ARTIST SPOTLIGHT featuring Cara Silverman and Brittany Diaz

ME: Good evening everyone, we are here at the DL Lounge for "Candy Rock" featuring the makeup creations by Sara Silverman and Brittany Diaz. First, we will begin with Sara Silverman. Good evening Sara.
CARA: Good evening

ME: Let's talk about tonight's show. Do you have a specific theme?
CARA: Bright, vibrant CANDY! I've gotten a lot of fun, unique pieces, including real candy and scrap booking supplies that I'm going to incorporate into tonight's looks.

ME: Cool, how long have you been a MUA?
CARA: Professionally, about 3 years now, but I've been playing with make-up since preschool.

ME: Herbert Fox is directly involved with tonight's show, he has been promoting events for over 20 years, what's it like to work with a legend?
CARA: Very exciting! This is my first time directly working with him and I look forward to meeting him in person.

ME: I will try and get a photo for you. As a MUA what can a model do to help your creativity in such an extravagant show like the one this evening?
CARA: It helps when a model knows her angles, and uses a variety of them on the runway so that the wonderful photographers can capture different views of their faces. also, I love a model with good energy who really makes the outfit, makeup, hair, everything just come alive.

ME: Cool, I want to take lots of photos showing off your talents. I want you to tell the models that we will be taking a few pictures together for the blog immediately following the show. If anyone is interested in hiring you for a makeup job, what is your contact information including your website?
CARA: I will certainly let them know my email is cara.silverman@gmail.com which I use for bookings and I have my fan page on FB: www.facebook.com/eye2cheekchic - which is more current right now, as my website is currently undergoing a major redesign update.

ME: Great, does your page have your pricing information on it as well or can they contact you directly for pricing information?
CARA: They can contact me directly. I try to keep my pricing somewhat customizable which varies greatly depending on the project, number of looks, level of difficulty, etc.

ME: Great, before we go, do you have any last words for the audience that you would like to share?
CARA: I hope that everyone enjoys the show and the very colorful, spunky, unique looks that are planned! It's an honor to work with Candy-Rock Couture and I'm looking forward to a fabulous show!

Cara departs as she is still preparing for the show. Joining us now is tonight's second makeup artist, Brittany Diaz.
