My passion has always been makeup. I’ve worked on several local (Maryland, D.C. and Northern Virginia) film and music video productions as well as national tv shows, such as 60 Minutes, America’s Most Wanted and Wall $treet Week. For most of the past 20 years, my primary 9 to 5 has been working as a regional, department store, platform makeup artist. During that time I’ve given facials, taught skin care classes or applied makeup to over 15,000 faces. Over 1,000 of those were women/girls for special occasions (models, brides and proms). Most of the women wanted the same thing, a book that could show them how to do (at home) what I was doing. I listened, remembered, and I put my skin care knowledge and makeup experience into these books in a way that a true beginner can follow and understand and the experienced will learn the latest tips, tricks and techniques used today. I've answered the requests for easy to follow, stroke by stroke, illustrated techniques, and can guarantee your satisfaction.
