Prime Time at the GLAAD Awards
Armed with loads of gift bags filled to the brim with its best-selling products, Youngblood came out in full force recently at the 20th Annual GLAAD Awards held in Los Angeles. The awards show honored A-list movie and TV celebrities, fashion designers, and media personalities who support and advance the organization’s mission. Among those in attendance were Ellen DeGeneres, Jessica Alba, Portia de Rossi, Teri Hatcher, Ilene Chaiken, and Kathy Griffin, recipient of this year’s Vanguard Award.
Some of these celebrities were treated to an exclusive demo of Youngblood’s newest products, including the Mineral Primer and the Minerals in the Mist, at the event’s VIP Gift Suite backstage. Each celebrity received a customized gift bag and a hands-on treatment (literally) of the Mineral Primer by our very own makeup artist Valerie Hernandez. The primer was a big hit among the stars who tried it on such as Bruno Tonioli, and the cast of Desperate Housewives and Greek, among others. Here’s a sample of what they said:
“This is nice. It feels so smooth.”
- Dana Delaney, who plays Katherine Mayfair on “Desperate Housewives”
“It feels great!”
- Cast members of “Greek”
“Oh this is good!”
- Brenda Strong, who plays Mary Alice Young on “Desperate Housewives”
“I use [a different] primer right now, but I have to try this. It feels so silky.
- Thea Gill, best known for her work on “Queer”
“Can I have a gallon of this? My skin feels fetus-like!”
- Bruno Tonioli, judge on “Dancing with the Stars”
