Face of T&T picks top ten finalists

by

20140818

In­spired by the del­i­cate, rur­al na­ture and vast wildlife of the African Sa­fari, jux­ta­posed by the dy­nam­ic en­er­gy and throb­bing ur­ban vi­bran­cy of the cap­i­tal city, the Face of T&T 2014 presents the top ten fi­nal­ists from the Sa­fari Meets the City fash­ion ed­i­to­r­i­al.

The Face of T&T com­pe­ti­tion was con­cep­tu­alised and cre­at­ed by Kirk Thomas, an award-win­ning beau­ty pro­fes­sion­al who has worked with Nik­ki Mi­naj, Al­i­son Hinds and The Tyra Banks Show. Thomas hopes to break bar­ri­ers in high­light­ing the of­ten un­der­stat­ed im­por­tance and per­cep­tions of beau­ty to the lo­cal fash­ion, en­ter­tain­ment and ad­ver­tis­ing in­dus­tries.

The Face of T&T ex­ec­u­tive al­so in­cludes award-win­ning pho­tog­ra­ph­er Gary Jor­dan, run­way coach and styl­ist Nigel Ce­les­tine, event con­sul­tant Kristy Ram­nar­ine and PR spe­cial­ist Te­nille Clarke.

With the slo­gan "Face the in­dus­try, Face the in­ten­si­ty, Face of T&T!" this project's cen­tral fo­cus is on the face of con­tes­tants, and is geared to­wards ex­pos­ing many faces of vary­ing ages, eth­nic­i­ties and lifestyles.

A re­lease from the or­gan­is­ers said the show re­veals the beau­ty in­dus­try's many lay­ers by tap­ping in­to the di­ver­si­ty of T&T's women and their in­spi­ra­tional life sto­ries. The fi­nal ten girls will pre­pare for an in­tense pe­ri­od of train­ing and ac­tiv­i­ties in the run up to the com­pe­ti­tion.

L'Ore­al Paris-T&T was the true star on set with their in­cred­i­ble range of prod­ucts: The True Match� Pow­der, Blush, and Con­ceal­er was for­mu­lat­ed with Pre­cise Match� giv­ing an oil-free skin fin­ish and in­cred­i­ble di­men­sion to the nat­ur­al shape and bone struc­ture of the face.

The Face of T&T ex­ec­u­tive will for­mal­ly present the top ten fi­nal­ists at an ex­clu­sive me­dia launch this evening from 7 pm at Stech­ers Fine Gift Stores, Long Cir­cu­lar Mall.
