The year 2017 marks the first ever Charleston Bridal Week! This year marks my 11th year doing makeup backstage for Bridal Runway, as a member of #teamabp. Tuesday evening, I had the pleasure of working with lots of gorgeous faces including this doll, model Anna Baginski.
This year was such a nice change of pace, as the shows were scheduled in the evening in wonderful venues with all the wedding accoutrement, rather than the typical Saturday call time of 6am in the tents! Whew. What a welcome change!!
It has been such a pleasure to participate as a member of the backstage makeup team. I continue to learn so many new things each year with each show! Charleston Fashion Week has grown to 40 + shows each year and team members, including myself, get an opportunity to work with a variety of shows each night! We are required to learn and practice each and every look, as well as, work as a cohesive team of peers coming together from a variety of different backgrounds in the beauty industry. So it’s an incredible opportunity to learn and grow your skill set with a great group of talented individuals coming together to complete a massive work of art!
Team ABP is under the direction of Ashley Brooke Perryman and it continues to be a wonderful and invaluable experience.
