Look Behind The Look

In Episode 2.9, I finally got to enjoy some time with my friend Suzy Gerstein who talks with me about her early days in the industry assisting makeup legends like Dick Page, Lisa Butler, Val Garland and Chris Colbeck.  We talk about her great love for her time spent working with the foundation Dress For Success, her obsession with finally getting organized thanks to Grishan Roof, and we talk about the importance of set etiquette, taking rules and breaking them so that your technique becomes your own, and as always so.  much.  more.  Enjoy!
