Twenty years of experience in the beauty industry and my passion for learning has not ceased. It has helped to define the creative artist in me. I have worked with several amazing cosmetic lines in the retail end and professional end. I have had the pleasure to work with such artists as Carol Shaw, Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier and Trish McEvoy. I have also worked with models and photographers in the print, media arena. Over the past few years I had the opportunity to help to establish an incredible salon and spa brand Mirabella Cosmetics. I was their Regional Manager and traveled throughout the country and internationally teaching various classes and educating people about the world of make up. I am also a regular guest speaker at the Make-up Artist Academy. Currently I am a contributor to Nirvana Woman magazine. I write various beauty articles, upcoming makeup trend reports and answer questions as the "Beauty Addict".
Make up is a form of art for me. My friends joke that when I was born I came out with a palette in one hand and a brush in the other. Through all my travels I am always asked what I love about my job the most and my answer is this, truly changing the way people think about themselves.
Favorite Technique: My favorite technique for the eye is using a liner brush to create a fine line along the eye lash line to open up the eye. This allows the “eye” itself to be the focal point not the make up.
