As embarrassing as it is to admit having been on camera and stage more times than I can count, I never learned to do my own make up. I always relied on the artist assigned to the job, or I hired my own stylist based on my location, but that was always a crapshoot. I would often end up looking NOT like me -- garish, harsh, severe or just plain weird: eyebrows too high, lips too strong, rouge to red. You've been there, too? It was stressful. Either I did my own make up using my limited beginner-level skills or I'd risk looking like a weirdo. Enter Leslie Christin. Wowwwwww. Not only did Leslie's makeup artistry bring out the most beautiful version of me; she miraculously taught me how to do it myself in repeatable, reliable, step by step system that works every time. The confidence, independence, and cost savings this has afforded me is beyond amazing. Leslie is fun, talented, professional and an absolute find. A make up lesson with Leslie is the gift that keeps on giving...for the rest of your life. Every time someone says, "Wow, you look gorgeous!!" you will smile and think, "TGFL" -- Thank God For Leslie. As a P.S. my private session with her was such a fabulous experience that I booked two more privates as birthday gifts both for a close friend and for my sister.
