CMS Team Helps A Place Called Home Turn Inner City Girls into ‘Cinderella’ for Prom


The CMS Team (from L-R): Danielle, Audrey, and Martha


On April 27th and 28th, CMS Instructor Wendy Ann Rosen and a group of dedicated students hit A Place Called Home’s youth center in South LA to take part in the annual Cinderella Project.

The Cinderella Project is an annual volunteer drive for at-risk teenage girls that, according to the center, “not only gifts them with a beautiful gown, but also empowers them to develop their inner-beauty and esteem through signing up for volunteer opportunities that will make a tangible difference in their communities.”

The CMS team helped teach the girls makeup techniques to complete the look with their newly donated gowns and shoes and prepare them for prom.

“It was awesome” says Martha Sanchez, a CMS graduate who worked at the event. “It sort of reminded me of when I used to be a cosmetic trainer for L’OrĂ©al USA, in terms of coaching and demonstrating.” 

Wendy Ann also had a glowing review of the event, and added that she might invite some of the girls to participate in her CMS class as models in the future.

Another Amazing Challenge On This Week's Episode of SyFy's FaceOff

Every week we love tuning in to see the creativity and skill displayed by the artists on the Syfy Channel's FaceOff, and this week's "Triple Threat" episode did not disappoint. Tara Lang had a lot of work ahead of her this week but she took it like a champ! The challenge this week was to create old age makeups on a set of twins, aging one to the age of 75 and one to 100. They were to look and feel like the same person, physically and personality-wise. But then the contestants were surprised with a twist! Instead of doing two old age makeups, out came another model for each team. Instead of twins, they were now creating old age makeup on triplets! 

Tara's makeup creation of a 75 year old man.

Each artist worked on one makeup, allowing the judges to evaluate each individual's contribution to the overall group product. Tara took on creating the 75 year old while her teammates Matt and Sue took on the 50 year old and 100 year old, respectively. Sue ended up winning the challenge with her makeup but it was a victory for the whole team.

This week's challenge was to design a look inspired by a sea creature the artists found at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach! The twist: their models would be completely submerged in water!!

Tara, along with her partner, Matt (Who was named the overall winner), won the challenge with their gorgeous look inspired by the lyretail fairy basslet!! Miranda also did a beautiful job on her leafy sea dragon creation. Congratulations to them both, we're so proud to have them representing CMS!!

CMS Grads work on The Pee Wee Herman Show!

Tuesday Corren applies makeup to Jambi!
This past January and early February was a great time for CMS graduates Tuesday Corren (FTV '09) and Marissa Williams (Master '09) as they got to do makeup on the new stage version of The Pee Wee Herman Show @ Club Nokia w/ 3 time Oscar Winner MUA Ve Neill! The two interviewed w/ Ve Neill (Department Head) and Cristina Waltz (Key Makeup Artist) and landed the gig against 14 other MUA's that were up for the job as well. Ve Neill, who worked on the original TV show "Pee Wee's Playhouse," happily created the makeup designs for the show, and left the rest in the hands of our CMS MUA's  (along with two other MUA's) to apply makeup on Jambi, Ms. Yvonne, and other characters like Cowboy Curtis, Mailman Mike, Sergio, King of Cartoons, and Fireman Fineous. As of now, the show is being taken on the road to New York City to make it's debut premiere at The Stephen Sondheim Theatre for 6 weeks! Whether Tuesday and Marissa venture to the Big Apple or not, they both agree that their time in LA with the Playhouse gang was nothing but "FUN!!!"
