Heir Atelier

 

   



 

Her resume reads like a Red Carpet Photo-Call...Her Portfolio like an issue of Vogue.

Lancome has her on speed-dial as one of their top make-up artists and video, how-to queens.   She's got the scoop on LA's insider facialists...She's developing her own Serum AND Non-Profit Organization...

And she loves her dog.

This petite, tour de force is Being it, Doing it, Having it, ALL!

Best Gift You Have Ever Given?

• I used an "Insider Contact" to get my friend, the amazing photographer, Steve Erle, an Exclusive Club Membership that he wanted but had a 3,000 person waiting list.  The best thing about it was that for once I was able to give him something that he couldn't get for himself..which is tough to do for the person who has everything!

What Else Would You Like To Do or Accomplish?

• Shooting another round of How To Video's at the end of February for Lancome
• Starting a blog next week... So Please Follow Me On Twitter to get info on that.
• My Serum launch:  I am currently developing a facial serum that I created and use on people sitting in my makeup chair.  It's a primer serum called "Ultimate Make Up Prep".  I'm excited about launching as soon as it's ready.  It's still being tweaked by the chemists but I can tell you the name of the company will be: "Heir Atelier".
• Launch a Non-Profit.  I am working on launching a non-profit this summer that will work to promote positive change in the world through cool, clever PSA's with celebrities.  I'm really excited about that!
