I meant to blog about this much sooner seeing how I worked the event the last weekend of April. A lot has been going on the past few months so I've definitely been keeping busy and I'm grateful for that. I was contacted by the founder of Steelo Cosmetics through Model Mayhem to do some freelance work at the For Sisters Only Convention at the Charlotte Convention Center. I was lucky to have that Saturday off so I jumped at the opportunity. For anyone who lives in Charlotte, North Carolina or the surrounding areas knows this is a large event in the Black community, vendors from all over Charlotte area come out and promote their local businesses. I've lived here for quite a few years and I would hear so much about it on the radio, I was truly looking forward to actually working with a makeup vendor. Steelo Cosmetics is makeup line based out of Baltimore, Maryland and their line is specifically made for women of diverse skin tones. The foundation is mineral based and comes in a variety of shades making it so that every woman can find a match be it if they have yellow, golden, or red undertones. They also have a large array or mineral and pressed eyeshadows, blushes, lipsticks, lipgloss, (which I loved!) lipliners, and makeup brushes. The booth stayed busy pretty much the entire day, I thought there would be some moments of down time but I guess when people see makeup they are drawn in and want product applied. I had a great time working with Gina and Rich and it was a amazing learning experience. I hope to have the chance to work with Steelo Cosmetics in the future! Here a few photos I was able to take on my iPhone during the day:
