Las Vegas makeup artists are in high demand with our Strip entertainers, model photo shoots and when Hollywood celebrities come to town to work and party. But for one night, all the salon makeup mistresses put work aside to party and play at Blush in the Wynn.

However, it turned into a Battle of the Brushes when Rain Cosmetics owner Rain Andreani, the only Las Vegas makeup company, gifted them with some of her unique products. The artists went to work immediately in a spontaneous contest to see who could claim bragging rights.

Holly Madison’s upcoming reality series co-star Laura Croft, Playboy’s Miss July 2008, helped with the judging and turned it into a real party for the salon stars to showcase their skills. Las Vegas makeup artist Brittney D’Anelli was unanimously declared the winner with her designs.
