Q. What do you like most about your
Purple Lab look(s)?

Q. What is your beauty must have?
A. The miracle worker that is the eyelash curler - with mascara, of course. It opens up my eyes and makes me look like I got a full night's rest even if I only slept three hours! Long eyelashes are also very feminine and pretty.
Q. Who is your beauty role model?
A. Kate Hudson. She always looks so naturally beautiful. She is the epitome of a woman who uses makeup to enhance the beauty she already possesses.
Q. What do you like most about your
Purple Lab look(s)?
A. I love the creativity behind it. Stacie, the makeup artist who worked on me, used Huge Lips, Skinny Hips lip gloss as an eyeshadow. I always appreciate it when people do things outside of the box so I love that Stacie didn't use lip gloss just as lip gloss just because that's what it says on the label. I also love the Luvah lip color, Mama's Boy. I bought my own soon after the shoot.
Q. What is the best beauty advice you ever received?
A. Put on a light sweep of bronzer on your cheeks before applying blush for extra glow. I am all about the glow!
Q. When do you feel most beautiful?
A. The moment I get out of the shower. Even if I don't have any product on my face and my hair is still damp, I feel very fresh and naturally beautiful at that moment.
