My very first non television makeup job was two years ago doing grooming for an LRG campaign with photographer Kareem Black.  It was an incredible experience, with one of the images from that shoot ending up on a billboard in Times Square.  I would say that I’d always dreamed of having work in Times Square, but the truth is that everything happened so fast that I never really had a chance to think that far ahead.  Two years later, I’ve got my second billboard with a promo for the MTV show ‘It’s on with Alexa Chung’

Nothing but lips for this – Which was so much fun!  It was great to get to get a chance to experiment with different colors and textures – Especially since it’s not every day that I get a request to create something like an icy blue pucker.

Last week I took a trip to Times Square, and despite sitting on a cinderblock for 20 minutes while refusing to move out of the way so a newly married couple could take their wedding photos in front of the screen – I didn’t get to see the promo for myself.  Allegedly it’s still running because Kareem has a video of himself standing in front of the jumbo tron (He also shot this billboard).  I’m also told that you can also catch it during The Hills (Good looking out Jenni!).

Anyway, Kareem’s video is below.  And all three promo’s can be viewed in the video section of this site
