Be the Best You Camp

We are so lucky to have the opportunity to work with acclaimed author and speaker Barbara Barrington Jones on her upcoming Be The Best You Girls Camp this July 13-18th. We will have over 40 Taylor Andrews students working with the young women at this camp providing a spa experience for the girls.

Makeup Artistry Class

One of the best parts of my career is sharing the information I have learned with up and coming artists. Every month I have the opportunity to work with new students in the Taylor Andrews Beauty Makeup Artistry Course. It is so great seeing how far their skills have come in just two short weeks. We wrap up each class with a professional photo shoot to showcase their talent and creativity. Here are just a few shots from the May class.  Great job girls!

Utah Valley Magazine

Last month I was interviewed by Utah Valley Magazine for the July/August issue. (page 87) I really enjoyed the chance to share what I love about my career and the wonderful industry I am part of!

The Eyes Are The Windows To The Soul.

When I was 21 and just getting serious with makeup I went into the department store and asked a Lancome artist for their assistance about what colors would look best on me, and how to apply it.  While working with me, she said something I have never forgotten. She said, "Sherri you have beautiful eyes,  if I were you I would play those up.”  I expected her to notice my flaws and tell me how to correct them. Instead she focused on what she saw as my strengths and how to bring them out. That experience was a valuable lesson for me on focusing on the positive. Since that day I have always tried to look at what I like about me and not the negatives. Every woman has something unique and beautiful about her. Whether it is flawless skin, stunning lips, captivating eyes or cute dimples when you smile. Find out what yours is and play it up!

 

The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without 

speaking confess the secrets of the heart.

One of the most frequently asked questions I hear is, “How do I make my eyes stand out?” So lets start there. If you want your eyes to really pop, remember that opposites attract. Choose shadows, liners and mascara that contrast with your eye color. Whether your eyes are blue, green, brown or hazel, using opposing makeup colors will always make them dazzle.

Below are a few basic guidelines to follow when choosing colors for the eyes.
