Beauty Bylines™ Interviews Olympic Figure Skater Johnny Weir!

Johnny Weir has never been the sort of figure skater that follows a predictable path.  He has always played by his own rules in a sport that can sometimes be cruel to anyone who veers from the script.  In the world of figure skating, it's not enough to be able to land a triple axle.  Program composition includes everything from music and costume selection to makeup. 

We're thrilled that 2010 Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir recently shared his thoughts on everything from makeup to skincare with Beauty Bylines™. Because when it comes to makeup, Johnny Weir has very definite opinions on his favorites! 

Beauty Bylines™ Interview: Meet Trish McEvoy!

This month's Beauty Bylines™  interview with makeup artist Trish McEvoy has me in awe. I remember when I first started reading the makeup artist credits in magazines (my own versions of rock stars, I guess!) and seeing Trish McEvoy's name. Yes, she's worked on models and celebrities, but she has always believed in making personal connections with her clients. 

From the beginning of her career, Trish's focus has always been to give her clients the best quality products and teach them the most effective makeup application techniques.  It goes without saying that I am beyond excited to introduce you to Trish McEvoy!

Beauty411:  Your makeup line is streamlined and edited; your Makeup Planners keep everything organized. Does that mirror your philosophy on makeup in your own life?

Trish McEvoy:  Of course!  As makeup continues to evolve and I get to create exciting new products each season, my philosophy has always remained the same: get organized. Keep it simple.  Learn to do it yourself. Enjoy the process.
