I recently contributed my advise to “Today” regarding a lawsuit filed against Sephora. Apparently, a woman using a tester contracted am infection which caused her major health problems. I was asked how I avoid this problem when working with multiple people. Aside from sharpening my pencils and washing my brushes twice when I get home from a job I use an alcohol spray on all of my products to kill any harmful bacteria. I strongly suggest that when you are at the store purchasing makeup, use a tester on your arm and call it a day! Never use anyone else’s makeup unless you have proper cleansing materials on-hand.

Just saw the play and it was fabulous! The story line, acting and visuals were all superb and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves the theater.

consider putting Using Preparation H around your eye area in an attempt to tighten the skin! I addressed this subject in “The Complete Book of Makeup” and believed that this fad was a thing of the past; however, was surprised to learn recently that there are still a few buying into this fallacy. The truth of the matter is that the skin will change texture and become discolored over a short amount of time, so please keep the product for its intended use of hemorrhoids.

Hey guys, if you’re going to the Halloween parade, I still have a few openings for makeup.

Halloween is one week away and as an artist I love doing special effects makeup. Still have a few spots left for the weekend and the day of Halloween so please feel free to ring me up and book an appointment!

If your favorite Mac product has vanished from the shelves you can contact “Gone But Not Forgotten.” Just ordered my favorite eyebrow pencils!

As a makeup artist, I have specific favorites that cannot be replaced. Unfortunately, cosmetic companies don’t take this into consideration when pulling that lipstick or eye-shadow out of their line to be replaced with their new pallet for marketing purposes. I’ve wasted more time and money on trying to replace these items only to be frustrated and disappointed. The best solution I’ve found is “Three Custom Color Specialists” who will take your sample to the lab and duplicate the color and texture of your product. Hope this is helpful!

Now that summer is over and the weather is getting colder sun block takes a back seat regarding preference; however, it is still imperative to use it regarding the temperature.

If you have been considering receiving permanent facial injections; think again, as I have worked with several clients who wished they hadn’t. You may assume that you’ll be saving money and won’t have to visit the doctor every six months. Please believe me that you are in for a rude awakening. The fact of the matter is that as the face loses its elasticity and begins to sag those permanent injections don’t continue to fill out the designated areas. They will create lumps and distortion and worst of all cannot be removed without creating scars.

Fall is here so get in the mood! Explore your pallet of Autumn colors such as reds, coppers, deep plums and purples!
