia during the Masters. In their efforts to fundraise to benefit children who are born with special hearts, Heart and Sole holds a luncheon and fashion show featuring a well-known designer where all of the proceeds from the clothing sold are donated to the foundation. I was blessed to work the event last year alongside Diana Shelton from Stila and her team to make up the models. It’s such a fun event with amazing people all working for a wonderful cause. I truly look forward to it every April.
The great thing is that my mother brought the same enthusiasm and idea to Austin! I was thrilled to collaborate with the ladies from Tibi to do the makeup for the First Tee Fore Fashion event that was in October. The luncheon and fashion show proceeds were donated to the First Tee of Austin affiliate where young children who may not have the resources or access to play golf can learn the game and values that can have life-long benefits.
The fashion show was Tibi’s Resort Collection for 2013. http://www.tibi.com/shop/new-arrivals?gclid=CLKqtInFpLQCFWaoPAodE2wAvg If you click on the link, you can see that the collection paid homage to the sea with it’s graphic prints and use of bold color. Since the clothes had their own voice, I wanted to keep the makeup clean and simple with just a hint of coral on the cheek and lip. I had so much fun backstage and hope to do more events like this around Austin!
Major thanks to Lauren Davis of Hint of Shimmer for assisting with the makeup!
