The minute you decide to do what you love to do, you have made a life plan for yourself and a career choice.
The eyes are so telling. That's how you engage with people and bond with them. I love direct, strong eye contact.
The power of cosmetics and the effect they can have on one's happiness and confidence is very real.
To scale your business, you need to delegate responsibilities to others and establish a strong company culture.
Makeup and beauty is essentially art so I really can't say that I dislike any trend. I love seeing innovation and creativity. It feeds my soul!
I always felt different and it was because I was Middle Eastern. Where most people were very fair, light-skinned, and had blue eyes, I was hairy with dark hair and dark skin.

I have had my fair share of nights out.
Over the years, I've really put in the time to achieve flawless skin.

I fell in love with Instagram.
I drink bullet coffee, and I make it myself because I hate coffee. I get a shot of raw coffee, mix it with butter from grass-fed cows and coconut milk. It's amazing!
Sometimes, you really need to trust your gut.
