Los Angeles,
What is your daily beauty routine?
I keep my daily makeup very soft and natural. I always
apply my moisturizer, my fave is a SkinCeuticals Daily
Moisture, and sunscreen, followed by a bronzer, blush,
mascara and a soft lipgloss. Sometimes I also use
a primer, Murad Dew Finish, and a brow gel by MAC
to lighten my brows.

How do you care for your hair?
I use masks and leave-in conditioners before styling.
As to hairspray I use Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray.
Do you spend a lot of money on cosmetics?
As a professional makeup artist, I do spend a lot of
money on cosmetics, especially foundations, however,
for my personal use, I don’t splurge as much.
What’s your best beauty discovery?
I think the beauty blender is one of the best tools
out there for artists. I also really love Urban Decay’s
original Naked palette, because it has all the basic
colors you need in a kit.
What’s in your make-up bag?
I have at least two foundations, like MAC Face and
Body, mascara, several lip products, bronzer and
a highlighter to define my features, like Urban Decay
Baked Bronzer and of course blush.
