KEVYN MOMENT

Kevyn has always been a part of my journey. I remember purchasing his first book & being amazed at the intentional sculpting & transformations he did with ALL types of women. He had the eye to see beauty in EVERYONE.

I see myself the same way, I love working with people that normally don’t wear makeup.. I also love a beautiful artist or model.

Being able to work on ALL types of people... Ages, Genders, Races, and Skin Types is a true skill.
