Tamia's 1st Essence Music Festival Superdome Performance

This past weekend, Tamia performed at Essence Music Festival in New Orleans for the first time. When I tell you she did not one but two shows amazingly back to back barely catching her breath in between both, you simply had to be there. Face Atelier, www.faceatelier.com, a canadian based makeup company, sent me some amazing products to ensure that Tamia not only looked good performing but that her makeup look stay put all day. One word, SOLD, there is no doubt that Face Atelier will be a permanent fixture in my kit.

We went with a consistent base look altering eye and lip color for each appearance.

To achieve soft relaxed waves during the day or more coiled curls at night for performances, I used Solano Smooth Curl 450 irons sizes 1" and 3/4". These irons are the best. To make sure Tamis's hairstyles stayed put, I used Mizani-USA.com In-control Workable Holding Spirtz and Shyne Bodifying Sheen Spray. Both are Humidity and frizz Resistant. In Control is power-charged with thermal protective, flexible polymers to make sure your hair is protected from curling iron heat.
