Check out this star on the rise, she's Missy Elliott's new recording artist and my most recent makeup client! Her name is Sharaya and her style is in a league of its own.A native Hawaiian, but born and raised in Jersey City, NJ; Sharaya has always been an artist at heart. Music has been prevalent in her life since the ripe age of seven. Exposed early by her father, lead singer of the huge 90's group Double XX Posse, she's always been a natural performer. After a very successful career in the dance industry working with various acclaimed artist and choreographers, Sharaya is no stranger to the spotlight. Now is her time to take center stage as Missy "Misdermeanor" Elliott's new recording artist. She has a fresh new sound and style, which hands down makes her a unique act and puts her on a level that's literally out of this world.
While her music is sexy and salicious, her style channels the Great Icon.....Grace Jones circa 1980. She is currently on tour with Missy Elliott promoting her single"Alright" check her out in the videos....keep your eyes on this one. She's definitely one to watch!!!

My Journey started in Sweden then returning back home to NYC to gear up for the mother load of the tour...13 countries in one month, whew! London, Cannes, St.Tropez, Norway, Morocco, Romania, Montreaux, that was just halfway through. This being my first tour, I experienced many cultures, met wonderful people and enjoyed the astounding beauty of all these places. Missy Elliott gave her fans a show that even the Queen of England would sure to shake a tailfeather to! Missy is an entertainer and her presence on stage is undeniably phenomenial! My favorite place was Montreaux near the Swiss Alps...the scenery was AMAZING! The other countries were Copenhagen, Serbia,Switzerland and Denmark....it was literally a trip of a lifetime. I think the most surreal place we went to was the wailing wail where Jesus walked and prayed in Jerusluem....What a Journey!!!
For most of the shows, I kept Missy's makeup very pretty by applying HD Invisible Cover Foundation by Makeup Forever#175 to the skin for a long lasting finish and gave her lots of lash with Mac False Eye Lashes while adding Sisley Lip Gloss to her lips for a superior shine.
