I asked Gaby to model my scarves and this is what she came up with for the Gemini scarf! If you visit us over the holidays, you’ll see us silk screening our spring batch.

One of my first paintings inspired of course by my biggest muse, my daughter (who is on the far left and right) and her friend Alice in the center-whose birthday it was at the time. And, of course I included my troll collection…

Jamie did these two makeups on Veronica, a new face at Basic Model Mgmt. She gave her a flawless look, with a creative makeup which even when strong, did not overpower her natural beauty. The eye makeup she used in the photo of Veronica in white was especially beautiful as it was visible but pretty and kept Veronica’s freshness. Both Veronica and Jamie are on the path to an exciting future.

I just can’t get a bad picture of Serena… We photographed her for the class photoshoot. Anastasia did a phenomenal job on her makeup, this is just one of the looks we did on her. The others you will be able to see at a later date when I renew the front page of the professional site, which has now become www.lindamasoneducation.com. This shot started out as bridal, but as you can see it became a slightly retro mixture of the 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s.

We have so many fabulous matte lip colors that Linda wanted to add something with a bit more shine and iridescent to liven up all our mattes. So Galaxy, our new color, has just arrived. It is quite transparent with an undertone of burgundy and a green iridescence, it looks great alone or over any of the lip solos we have.
