Every month we get to sing the praises and
share the awesomeness with a special spotlight called
H.F.I.C. - Head Fanny In Charge!
On deck this month we have
Makeup Artist extraordinaire
Nadine Vendryes
This Jamaican beauty met up with our very own Vintage Wondergirl
during her Top Model days in Miami...
The rest is vintage history!
Nadine's larger than life personality is only matched by her unbelievable skill
as one of the industry's top makeup artists.
Some of the faces she's beat into submission include:
Florence and the Machine, Neyo, Trina, and
Miss Lady Marmalade herself,the legendary Patti Labelle.
Just to namedrop a few!
Backstage at The Celebrity Duets show
Major ad campaigns and editorial spreads for Akademiks, Ocean Drive, Missbehave, Complex, House of Dereon and Lucky magazines
have benefited from her expert brushstrokes.
