How did
you first get into working with make up?
-My mom
says I started using makeup when I was five because if I couldn’t get my hands on her
makeup I would use cool-aid for blush and lips.
- I can
remember my parents finally letting me wear makeup though when I was in the 7th
grade so I was about twelve in the late 80’s. I think that was a very
expressive time and Madonna was one of my idol’s. Laura Mericer and Sharon
Gault was her makeup artist at that time and I really admired their work.
What is your favorite thing about what you do?
- Making women look and feel confident and
beautiful.
- Seeing
that spark in their eyes is what makes me love what I do.
- I have had
women start to cry because they didn’t know they could look or feel that
beautiful.
- I have clients
who are going through chemo who lost their eyebrows and their skin has become
lack luster. Just being able to show them how use makeup to help them fill like
themselves again is very rewarding.
The top
3 makeup items every woman needs in her work bag?
For one definitely lip
stick:
- A little brighter color
lip instantly brightens your face
- Gives you confidence
- If you don’t have
time to do your eyes a brighter color will give you a more polished look with
out looking over done.
- In a bind you can
always dab of your lip color and blend it on your cheeks if you are looking a
little washed out and you know you have an event to go to after work.
- Right now favorites
for lips are Tom Ford,that you can find at Neiman Marcus, or Saks, Lip Tar’s by Obessive Compulsive,
and Bite Beauty that you can find at Saphora
Second a good translucent powder. It will set your makeup so it stays on your skin
longer through out the day with out making your skin looking cakey or heavy.
-But also it cuts the shine
on your t-zone mid-day or into evening. Too many times I see women layering
foundation powder through the day touching up until their skin looks too
unnatural that is why I prefer translucent powder.
A little brightening pen for the under eyes never hurt anyone.
- It’s like a cup of
coffee that gives your under eyes a little perk to look more awake.
- Let’s face it with a
busy work week and not always enough sleep we can always use a little
concealing.
- YSL’s Touche
Éclat is a
best seller and is a great way to revitalize your under eyes mid-day.
- Apply it like a V shape under your eye. It’s a Trish McEvoy tip she calls
the triangle of light that helps hide dark circles.
