Color Theory

Follow this Column

I cherish having a job where I am surrounded by beautiful colors and products all day long. I love being able to make women feel beautiful and confident. I love getting to work with the same faces over and over again, getting to play with their image and looks, and styles. It’s fun to see all the different things you can do with the same features! Everyone has the same basic components, but the results from makeup can be so varied! What a fun challenge to have on a daily basis!

Nothing gives me greater pleasure than sharing my knowledge and techniques that I have honed, gleaned and learned over the years.  There are a million different ways to do the same thing, but when one way clicks with the right person, it’s very satisfying. For some reason, even though we adore makeup and many of us wear it every single day of our lives, we still ask the same questions over and over again.  What colors look good on my skintone? How do I pick the right foundation? How do I interpret trends without looking like a clown/teenager/streetwalker? 

In this column I will guide you to the right products, the right techniques and the right frame of mind to try something new, take a tiny step outside of your comfort zone, and embrace the unfamiliar. I always say, ”It’s just makeup; it washes off.  You’re the same person that you were before, so be free and playful and enjoy!”

I’m looking forward to hearing all sorts of feedback, questions and comments from you, dear reader, so fire away.  And I hope to address your concerns and questions in the columns to come. I’m here for you, so let’s do this together!
