Be Ware of Testers!

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.

Don’t Ever…

consider putting Using Preparation H around your eye area in an attempt to tighten the skin!

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.

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.

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!

Facts about Permanent Facial Injections

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.
