I've been dying to tell you about this. I was one of four chosen to appear in the September issue of Vogue as a Covergirl.
OMFG.
Very few backstage pictures were allowed - here's mine:
One of the accessories tables (several racks of clothes were behind me)
Applying Covergirl "Intense Shadow Blast"
Sneaking a pic before the make up artist continued
One of the bloggers Tess before hair & makeup in her Prada shades
The incredible leopard print maxi I chose. You can't tell here but I wore it with these black and white winklepickers. The stylist and I loved the clash together
After the shoot I got changed and took a pic before leaving (my hair had half a can of hair spray in it)
This was a day I will never forget.
The Vogue september issue hits news stands August 23rd is out now!
Thank you Vogue and Covergirl. What an honour.
Congrats on the CoverGirl photo shoot!! Great, fun color choices.

Congrats Karen! But honestly, why didn't you take the picture without the jacket and hat! That was a beautiful dress you were wearing. I would also like to know why you didn't do a full frontal like the rest of them. I'm pissed that this is the picture they chosed. I'm not happy with this look but I'm happy you're a Covergirl. If you need to comment, you can email me back at nokeyah@optonline.net. I tried posting and didn't see it up there.
ReplyDeleteYou beautiful lucky girl! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteKaren thats so huge yay for you!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Covergirl is like Rimmel for us Brits??
