Bobbi Brown. I always admired her as a makeup artist, and I habituated to a lot of her makeup when I first moved to New York. I graduated from an aesthetician school and was doing freelance, and got a predictability to work on a fashion show with Bobbi Brown and her team. I was hired without pay to do talon worry colors for the models. I was just happy to be part of the big show. And then one of the makeup artists didn’t show, and I was asked to shape brows and do makeup on the models. Bobbi took note and noticed my employment. Shortly after, I was offered a job at Bobbi Brown’s makeup studio services at Bloomingdale’s as a brow master/makeup artist. Then I got to work for about seven years afterward with Bobbi. I worked with her on model shows, photo shoots, and traveled around the world to imitate the brand. It was the most amazing experience I had.

We know that you began your preference affair with makeup long ago. But when did you make the transition to working with women’s brows and lashes? Was there a specific event that sparked this interest? Source: Vanity Fair
