A year after I started college, I had no clue what I wanted to do. My mother said, forget everything else-if it were your birthday today, what would you do? I thought, I would play with makeup at the department store. So she said, do that!
The right tools are just as important as the makeup itself.
As a makeup artist, I learned quickly that the color of your lips affects the way a lipstick looks. If you see your friend wearing a great color, dont assume it will be right for you.
The most common mistakes women make when applying makeup are not applying it in the proper light and not using their hands as blending tools.
We makeup artists are a unique bunch of people; we don't have the classic brain, the classic training, but we're creative, so we figure it out.
Personalized beauty is about each woman being able to create her own makeup routine that complements her coloring and style.
If I had to teach someone just one thing about lip color it would be this: Find a lipstick that looks good on your face when you are wearing absolutely no makeup.
Confidence is everything, but a little makeup can't hurt.
Makeup is a way for a woman to look and feel like herself, only prettier and more confident
Concealers are like undergarments. They make you feel taller and thinner.
I believe that all women are pretty without makeup- but with the right makeup can be pretty powerful.
I've had a lifelong love affair with makeup. When I was a little girl, I used to take my mother's makeup and paint all of my dolls' faces, and I even painted the dog's face!
We got really lucky. It's really bad up there, but none of my employees were there, which is a miracle.
During the week my alarm wakes me up at 6 A.M., so the latest I can sleep on Saturdays is about 7 A.M.
