Williams, Halle Berry, Brandy and supermodels Tyra Banks, Veronica Webb, Iman and Naomi Campbell all have in common? They’ve relied on the expert hand of makeup artist Sam Fine to look their most glamorous. That’s because Fine knows that the key to making up goes beyond painting a pretty face. Long before he became a celebrity makeup artist, the Chicago native paid his dues working behind the makeup counter of department stores, and experience he fondly refers to as “the real school of beauty”. There he came in contact with women from all walks of life that wanted one thing - to look their absolute best. He made it his mission to show them how to accentuate their unique beauty by using colors and shades that would best complement their complexions. Fine’s talent and determination have taken him far from the makeup counter, making him one of today’s most sought after makeup artists. His work has appeared on the covers and pages of Cosmopolitan, Harper’s Bazaar, Essence, Vibe and Marie Claire and was chosen as the first African - American spokesperson for Revlon and Covergirl Cosmetics. But it was the experiences from his formative years selling makeup that inspired him to write his first book, Fine Beauty: Beauty Basics and Beyond for African - American women, a how-to guide that highlights his many accomplishments. As follow-up to his best-selling book,Sam Fine, introduced his first instructional DVD, The Basics of Beauty in October 2009. As a continuation of his commitment to educate women of color on the “fine” art of makeup, this step-by-step tutorial features three individual makeovers and addresses a myriad of beauty challenges by focusing on tools, technique and product selection. Sharing his wealth of experience and expertise, Fine enables viewers to fully understand all that goes into creating a flawless, natural-looking face. We are excited to have Sam on our show and we welcome your calls to Mr. Fine 01:00:00danas loftnosam fine fine beauty,makeup,halle berry,iman,makeup dvdWhat do superstars Patti Labelle, Vanessa L.

Clients: Have you ever been the first appointment in the salon and had to wait two hours before your stylist even shows up? Or has every time you have gone to the salon for a wash and style you end up being there for five hours or more? Stylist: Do you have that client that is always more than thirty minutes late and they screw up your schedule for the whole day? Or that client that cancels five appointment (last minute) before they accually show up for one? I want to get down to the nitty gritty of what is proper salon etiquette. I want to hear from stylist as well as clients about what is right and what is wrong when getting your hair done in a salon. Let's discuss this matter, try and fix the problem, so that everyone can have a better salon experience. When you are paying top dollar shouldn't you be getting top service?
