LAS VEGAS – (August 26, 2011) On Thursday, August 25, Rain Cosmetics and Blush Boutique Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas held their semi-annual Battle of the Brushes Makeup Competition hosted by Holly’s Word and Absinthe star Angel Porrino.

Cirque du Soleil’s Zumanity Hair and Makeup Supervisor Roger J. Stricker judged the event alongside two-time Battle of the Brushes winner Natasha Chamberlin and Rain Cosmetics’ owner and co-founder, Lori Montoya.

Congrats to the winner. The Poison Ivy costume is great! 🙂
When I first saw this, I was like wow look at the makeup and stuff… That Poison Ivy costume really stood out to me.
Wow all 3 looks are creative but Time Traveling My Little Pony looks best for me.
They all look creative that’s for sure. That Time Traveling My Little Pony looks nice as well too. Thanks for commenting!
Rain cosmetics are awesome. I was at their store yesterday. I hauled 3 palettes.
Do show the palette when you get a chance! I am interested in it ever since I found out about them on Miss. USA.
She did a great job there, amazing!
Yep! Thanks for commenting!
