Local make-up artist scores big at film festival
Alicia has worked with the Girlfriends sitcom, the Tyra Banks Show and her jewelry is often featured in magazines including Elle, Oprah and Essence. Her jewelry has been worn by Sharon Stone, Kelly Ripa and Gabrielle Union, and according to Higgs they became friends instantly. Higgs said Guy explained to her that she wanted a shimmering radiant natural look.
"I love to play with color so when she showed me what she was wearing I wanted to highlight one of the hues in her dress without being too over the top. I applied eyelash enhancements and egg plant eyeliner beneath the eye to make her eyes pop. I also used a luminizer beneath her blush to give her a dewy sun kissed glow. I played down her lips because she had dramatic eyes. I also used allover face and body bronzer to make her upper body glow and to minimize her tan lines. She was happy with my work and I gave her a few beauty secrets and names of products she liked that I used."
Higgs explained that she has fallen in love with and has been engaged in the art of make-up for as long as she could remember, noting that she began to further develop and perfect her interest in 2000.
