Model For A Day

these are photo's of the process my friend, Nikki, and I undertook, very happily, today as part of Luminato. We start with the before pictures, obviously, and continue to the end. I took the pictures and thus I'm not in most of them! Please read the below post, related to the photo's.


One the very rare occasion that I hang out back stage at a fashion show I always look on in fascination as the models sit (usually hunched over a BlackBerry) getting their hair and makeup done. They seem oblivious to it, annoyed or bored. Some models like it, while others are just going through a regular work day that simply entails getting done up frantically for back to back shows.
However, for us mere mortals the idea of getting our hair and makeup done is heaven - at least for me. I love the feeling of a brush sweeping across my eyelids, and even having mascara expertly applied to my thin lashes is luxurious.
Lucky for me L’Oreal broke out their team of experts to pamper any lovely ladies walking through Yonge-Dundas Square for Luminato, Toronto’s arts festival. Despite the hot, muggy day I, and many others, couldn’t pass up getting done up by a professional. The event runs until Wednesday June 11.
