1. Tell us about Butterfli Me and what makeup means to you?
Butterfli Me is a Makeup and Lash Studio I recently opened on Jamboree in Irvine next to the Melting Pot restaurant. After a 16 year career in cosmetics, working for many of the major department store lines, I realized there was a void in the market. Everyone was providing products but nobody was providing service. Women need help with application, lessons and tools. So I teamed up with my sister, celebrity makeup artist Dusty Starks and created Butterfli Me. We focus on helping women achieve their personal beauty goals without the sales pressure that is experienced at most cosmetics counters.
Personally, I love makeup. I love everything about it. It’s fun and creative and it helps women feel beautiful and confident and that’s empowering.

6. What can’t you live without?
My BB Cream (moisturizer, sunscreen and base color in one)…but then again most of my clients can’t live without it either.
7. What’s next on your “to do” list?
Roll out Butterfli Me Studios across the U.S.
8. Biggest regret?
I don’t think in terms of regrets. It implies that you’re holding onto negativity. Every decision is an opportunity to learn. I keep looking forward and thinking positively.
9. Cause that you’re most interested/involved in?
Having been a kid in the L.A. foster care system and a mom of two boys, I have a soft spot in my heart for Children support organizations. Although I don’t sit on any boards, I support as many charities as I can both personally and through my company.
