Wow...wow...wow! What an honor to be in the presence of such beauty greatness! I am telling you ladies...it was all that and more. If you are interested in makeup artistry then you should try...no...I IMPLORE YOU to get to one of the remaining American Beauty Tour Shows. There are three dates left:
New Orleans November 4
Toronto November 25
Las Vegas December 2
The New Orleans show is a one of a kind benefit featuring Billy and hairstyling icon Ruth Roche with the proceeds going to Habitat For Humanity. So if you are anywhere near those three cities - get on it. Seriously.
Now back to today's show!! I felt like we needed more time! Tips and tricks are invaluable in any industry and boy did he give em!! I learned more there in 3 hours than I ever did anywhere else. He is humble and most of all, approachable. Many makeup artists that are at his level have their noses in the air and are kicking people off their heels. Billy will give you a hand.
The almost 3 hours FLEW by and I was left wanting more! As he worked on this GAWGUS model (see the finished product on the right), he talked shop and dished on tips that were sprinkled with stories and Billy-isms. The man is funny y'all...so funny, down to earth (umm...can you say rare??) and sweet too! He hugged me like we were old friends and made me feel like a star honey! I had a blast and I met new friends too as I ran into Erin from Scandalous Beauty who is one of the newest members of the Beauty Blog Network and we talked for a while.
So a huge thank you to Michael DeVellis and Karen Wyss at the Powder Group for inviting me and to Mr. B for being such an effin DOLL! I will have a new contest for November ladies...I will be giving away a FULL SET of Billy B. paintBrushes retailed at $250 so stay TUNED!
Stay Pretty!!
That Billy--he looks so devious in that picture!
And I am jealous that you got to meet him in person! lol.
