I WON! - Sheri Vegas Makeup Artist Giveaway

 So, I NEVER EVER win anything. Well I take that back, I did win 10 CDs from Virgin when I was in high school (but that was over a decade though so that doesn't count - lol).

When I saw the status from Sheri Vegas Makeup Artist I was ECSTATIC (btw you should totally check out her work - AMAZING)!! So I hurriedly messaged her my addy and my package arrived the week I came back from the Philippines and I hadn't had a chance to take pics etc to share with you guys.

So without further ado.... here is what I won!

The Sydney International Spa & Beauty Expo is a yearly event that also host the Face 2 Face Makeup Awards/Competitions. This year, for the first time, they opened up a new category for Beauty Editorial Photographic. I have been meaning to enter a makeup competition but felt like a live competition was stretching it just a little too far for me and thought that this new category would be a great way to start.

I assembled my dream team for my concept consisting of:

Robert Coppa Photographer
Priya Chandra (hair) - hair extensions provided by Raven Waves Extensions
Daniella Jukic (Stylist/Wardrobe/Fashion Designer)
Simone Luker (Model)

I had had this concept in my head for a while now and I was so excited to finally shoot it and submit it for the competition. The final images reflect my style as a makeup artist and my style of images.
I couldn't have asked for a better team and even though I didn't win I am so happy with the final images (and may even have some big news about them very soon - keep an eye out on this blog :))

So, for those who were curious as to who won, here are the winners (absolutely LOVE 2nd and 3rd place - stunning entries!):

1st Place: Vivianne Tran

2nd Place: Alex Ouston

3rd Place: Kate Robinson

 Other entries that I enjoyed were:

Sheri Vegas

Lara Quinn

Carmelle Watkins

I also LOVE Mary Li's entry and I DO have a picture of it but I won't show it just yet as she has some big plans for that shoot. It is AMAZING though and if you head on over to her facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/MaryLiMakeup) you can see the face chart for her entry!
