Nobody owns “sexy” like Victoria’s Secret. From the lingerie, the beauty products to the mega-models, the company really knows how to project “sexy”.

I am lucky to have been part of the Victoria’s Secret family for many years. For this extraordinary brand I have created the makeup for countless commercials, campaigns and “books” (as […]

Glamour magazine flew me to Vancouver a few months ago to do a shoot with Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene, Rachelle Lefevre, and Noot Seear, the fabulous women of the Twilight Saga. I loved last years award-winning movie, so I was very excited to spend a day with them during filming of the sequel, New […]

I was doing an interview for a magazine about my 12 favorite products – which I happily provided the journalist with – when she called me back informing me that three of them had been discontinued!!!! What? Shock and consternation. We get attached to a particular product over the years […]

Long lines, unhappy airline employees and the humbling sensation of being in an assembly line – sorry, security – in socks – can take the glamour out of the entire experience. Never mind the cramped seats (even […]

This is a gorgeous story I did with my favorite model of all times. Gisele had gathered a team of people she has known for a long time and who are as much her friends as co-workers: Nino Munoz, the great photographer, Katie Mossman, the hottest stylist going, the famously fabulous Harry Josh and […]

Fall is here.  Feel that drab complexion coming your way?  Steam will get rid of that problem in minutes.  It “irons out” the face, gives it some healthy color and cleanses the pores.  At the same time it will clear out your sinuses and help if you have a cough.  What more could you want?
