JoChowMakeup: Rapper, Songwriter, Model, Artist: Mindy Suga!!!

What: Photoshoot for Album Cover

Where: Santa Clara Studio

This shoot happened all the way in July! WHERE has the time gone?!? Again, another perfect opportunity to push out this post in time for Halloween :)

George had contacted me earlier to see if I'd be interested in helping out with the makeup prep. Some key notes I took in from George's e-mails to help create Mindy's look:

"The shoot is suppose to deliver some dramatic images for Mindy Suga's (stage name) cd cover.

She a rapper and models. She's the model doing the Pris shoot:

MM is on the site so you can get her look.

I'm dressing her in a long white velvet hooded cape with red latex

looking lingerie under the cape. Obviously, I'll need the eyes to hold

up to that outfit. With maybe a blue/black lipstick and

fingernails I want something to make people notice her.She'll probably

have some gold accessories. I want a wayout eye

look; so, I'm thinking either white to gold or maybe white to red eye

color. But, I'll want your input."

Alright!!! I was stoked to create a "way out there" look, and was even more happy when I met Mindy for the first time. It was so easy to work with her, and her enthusiasm for her work could not be beat. Hearing about her story and how she got started in her music and modeling track was amazing, and it still brings a smile to my face. Mindy's personality is contagious, and anyone who meets her just ends up rooting for her and cheering her on :) I had a chance to work with Mindy again during another photoshoot, and had the same awesome experience.
