I love old funky things. Color just makes me happy, and things all lined up.
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.
Every season has its lipstick trend, and just because your perfect color is a pinky beige, that doesnt mean you cant wear deep burgundy.
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!
Defined brows instantly make you look more polished.
After I brush on my moisturizer, I'll dip the same brush into foundation and mix it with the lotion to make tinted moisturizer.
In a perfect world, mothers would remind their daughters each morning of how beautiful their strong noses are, or how special their curly red hair is.
Over the years I’ve worked with countless women who have inspired me with their stories. Beyond makeup, we’ve talked about life-altering events. Everything from the joy of being a new mom to dealing with homelessness and divorce. With each conversation, these women have shown that when you have the will and the heart, almost anything is possible—and that’s what Pretty Powerful is all about.
I layer my moisturizers, which makes my complexion so fresh, I can wear less foundation.
Pretty Powerful symbolises my belief that all women are pretty, and with the right tools, are empowered to a higher level of pretty - it's about being confident and about being who you are
Beauty is a life-long evolution.
When I interview someone, I know in the first two minutes if I like them or not. I find that if its easy to talk to someone and I see an openness and honesty and integrity, then I usually hire them.
I look at a woman and I don't see what's wrong with her. I see what's right.
The secret to beauty is simple - be who you are.
