Here is your V.I.P. pass – a sneak peek of the limited edition 2009 Maybelline Calendar. The calendar will give you access to true New York glamor, your front row seat to beauty that is uniquely Maybelline. Photographer Kenneth Willardt and Makeup Artist Charlotte Willer gives you 12 amazing frames of what New York City is known for.
Models Adriana Lima, Kemp Muhl, Julia Stegner, Anna Wang and Jessica White all embody the Maybelline world of beauty and the Maybelline woman. Each makeup look gave me a certain feel I get when in NYC; electrifying, seductive, delicate, bright, strong, nightlife, fashion-forward, luxurious, sleek, confident, stylish, and vibrant. I am so excited about all of the makeup looks and can’t wait to add some of the products to my makeup kit.

There is a hidden gem located in “The Big Easy”. Celebrity Makeup Artist Brandy Gomez-Duplessis. Brandy may not be a native New Orleanian, but this tough skinned east coaster has always loved makeup. She flirted with makeup, hair, and fashion as a young girl and this was something that kept her occupied being an only child. Because her parents are from Honduras she felt that they didn’t understand her hunger for beauty and fashion She watched old classic Hollywood movies and read fashion magazines (with Vogue being her favorite) and what she loved was seeing women looking beautiful, polished, perfectly combed hair, lots of lashes with red lip stick, and lots of gorgeous gaudy jewelry. Many days Brandy would go to the thrift stores and then walk to Mood Designer Fabrics go home, lock herself in her room to redesign the items she purchase. She would take all of her ideas and sketch figures and faces. Her favorite looks made it to her walls. Her walls were covered in collages of drawings, tear sheets, and articles not knowing that she was creating a personal look book.
