HM: What is one lesson you are grateful for learning throughout your career in beauty?
MR: Treat everyone like the superstar that they are!

HM:What advice would you give to young beauty industry professionals trying to make their fame?

Jemma Kidd Professional Brushes

We all aspire to look flawless. The only way to get that airbrushed effect is by using the right tools. Most importantly, the right brushes. I have a variety of brushes, but I recently came across Jemma Kidd's makeup brushes and fell in love. The brushes look absolutely chic and glamorous. As far as quality goes, the bristles are top-notch and very easy to maintain. They glide seamlessly across your face and you will see the difference in your makeup look after using these brushes to apply your makeup.
