In her own words: "I grew up always loving makeup. I can remember going through my mother's and older sisters' makeup cases and getting myself into lots of trouble as a kid. One particular story involves a two year old me, a bathtub, and a big tub of Chanel No5 bath powder... Christmas morning in 7th grade I got my first "real" makeup, and from that day on I never left the house without it. All my girlfriends would ask me to do their makeup for school dances and events, and it began a pattern that would continue into adulthood. This is not only my job, it is my passion. It gives me the freedom to control my schedule to be the best mom I can be to my two young sons and the freedom to create beautiful living works of art on some of the worlds prettiest faces."
