Do you wear eyelash extensions?

Yes. I have for years and even used to work for Xtreme Lashes at their corporate office in Houston. More info on lash extensions here.

What is your tanning routine?

What does your hairdresser do to your hair?

We do a combination of baby lights and teasy-lights with a shadow root to create a balayaged, lived in look. My roots are about a level 6 currently.

Do you have extensions?

100%. I get hand-tied extensions. My stylist goes back and forth with J.Z. Styles and Bellami hair depending on the color we’re doing. We normally do about 20” wefts. I normally have 2-3 rows in.

What do you do to your brows?

What don’t I do to them? Lol. I have had permanent makeup done after several attempts at Microblading that would fade to a weird tone. Permanent makeup uses a fine tip machine vs a blade. I also get my brows laminated to help them lay nicely every other month. Day to day I normally use the soap brow technique to groom my brows into place and then fill in sparse areas with a pencil.

How did you lose weight? Do you follow any specific diet?

After having Hudson, I lost about 50lbs with a combination of intermittent fasting and taking trim daily. Trim is a CLA product that helps to inhibit fat storage. I think it really helped me expedite the results of intermittent fasting. I have done IF in the past and lost 15-20 lbs maybe, so I definitely saw better results while using it. You can check out my weight loss highlights on Instagram for more info on both.

Do you have fillers and botox? Thoughts on injectables?

Hell yes! I’m very open about both. After working as a celebrity makeup artist and confirming that it wasn’t just “good skincare and lots of water” keeping your fave celebrities young, I’ve tried to be transparent as possible on different services I’ve gotten done or have explored. My hope is that I might be able to help someone who wishes they could obtain certain results but aren’t sure exactly how to do so. My “injectables” highlight on Instagram has lots of info on everything I’ve done and I also have a botox blog post with a ton of information on it.

Have you had your breasts done? Thoughts on plastic surgery?

I have! I am all about doing whatever will make you feel like the best version of yourself. I have a full blog post on my own experience with breast augmentation.

Are you still taking makeup clients?

I am technically “officially retired” from taking makeup clients. Will I still make an exception here and there upon request if I’m available? Sure. But I’m no longer actively looking for a full book. If you’re interested in potentially booking, feel free to [contact me]5 and I can see what I can do.

How do you edit your pictures?

I mix it up between a few apps but I often go back to the Colourtone App where I use a custom preset tweaked from the “Kutti” preset available on the app. Another favorite is the Tezza app which I mostly use to edit quickly for stories.

How do you make your product collages?

I use an app called ProKnockout to remove the background of products in one click and then create the collages on an app called Over.
