The streets of NYC were packed with FNO goers, as the city kicked off Fashion Week.  Dop Dop Salon hosted a charity event in honor of GEMS Girls, and the turn out was amazing.  Celebrity Makeup Artist Leora Edut did one-on-one makeovers using top beauty products to include the Beauty Blender and Lash Royalty lashes.

This pink carpet event featured a live DJ, hair styling, makeovers by Celeb MUA Leora Edut, beauty blender fun, Lash Bar by Lash Royalty, and decadent desserts by Tasty Morsels Bakery.  It was an unforgettable evening and we would like to thank everyone that came out to support GEMS Girls.

The Art of Beauty Experience will be a multi-part initiative beginning with the girls at GEMS in New York City. Carine Jocelyn, the Executive Director of Diaspora Community Services (www.diasporacs.org) and Martine Longchamp, the Executive Director of Diakonos International will join Ms. Watkins and Ms. Edut in a facilitated discussion around inner & outer beauty, the challenges and risks that young girls face in Haiti, and explore how GEMS services might be transferrable to at-risk girls in Port-au-Prince.

Following the discussion will be a non-traditional makeup celebration with sponsored Make-Up Forever and Lash Royalty products, an art workshop for the girls to freely paint their experience around exploring and owning their beauty with watercolors, and a photo and video shoot to showcase the makeup and art while respecting the girls’ privacy and confidentiality.

The Art of Beauty Experience
How it was born: Beauty activists, Ford supermodel & Founder of Art In Motion Monica Watkins and “Makeup Stylist to the Stars” Leora Edut, discovered that when women experience their own beauty from the inside out, other areas of their life transform. They soon realized that fashion and beauty can serve as a catalyst to empower young, at-risk women in the areas of self-esteem, creativity, diversity, and access to financial freedom.
The Art of Beauty Experience is a bi-national initiative for young, disadvantaged women living a world apart to celebrate and embrace their common inner-beauty. The children of the Diakonos Orphanage (www.diakonosintl.org) in Carrefour, Haiti are starving for the educational and artistic opportunities that we take for granted in the U.S. The sexually-exploited and trafficked girls and young women of GEMS (www.gems-girls.org) are yearning to show their worth, transform public perception, and empower other young girls in need. By linking the two organizations, and inspiring a myriad of supporters across all disciplines, the possibilities for personal growth and future success for the children are limitless.

Beauty.  Empowerment.  Creativity.  Diversity.  Education.  Financial Freedom.

Lash Royalty is proud to be supporting Celebrity Makeup Artist, Leora Edut, for the “Art of Beauty Experience” event.  The “Art of Beauty Experience” is an empowerment initiative for young women in two underserved populations:  GEMS (NY) and Diakonos Orphanage (Haiti).

Girls Educational & Mentoring Services (GEMS) is the only organization in New York State specifically designed to serve girls and young women who have experienced commercial sexual exploitation and domestic trafficking. GEMS was founded in 1998 by Rachel Lloyd. (source:  www.gems-girls.org)

Celebrity MUA Leora Edut, will be using beauty as a medium to empower young women at risk in the areas of self-esteem, creativity, diversity, and access to financial freedom.
