Each year Cinema Makeup School has the opportunity to send students and graduates to assist in the Miss California and Miss California Teen pageant held every autumn. This past weekend, November 21st, 2010, CMS sent over 30 makeup artists and hair stylists to help glam up the Beauty Queens.
Current student Ramon Blanco was one lucky guy when he realized which contestants he had been paired with, "I was able to work with BOTH the Miss and Miss Teen Winners!... It was wonderful."
Students and Graduates loaded up their cars and traveled east to the exclusive Palms Springs area for the big day. The CMS crew had just a few hours to make up 80+ contestants for the main portion of the pageant, and later had to be present for touch ups and hair changes. "The director came and told us how thankful he was for our help... how appreciative he was... that was really nice of him, it was a really great experience." said current student Krystal George of her time there.
All the students agreed that overall it was a great event. "It was well organized and a good working environment." Student Jyll King said, with student Alicia Mizrahi chimming in, "... and the buffet was great too!".

Cinema is always proud to have their students represent such a widely known and well respected organization, and we know there will be many more opportunities to come. Of the experience, Ramon later said, "... to have the entire room filled with current and former CMS students, I would do this again year after year."
