Applied science sophomore Lili Olvera said she and her models complained to Carrie Von Loudin about the black eyeliner and foundation Von Loudin applied not matching the pink, gold and brown outfits Olvera and her models were wearing.
Von Loudin told Olvera to ask communications sophomore Brandy Diaz, one of the show's student organizers, to make sure it was OK, Olvera said.
"Brandy, who was wearing a lipstick of her choice that matches with her outfits, said everyone had to be the same," Olvera added.
"I pointed out that she had a different lipstick and she said 'you know what? Do whatever you want'."
Olvera said moments later she was confronted by Diaz, who started yelling in her face saying that Olvera did not want to work with them.
Then Von Loudin told Diaz to get Olvera out of there, because Von Loudin did not like designers "back there" in the Fiesta Room, Olvera said.
"I looked at her and said, 'I'm talking to Brandy and not you,'" Olvera added.
"She threw her tools down and stood toe to toe in front of me and was pointing in my face and said, 'You don't know who you are talking to. I am the owner of The Artistry Company and Posh Cosmetics. Who the (****) are you?'"
Olvera said Von Loudin then grabbed her arm and started yelling "security."
"She started using foul language and falsely identifying herself as a cop," Olvera said.
Olvera said Von Loudin then grabbed her by the hair, pulling her head down.
Olvera said student activities specialist Carrie Hernandez witnessed the incident.
In a phone interview Tuesday, Hernandez said she did not witness any physical contact between Olvera and Von Loudin.
Olvera added that Gil Castillo, associate director of student activities, told her and Von Loudin that they needed to get along for the show to go on.
