600+ productions later, these are the 5 rules I don't break.

What set life taught me about makeup, and about showing up.

After 600+ productions, the lessons repeat. Different sets, same five rules.

  1. Check the light before you open the kit. Light changes color, texture, and how much product you need. Start there.

  2. Prep gets more time than product. Skin that's ready needs less. No foundation fixes skin that was rushed.

  3. Placement beats quantity. Where the product goes matters more than how much of it you use.

  4. Be easy to work with. Arrive early, stay calm, and solve problems quietly. Sets remember who made the day easier.

  5. The best makeup goes unnoticed. If someone says "great makeup," I overdid it. I want to hear "you look great."

That last one is the whole job.
Whatever is on your calendar this month, walk in looking like yourself.
