Steph is well traveled and loves adventure. Her love for cosmetics started when she was 13 and would watch her older sister do her own. Makeup always made her feel better behind her thick glasses and blemishes and does make up to make women feel good. As a Make Up Artist she sees beauty in everyone and shares this enthusiasm with anyone that sits in front of her.
