girl, go for it. You only live once. What’s the one product you or your clients can’t be without this winter? I’m a huge fan of the Anti-Oxidant Hydramist from Dermalogica, moisturizers from L’Occitane, Chanel mascara, and Maybelline gel eyeliner. Also, for women of color, Covergirl Queen Natural Hue Bronzers are a must-have! I first learned about them from makeup ar tist Sam Fine. If you don’t have his DVD, you need to order it! If you could turn back time, what advice would you give to yourself five years ago? Ten years ago? Some things you just have to learn by ac tually experiencing them. There are things I do differently now, but I only figured them out because I worked hard, tried to be friendly to ever yone, and was for tunate
enough to be given great oppor tunities. However, there’s a line from the Shirley MacLaine and Anne Bancrof t film, The Turning Point. The two play retired ballet dancers, and looking at MacLaine’s rising star prima ballerina, they wonder, “If only she knew the things we know now.” And
the other replies, “It wouldn’t matter a damn.” That said, just work hard, work smar t, and learn ever y thing you can about whatever you’re passionate about. Be nice to ever yone. Michelle Obama said, “when you’ve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that door way of oppor tunity...you do not slam it shut behind you...you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed.”
