Essence Music Festival 2010; 2nd Day

Today's highlight was doing makeup on the amazing award winning actress Victoria Rowell @victoriarowell Not only is she a soap opera icon but an author of "Secrets Of A Soap Opera Diva" and "The Women Who Raised Me" . Victoria also has a single "Stink of Blood with a Pinesol Chasah" available on ITUNES. She gave the audience a sample on the Essence Cyber Lounge stage.

Another powerful lady I got to work with was Entrepreneur and author Melissa Dawn Johnson @brandme a Global Branding and Personal Transformation Strategist. She offer so many great tips while on stage so if anyone wants to know how to brand themselves I suggest purchasing her book "Brand Me: Make Your Mark: Turn Passion Into Profit". Wasn't able to get pictures with Melissa sometimes it's hard when working back 2 back, having to clean brushes, in stay on time. But she looked amazing.
