INDUSTRY BREAK: I broke into the beauty industry when I was just starting college, and I interviewed with Nordstrom for a job in cosmetics. I had always loved doing my makeup, and I was the one in high school who got all my friends ready for their big moments. It came very naturally to me and seemed like a job I would like. I soon realized how much I enjoyed transforming people, and how good it felt for me to see a smiling face when I was finished. This was where the fuel hit the fire, so to speak.
FIVE MOST COVETED PRODUCTS:
1. Laura Mercier Contrast – It is no longer made, so it has become one of those items that you dread to see the bottom of. It is a cream-textured contour that is so amazing for small tricks in the eye area.
2. Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage – For covering imperfections.
3. Cake Liner – For making an incognito line in the lashes.
4. Sally Hansen by Carmindy Cream Bronzers – These bronzers are sheer and give a boost of color and shading before ever putting on powder. The less powder, the less cakey. I’m all for a glow!
5. Givenchy Loose Powder Bronzer – It goes on so soft and sheer that it gives a gorgeous finish while adding color.
FAVORITE LOOK: I don’t have a favorite red carpet look, but I do love the color of the red lip I did on Heather Morris recently. I love a bright lip to add a pop to a fresh look!
