Transforming Vicki Valencourt


I’m really excited about this new editorial that we’ve been stewing on for a while called “The Glamorous Rebel”. Â I caught a flight to Chicago where I met up with Makeup artist Tinaya Weems and model Vicki Valencourt to plan, execute and shoot it. Somewhere along the way we got to talking about Spring Glam and fashion and whats going to be hot this year… so they’re going to help show you a few tips to help you get your own SPRING GLAM look that will not only make you the life of the deck parties and boat soirees but also the life of any spring situation (flings included).
