CDS - Success!

Some of our favorite models worked an event over the weekend at the Sheraton Chicago. The girls were hired to grab attention and help our client with general trade show assistance and that is exactly what they did. It was hard not to see these promotional models, they were wearing showgirl costumes! Thanks to all of the models that worked CDS for us, you girls were amazing!

ABS 2012!

America's Beauty Show is one of my favorite trade shows of the year and it's coming back to Chicago this weekend! The ABS will be taking over McCormick Place March 3-5 and I can not wait. This is a show for anyone that has an interest in beauty. It's the one trade show that you can learn new beauty trends, buy new products, watch demonstrations, and see all the new products. It's heaven for the promotional models that get to work. The models might have their hair styled, cut, colored, or they may be demonstrating a new product. We have a couple clients for this show and are so happy to provide some of our best Chicago talent.

Never Do These Things With Your Make Up

I have worked in this industry for a long time and have seen quite a bit. I have seen models at trade shows, brand ambassadors working street teams, models at special events, working liquor promotions and even on the runway. Most are obviously gorgeous but we have all made fashion mistakes and even had make up mess ups. Here are 5 things you should never do when doing your make up...

1. Don't wear the wrong color foundation. This is so obvious, and always looks awful. DON"T do it!


2. Using a concealer that is lighter then your foundation. This actually makes your blemishes more obvious instead of hiding them.


3. Make sure you check your lipgloss in the right light. If you will be in bright lights at a convention center tone it down, if it's an event at a bar brighten it up.


4. Wearing just 1 color of eyeshadow for your whole eye. Blend! Lighter colors towards the top, darkest in the crease.


5. Too much make up in general. Keep it natural, everyone appreciates a naturally beautiful girl.

There is a time and place to wear fun colors and extreme make up and lashes but most of the time clients appreciate the natural look. Have fun working your upcoming events and keep these tips in mind.
