Earlier this week I had the pleasure of teaching a master class to a group of passionate young Russian makeup artists who were in town for The Makeup Show. We had a blast together! This I think was what they liked best:

If you’d like me to give a master class for your group contact me. It would be my please to create a curriculum to suit you needs. I am available worldwide and love traveling!

Because we just don’t need fur!

In this day and age there’s really no reason at all to use makeup brushes made of animal fur. The quality of synthetic fibers has come such a long way I’d say cruelty-free brushes equal and often surpasse old fashion animal fur brushes. Ask your favourite makeup retailer for quality cruelty-free brushes or visit one of these companies for top quality products.

EcoTools is an eco-conscious cosmetic company with good brushes and a great philosophy.
