I first met Vanessa on a Zoom lesson back in May. To say I was having a bad day is an understatement. It was one of those days during the height of COVID lockdown that I just couldn’t seem to get myself together.  Bad day at work, lots of tears out of the blue and couldn’t manage to shower or do anything with my hair even.  I was miserable.  But, I wasn’t about to reschedule my Zoom call with Vanessa. It was exactly what I needed, especially that day!   

Vanessa was amazing!  She was kind and patient with me and even through the computer could suggest and recommend colors for me and they were perfectly on.  I couldn’t have been happier with the time she spent with me and I was excited to get the pieces I had decided to order once our call was done.  

Since that day I’ve learned that Vanessa is the Global Artistry Trainer for Hourglass Cosmetics.  She has created beautiful looks like this one shown above for their new Unlocked Instant Extensions mascara campaign, along with many other looks in their advertising. If you aren’t familiar with Hourglass Cosmetics, you should familiarize yourself. Not only are most of their products vegan, they are working to make the line 100% vegan. They are a cruelty free company and their products don’t contain many of the ingredients that are toxic. They also give to the NonHuman Rights Project.  In addition to all these wonderful things, I’ve been using a lot of products for several years and for a big reason – they are fantastic products! Here, Vanessa is sharing with us her favorite Hourglass Cosmetics products for women over 40.
