Celebrity makeup artist Dani Fonseca, an integral part of the Mehron family, inspires imaginative creations through her makeup artistry, demonstrations and seminars. Just recently Dani and her 2012 The Body of Art interns inspired us in another way. These astounding interns decided they wanted to give back by creating an event where they could support others in need by using their makeup talents. They chose to donate their services to Bottomless Closet in NYC. This fabulous organization is committed to boosting women's self-esteem and self-confidence so they can enter and succeed in the workforce and improve the quality of their lives. Some of the women the organization aids struggle with poverty, homelessness, abuse, and even incarceration. As highlighted on last Friday's Good Day New York, Bottomless Closet helps them achieve success through a women helping women program that includes providing business attire, interview preparation, professional development, financial management and personal enrichment.
Enhancing The Positive Self-Image of the Women of Bottomless Closet NYC Through Makeup
Building upon the women helping women concept, Dani's interns conceived an event where they could show the women of Bottomless Closet NYC how to create an easy, clean, appropriate interview makeup look. When we learned of this wonderful event, we wanted to lend our support to these well-deserving women by donating Mehron products.
"Mehron's Celebre Pro HD Makeup was used and demonstrated on each client to create a light or medium coverage flawless finish, and each client got to take her matching color foundation home," said Dani. "The ladies were so thrilled. I overheard one woman say she lost her home AND her job from Hurricane Sandy and was feeling really down. This seminar truly lifted her spirits and made her feel really good. It is because of stories like that of this woman that the interns and I did the event."
There are ways you can help too. It is spring cleaning time! If you have clothes you no longer need, consider donating them to the women of Bottomless Closet. There are also plenty of volunteer opportunities. Contact the organization today at 212-563-2499.
Thank you for the inspiration interns!!!!
