Class with the Countess....

...continues with her newly released music single & subsequent video (that was leaked) for her song: "Money Can't Buy You Class". (For my international readers, The Countess is one of the stars of the hit Bravo reality TV show: The Real Housewives of New York.) I was sitting on this post for quite some time, but since The Countess' video was leaked last week and was all over the internet within an hour, I had no choice but to bump up the publishing of this post.

I did her makeup for both the CD & the video which were shot about a week apart. The first shoot took place at Pier 59 Studios (I feel like I've been living there lately, btw) and the latter was an all day shoot at Covet Lounge.

Save the comments about your opinions on the song, the auto-tune, the post work and all of the other etcetera as this is definitely not the place to post them unless of course, we are discussing what several sites have called the job done by her 'world class makeup artist'. Straight bottom line of the matter is that The Countess is a beautiful woman who has always kept herself
VERY together and frankly, on both the CD and the video both she and her makeup look amazing! She was such a pleasure to work with and beyond super cool. Below are 2 shots of her CD cover and...

It is only fitting that I give out the rest of the props where they are due so, I'm sending kudos out to the entire styling team on this one: Jersey on styling & conceptualization, Miki Mori on hair for the video & Agata-Helena on hair for the CD.

To learn more about The Countess, head on over to her website. Next up for moi is doing the taping of the reunion show with her....
