I experienced my first MKG event last Monday at the MAC Cosmetics (Kabuki) Presentation held in the Union Square Theatre. They pulled me on board last minute (2 hours before doors open) to help with the production team and run-of-show. I feel like this event was a great starter for me since it wasn't too intense, as far as production goes, and it didn't ever get hectic or stressful, unlike most of the events I've done in the past.
The event was a debut of their newest cosmetic line called 'MAC Pro.' Make-up artist, Kabuki, gave a make-up presentation, which was the main focus of the night followed by a champagne cocktail reception on-stage afterwards. Our production team was responsible for the installation on the MAC graphic wall and stage set design; overseeing the lighting and AV set-up and programming; music and video rehearsals; run-of-show & load out and the end of the evening.
I had a great time working on this, especially because we were able to watch the actual make-up presentation, which was amazing! After researching more of Kabuki's work since the event, it realized that the 'looks' he demonstrated weren't as intricate and intense as the looks he's known for designing (check 'em out at http://www.kabukimagic.com).
Here are the 3 models from the presentation with their new Kabuki look!
