"As a makeup artist I am not here to try to change you. I am here to show you your beauty by emphasizing your features. My goal is not to make you look beautiful, but to feel beautiful because you are beautiful. When people are in my chair I make sure that in the end they look at themselves in the mirror and smile and feel beautiful inside out. Because what they may not see, I can see and I bring that to reality, simply with some color."
