Acknowledgments

My makeup journey has been full of inspiration from the industry greats—Kevyn Aucoin, Bobbi Brown, Pat McGrath, and the creators of MAC: Frank Toskan and Frank Angelo. Your artistry and wisdom has opened me up to a vibrant and colorful world.

Thanks must go to my mother, for teaching me about makeup in my early years, for always being happy to talk about lipstick, and for supporting my decision to go to makeup school.

Thank you to all the women who have lent their faces over the years so I could hone my skills. A special thank you to my sister, Sami, who always sat patiently through makeup applications whenever I felt the urge to create.

Huge thanks to the team at Entangled, especially to Alycia Tornetta and Liz Pelletier, for supporting my stories and giving them such a wonderful home.

And to my incredible agent, Jill Marsal, thanks for putting all my deadlines into a spreadsheet so we could figure out when on earth I was going to write all these books.

As always, I have to mention the love and support of my husband. Thank you for being my biggest cheerleader and for your unflinching belief that I can do anything no matter how crazy my schedule gets.
