Today I’m excited to introduce you to my friend Eric Jimenez. Eric recently did my makeup for my live event in Phoenix, and not only was he incredibly calm and skilled, but he had some great stories.

Listen in to hear him tell the story of his journey from working at Ross Dress for Less to being a celebrity makeup artist in Hollywood. Want to know how he got there? I’ll give you a hint: he used a free tool that we all should be using!

Eric is a fun, passionate artist who is in love with the beauty biz industry, and I think you’ll find his energy infectious.
