FAQ

When I was 9 or 10 my older sister Rachel started using me as a doll to makeover. I had always loved any form of art but I was more excited about this than anything! I thought the fact that you could wear it made it extremely fun! So I began reading books (mostly Kevin Aucoin) and experimenting as often as possible. Naturally when career day came around at the beginning of my sophomore year in highschool I wanted to do something related to makeup. I went into the only makeup store around in my area at the time, Merle Norman. After a days work, Sandy, the store owner offered me a job! I have been doing makeup ever since! I have read many books, done seminars and mostly just practiced and spent a lot of time at sephora. No formal schooling:)

Making Faces and Face Forward Both by Kevyn Aucoin are my favorite by leaps and bounds. Every other makeup book I read I find myself comparing to these every other pages thinking things like “Kevin makes this much more simple!” or “Kevin is so much more relatable!” I’m kind of in love with him. I wish he had lived longer, he was such a lovely person.

When my hair was dark:

Formally Redkin Shades EQ 3NB.
But I only dye my whole head about once or twice a year, to save it from the damage and to give it a natural looking ombre.

I do my roots myself with Garnier Fruictise in Soft Black.

Now:

I keep my hair from going too warm by toning it with shades EQ 9T, I love to have an ashy undertone in my hair. It flatters me much more than the warmth:)

I swear I don’t work for these guys. I emailed them once about doing a giveaway and they never emailed me back so, there you go. But they still have the best product out there and trust me I have tried THEM ALL! Sun labs

You bet! I wrote a post all about it:) HERE
