Yesterday, Marian at Haute Travels put together a wonder class and mixer with the great Sam Fine! There was no way that I was going to miss this one!
Sam Fine is one of the best makeup artist and has touched the faces of so many celebrities such as Iman, Tyra Banks, Patti Labelle, Gabrielle Union, Vanessa Williams, Monique, Jennifer Hudson, and the list goes on.
During the class, Sam took the time to answer questions from the audience as well as a give a live demonstration of how he applies makeup to a women of color. I took notes during the class and my video below highlights some of the things I took away from his class. Also check out some of the photos I took during the event.
