Azu bella at the Latin American Music Awards 2021

It’s Thursday, no?! Let’s throw it backkkk then!

Let’s go back to 2 months back, to April 2021; Latin AMA’s day!

So happy to glam out my boo Azucena Cierco which was not only attending the Latin American Music Awards but also working a segment for the carpet. Azucena (Azu) always; I mean always has such awesome, pure, happy & energetic vibes! It’s always a pleasure working with her!

I first got to meet Azu way way back I want to say in 2016. When Azu came in to host Suelta la Sopa for a week; as the daily host Jorge was out on vacay. Bueno she’s a gemini and i’m a pisces ha! Need I say more!? En cubano? Tremendo rebulu mama! jajaja

Side note* Suelta la Sopa was my first long-term production makeup gig. Speaking as a makeup artist working at Suelta was a gem; it was a full time gig, meaning 5 days a week (mega stable & not often found as a makeup artist) and I was there for 3 years. It was mostly a fun environment, trained me to be a quicker/efficient artist, really offered me many great opportunities to grow as an artist & as a human, opened the doors for me to work with some really great people! Honestly; I'm forever grateful for this chapter of my life.

How I have I’ve been doing Azu’s makeup for a few years now, I know more or less what she’s looking for in the glam process. Azu loves a good glow to the skin, and with the dress color with her tan?! We definitely went glowly!

So here’s a confession: I love using the color wheel (like kinda what canvas artists do) to guide me in achieving glams with bright vivid colors. In Azu’s case, her dress was a nice neon yellow; meaning in the color wheel I “could/should” use purple ? to compliment the color not to compete with it.
