Danielle's Top Ten Picks

Due to the popularity of the article entitled... "Elke's Top Ten" (see side bar), I thought that I would feature another makeup artist along with her top ten products. Below you will get to know a little about Danielle and her career as a makeup artist.

I'm a Florida based professional Makeup & Hair Artist who mostly works in the fitness industry. Some of my clients include Muscle Mag, Oxygen Magazine, Natural Muscle Magazine, Estee Lauder, Merle Norman, ESPN and Kevin Weaver Fitness Productions, INC.

My work has taken me virtually all over Florida and as far as New York and New Mexico. I have had the privilege of working with such talent as WCW's Torrie Wilson, WWF's Trish Stratus, LA's favorite dance guru Madonna Grimes and X Gladiator star "Dallas" to name a few.  I write for Natural Muscle Magazine where I have my own monthly column "Beauty Watch", I also have a monthly newsletter "Makeup Your Mind", and lastly, I have my own all natural skincare line, Aroma-Essence Body Essentials, where I offer facial masques, facial tonics, bath crystals and body splashes. Being in the business has obviously exposed me to literally hundreds of cosmetics and hair products, whether they be inexpensive to pricey I definitely have my favorites! Remember, just because a product is expensive doesn't make it any better!

My top ten faves which are not in any particular order, are as follows:

• Dep Texturizing Gel Ultimate Hold 
• Fragrance Free Dove Moisturizing Bar
• Maybelline Great Lash Mascara 
• Jane blush in "Blushing Apricot" 
• Sonia Kashuk's Perfecting Liquid Foundation in "Cream" 
• Sonia Kashuk's Loose Powder in "Flesh"
• Sonia Kashuk's Dual Finish Powder Foundation in "Linen" 
• Hard Candy's Super Shiny Gloss in "Oxygen" 
• English Ideas Lipstick in "Baroness Brown" and "Cambridge" 
• AND OF COURSE All of my Aroma-Essence Body Essentials skincare and bodycare products! :)

Don't forget to look for my latest interview with Deborah Blumenthal about Multi-Purpose Makeup in the December issue of Golf Digest Woman! That's it for now, but you can be sure to catch me every now and then blabbing in the beauty.about.com forum! Until then, have fun with your makeup!
