Growing up in Oklahoma, I learned a lot about teased hair, blue eye-shadow and glitter. In high school, I listened to bands whose music strongly encouraged the wearing of black eyeliner. Majoring in theater in college, I learned how to make someone look good from two hundred feet away, or like a Southern belle in Kabuki-style theater. I honed my skills by adapting my stage make-up to street-worthiness, forced by the rigors youthful poverty to be thrifty and creative. Upon moving to NYC, I worked for MAC Cosmetics in downtown Brooklyn, Harlem, and SoHo. Since striking out on my own, my work has appeared in Cosmopolitan, New York Magazine, Rolling Stone, among others. I've worked with for MTV, Bravo, and BET, painted face for fashion houses, and toured as makeup artist/hair stylist for bands and dancers alike. To keep it simple, I do make-up for each and every face and purpose. My personal make-up motto has always been "I do my makeup til I kinda want to make-out with myself.' I love my work, and seeing clients eyes light up when they, too, want to make out with themselves. I don't believe any one person 'can't wear a red lip', and I've been told I do a killer smokey eye.
