YOUR BEAUTY MOTTO?

Be confident in who you are and highlight what you think is your best quality. Don't try to erase things.

IF YOU WERE A BEAUTY PRODUCT, WHAT WOULD YOU BE?

I would be a chubby lip crayon that I could use on my lips and my cheek—I love multitasking. Le Lipstick - 90’s Model, it's kind of amazing, kind of everything.

 

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE ACTIVITY ON THE SWEED TURTLE TRIP?

Baby turtles and the sound healing were truly special. That place!

WHERE’S YOUR HAPPY PLACE?

I mean, look at this place! I think I’ve found my happy place here in Costa Careyes. India is also my happy place. I believe it’s so important to travel—to expand your mind and heart through new experiences. If you have the opportunity to travel, go for it. Always keep an open mind and heart, and be receptive to other cultures. It truly fills you in a way that's magical.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE BEAUTY PRODUCTS AND WHY?

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE LOOK YOU EVER CREATED?

I’ve been really lucky to work on some iconic photo shoots, magazine covers, and red carpets. It’s hard to choose a favorite! But I think the most memorable body of work for me was the Barbie press tour.

 

WHAT'S YOUR BEST BEAUTY HACK?
