A Pretty Great Life combines insider beauty tips with fascinating backstories directly from a Hollywood makeup artist.

I have been helping celebrities and clients get camera-ready for more than twenty years. My book offers readers educational, amusing, and inspirational lessons, answering basic questions like why black is the favorite color in the industry to more complex queries such as how to best contour different skin tones. Great tips for individuals just starting out, changing careers, or even working the gig economy.
