Joining us for the event was model/actress, Chanta Patton, who was Mylah's muse for the day. She started off giving Chanta a clean beauty look that could be worn out with friends, or on the red carpet. Using various products to create the look, Mylah's choice items were brushes by Sonia Kashuk, and the NARS Orgasm Illuminator. She also stressed the importance of building and blending the foundation, as she used the Beauty Blender Sponge to do so.
Lunch was catered and served by celebrity chef, Ameera Leguex. Everyone indulged in delicious thai food, and chocolate covered strawberries, while drinking chilled Vita Coco! Chef Ameera has actually cooked for Rihanna, who is also Mylah's client! She also cooks for Lil Wayne, Keri Hilson, and many more!
After lunch, we were in awe as Mylah did her signature smokey look on Chanta. To make sure the students understood her way of creating, Mylah asked one of the attendees to come up and duplicate the smokey look on the model's left eye. Make up artist Carmen Sacca was chosen, and boy did she do a great job! 
When asked about her make up techniques, or her reasons for doing certain things, Mylah simply said "you have to feel it." "There are no rules to make up, or certain product to make it look that way, it's your intuition." Once Mylah was done with her demo, the workshop attendees where able to work with products from NARS, and Smashbox on the beautiful ladies of LA Models for their portfolios. Photographer Ben Cope made sure he captured the right angles that emphasized the artists' work!
Overall, the day was a huge success, and Mylah really gave the artists a connection to cherish for a long time. She even spent time talking with the young ladies from Girls Inc. about their non-profit, and what they did for their community.
Thank you Mylah, Opus Beauty and our sponsors New Beauty Magazine, Smashbox, NARS, Secret, Cover Girl, Murad, Vita Coco and Box Eight for such a wonderful event!!

We have a guest model attending who you all may recognize from America's Next Top Model. Cycle 9 winner, Saleisha Stowers, will be Mylah's model for the day. If that's not enough, we dug up this Seventeen Magazine cover that Mylah actually worked on with Saleisha back in February 2008. It's now February 2010, and IAS reunites the ladies to work together once again! There will even be free giveaways from Cover Girl cosmetics throughout the day....how ironic, right? This is a workshop that you won't want to miss!!
