Students from WBI’s Esthetician / Skin Care Center recently competed in a festive Winter Carnival-themed event.

The students were encouraged to apply their new-found knowledge and skills learned at Western Beauty Institute’s specialized Skin Care Center, located in a separate building near the main Lancaster campus building.

In celebration of the Holiday Season, students applied creative makeup, props and costumes to their whimsical, fun, and competitive entries.

• 1st Place winner was Angelica Chavez, dressed as a peacock.
• 2nd Place winner was Kristal Clarston, dressed as a snowflake (with branches).
• 3rd Place winner was Lesley Leonard, dressed as a candy cane.

These students also participated in the competition:

• Heather Holbrook - Christmas Bulb
• Niyon Mathis - Gold Star
• Teddi Powers - Jack Frost
• Brianna Capelo - Snow Monster
• Lesa O’Connor - Angel
• Krista Esterada - Snowflake #1
• Kimberly Close - Snowflake #2

The judges were Ms. Betty Alvarez, Mr. Mark Walker and Ms. Theresa Lopez. Many thanks to all those talented individuals who participated in this fun event.
