In a perfect world, mothers would remind their daughters each morning of how beautiful their strong noses are, or how special their curly red hair is.

As a makeup artist, I learned quickly that the color of your lips affects the way a lipstick looks. If you see your friend wearing a great color, don't assume it will be right for you.

Beauty is a life-long evolution.

Personalized beauty is about each woman being able to create her own makeup routine that complements her coloring and style.

Whether you are a stay-at-home mom, or on the red carpet, or in Afghanistan, the better you feel, the better you do your job.

The most common mistakes women make when applying makeup are not applying it in the proper light and not using their hands as blending tools.

How I feel about myself is more important than how I look. Feeling confident, being comfortable in your skin - that's what really makes you beautiful.
