Bobbi: “To bring out Hannah’s eyes, we smudged a soft brown pencil on her top lash line and a slate shadow applied with a flat eyeliner brush on her lower lash line. Finishing with several coats of mascara is a sexy, but still classic, way to do a smoky eye.’

Hannah: The best thing about my job is people and making them feel better about themselves. There is nothing better than when a woman gets off the chair and skips away. People can come in downbeat or with no confidence, and with just a little time and a bit of makeup, they leave on cloud nine.
