| Emmy Award Winning MUA Valente Frazier & Artist Darryl Dwayne |
Morning Family... While show hopping during NYC Fashion Week I got the chance to play catch up with one of my old friends Valente Frazier. Me and V go wayyyyyyyyyyy back! My fellow Norfolk State Alum has been hard at work since we graduated from NSU. He has continually crafted out a nice platform for himself in the realm of cosmetics.

He is a highly sought out MUA who's worked with just about everybody who is somebody in the entertainment business. Most notably known for his work and long time working relationship with Tyra Banks and fellow supermodel Iman.

I managed to catch up with him at the Mataano Show where Valente was the lead MUA and pretty much running the makeup end of the show. Him and designers Ayaan and Idyl worked very closely on selecting the color palette they thought would enhance the presentation of the collection.

Their hard work paid off because the end result was beyond gorgeous. Of course since I had my OliveCocoMag family with me we had to snag an interview with my good friend Valente.
