6) Do you have any special signature tips or beauty secrets that set you apart?
I use my fingers a lot to blend, as most artists should. And I am a sponge girl, with all the hype out there, foundation brushes is the tool of choice. But personally you get a better coverage with a latex sponge. It has to be latex. You will use more foundation with a sponge but the outcome is totally worth it.

My M.A.C compact, a brown liner, and a dark berry lipstick which can double as a blush if need be.

Canadian model Jessica Stam. Wow, those eyes are just killer.
9) Describe the most daring look you have created on a client or yourself.
For a fashion editorial spread I had to bleach and block out a supermodels eye brows. It was a first for me and It turned out great. I was able to dye them back in time for her to be on her way.
10) What was your most disastrous makeup experience? How did you fix it?
Hmmmm..a long time ago I left my brush set at home. I was on set for a creative when I realized what I did. I had a few extra brushes lying around in my bag, but not to the extent I needed. That’s when I found out that fingers also come in handy for applying makeup. Shoot turned out well, and since then I tend to use my fingers for some of the application process.
11) Which regular beauty tips do you offer your clients?
As of right now, I have taken some time off from being a makeup artist. I am now focusing on my new magazine REMARK. But I am always here for any questions my former clients have about their beauty needs.
