I'm constantly searching for ways to do better because I believe life is an evolution. It's not about reaching an end goal and hanging up your hat...It's about continually growing.

Confidence is everything, but a little makeup can't hurt.

Work hard but work smart. Always. Every day. Nothing is handed to you and nothing is easy. You're not owed anything... No job or task is too small or beneath you. If you want to get ahead, volunteer to do the things no one else wants to do, and do it better. Be a sponge. Be open and learn.

A year after I started college, I had no clue what I wanted to do. My mother said, forget everything else-if it were your birthday today, what would you do? I thought, I would play with makeup at the department store. So she said, do that!

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.

I look at a woman and I don't see what's wrong with her. I see what's right.

Beauty is a life-long evolution.
