SKINNY ON SKINZ

Celebrity styling team OUTER SKINZ IMAGE GROUP consists of Makeup Artist KYM LEE and Wardrobe Stylist ANGELIQUE ALSTON.  The styling duo met in college, and graduated from Bowie State University with degrees in Media Arts and Print Journalism, respectively.  Both have held various positions in the Radio, Television and Print mediums, but were always drawn to the entertainment industry, specifically Fashion and Makeup Artistry.

The two went on to freelance in the Glamour Services Department at Black Entertainment Television (BET) and realized how well they worked together when imaging various on-air personalities.  After discovering they both shared the same creative vision, Angelique and Kym decided to go into business for themselves....and Outer Skinz Image Group was born!
