I launched Make Up For Ever in the United States in 42 Nordstrom doors. I was the only employee for the first 9 months traveling across the USA, opening all accounts, writing orders, hiring and training of staff, doing all events, and acting as Account Executive, Trainer, and national Artist. Prior to leaving Make Up For Ever, I worked with chemists to created their current formula for their powder foundation, which is one of the only "photo-friendly" powder foundations on the market.

In my position as Beauty Director, I was responsible for training the beauty consultants from every cosmetic line. My training courses consisted of makeup application, skin care, sales techniques, event planning, and seasonal color and new product updates. Perks of this position were seasonal trips to New York to attent private trainings with Vincent Longo, Trish McEvoy and many Artistic Directors from major cosmetics companies.
