Now we will take a look at the creatives who played a major role in this show.
We had two makeup artists who took on the task of doing all of the models makeup for the show.
+First we have the stunning Brianna Valencia who came all the way from LA to support this show. Brianna has a profound background in makeup. This gem helped in more areas than just makeup. The POP-UP is truly thankful for Brianna and all of her support.
