BLOSSOMING FACE OF THE DAY: SAM FINE STYLE

Hey Blossoms,

I am a makeup artist so there is no secret that I would educate myself with the work and techniques of those before me. Introducing one of my favorite Celebrity Makeup Artists: Mr. Sam Fine. He has an amazing book & DVD that breaks down his technique and the steps he takes to achieve a flawless finish each and every time. He is the man behind the gorgeous faces of Iman, Naomi Campbell, Vanessa Williams, Tyra and even Patti LaBelle plus many many more. His professionalism, charm and amazing skills are highly praised!

I follow Sam Fine on Twitter at @SamFineBeauty and he is so personable. He answers your questions (many times the same questions over and over again) and doesn't complain, offers invaluable advice, honest critique if asked and is always positive and supportive of those seeking to venture into makeup.

Without further adieu here's the MOTD (Man of The Day lol)

Here's photos of some of the celebrities he has worked with numerous times over the years

Here's his coveted DVD & book

Both which inspired me to do a BLOSSOMING FACE OF THE DAY: SAM FINE STYLE
