To continue with my series called Recreating Icons…My Iconic Series; I would like to share some images from a photoshoot I was part of in January 2010. When I talk about a True Icon…I mean someone who has made an impact for generations…be it, in fashion, makeup, hair statements, music etc. Diana Ross is definitely a Beauty Icon in her own right. I am inspired by many things about her sense of style, especially when she was a young woman. She chose to enhance her features, rather than minimize them. I also love how graceful she always looked. These particular images were inspired by the “young” Diana Ross.

Tap into the Fabulous you!!! 
Your makeup is flawless and I remember seeing the girls at Pamela’s wedding and thinking that their makeup really complimented their facial features and looked professional. I’m looking forward to seeing more from this ICONIC Series.
You have a true gift. Never stop doing what you do.
