I asked Gina my 3 favorite beauty-related questions. Here are her answers:
INDUSTRY BREAK: I’ve always been obsessed with anything beauty-related, but I also loved art and chose to go to art school. While I was at school, my fit model asked me to do her makeup for a photo shoot. A few months after the shoot, the photographer called me and told me that the pictures were published in a magazine. He then asked my availability to do yet another shoot — I knew at that moment that I had the opportunity to change my destiny. I agreed to take the job and then began to work so many shoots that I dropped out of art school and began working full time in the beauty business. That was the best decision I ever made.
5 MOST COVETED PRODUCTS:
1. Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer – This is my number one secret weapon for flawless makeup. Paraben-, oil-, and fragrance-free, it preps skin beautifully and renders makeup completely water-resistant. It also hydrates skin, minimizes pores, and even eliminates redness.
2. Shu Uemura Cleansing Beauty Oil Premium A/I – I love it because it instantly and effortlessly removes makeup.
3. Hourglass Film Noir Lash Lacquer – This inky black top coat for lashes is a must-have for sexy, dark, glossy lashes. It’s meant to be worn over mascara and I even use it over false lashes to give them extra drama.
4. Intraceuticals Daily Serum – This serum is unlike any other on the market. It instantly hydrates the skin with just one pump.
