Alisha and I have been working together for years! Hair and makeup is included in my high school senior sessions and highly recommended for my headshot & branding portrait sessions. We did a little interview including her best makeup tip!

How long have you been a stylist?
10 years this summer!

If you could only use three makeup products, what would they be?
Mascara, Lipstick, Concealer

What’s your best makeup tip?
Hydrate and properly prep your skin before makeup application. Nothing is worse than spending the money on products and time on makeup skills for all of it to be wasted due to poor skin prep.

What’s your best hair tip?
When going for a beautiful wave I like to start at the top/center of the hair length and curl from there down instead of taking the curling iron to the bottom and curling up or curling only the center. It gives a more natural and longer lasting wave.

Favorite makeup brand?
Right now, Make Up Forever. But last year I was stuck on Tarte!

Favorite stylist?
Lisa Eldridge. I love her passion for the history of makeup.

What do most people do wrong when it comes to makeup?
I find eyeliner trends seem to never die with the generation. Regardless if it suits the persons face after aging. Eyeliner can drastically change any makeup look. It pays off to know what compliments your face regardless of the trends.

Favorite part of your job?
Making people feel beautiful. It’s like floating on a cloud when I see someone smile and say they “Love it!” once seeing themselves after being in my chair.
