Derek J and Sam Fine

What do superstars Queen Latifah, Kerry Washington, Jennifer Hudson and supermodels Tyra Banks, Iman and Naomi Campbell all have in common? They’ve relied on the expert hand of makeup artist Sam Fine to look their most glamorous. That’s because Fine knows that the key to making up goes beyond painting a pretty face. Long before he became a celebrity makeup artist, the Chicago native paid his dues working behind the makeup counter of department stores, an experience he fondly refers to as “the real school of beauty”. There he came in contact with women from all walks of life that wanted one thing - to look their absolute best. He made it his mission to show them how to accentuate their unique beauty by using colors and shades that would best complement their complexions. But most importantly he helped them eliminate their doubts and apprehension about applying makeup so that they too could achieve dazzling results.

Wow this was truly AMAZING!!! I've always heard the Name Sam Fine, but never seen him. A face to a Name, while they are still with us. Patti Labelle, always gave him a shout out. And he did the same for her today. This was GREAT! Need him back on for next season. Great interview. Keep these videos coming.

Sam Fine was exceptional. Thanks.

My main take away is: Love your craft and the money will follow. If you’re knowledgeable and confident, you’ll make it!

[@marcmurray7244]

I agree. Working the typical 9 to 5 and so unhappy. You need an action plan though.
