ALL ABOUT ISPA CONFERENCE
FAVORITE CHARITY/CAUSE TO SUPPORT: I’m a 10-year thyroid
Best part about doing Brené Brown’s makeup: My goal is to
always make someone look and feel their best. Brené asked me to
not make her look “crazy.” She just wanted a little touch up so
that’s what I did. She also asked me to give Simon Sinek, who also
spoke at this year’s Conference, a kiss on his cheek from her!
cancer survivor so I’m adamant about supporting any organization
that supports cancer research. Living Beyond Breast Cancer (this
year, jane iredale will be donating 100 percent of the profits of the
Lemongrass Love Hydration Spray to the organization) and St. Jude
are a few of the organizations I support.
Number of times you’ve attended the ISPA Conference:
I’ve had the honor and privilege of attending ISPA and doing
makeup for the General Session speakers for the past 10 years.
HOTEL AMENITY YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT: The coffee
maker is definitely my must-have amenity. I have to have my black
tea in the morning in order to function properly.
BEST PIECE OF BEAUTY ADVICE YOU’VE RECEIVED: When I
was 12 years old, my mother would tell me to never go to bed with
makeup on. To this day, I have to wash my face before bed.
Most memorable ISPA Conference moment: My most
memorable moment was when Jane Iredale received the ISPA
Visionary Award in 2014. This was the first time I had the privilege
of doing Jane’s makeup.
