Q: Tell me one thing that keeps you strong and consistent as an independent force.
Samantha LA: Keeping in mind every aspect during freelance, scheduled work, when times get hard, no matter what-that you are working for the Lord. Try to keep God in your life. Everything I do brings me back to God.
Q: What is your idea of a look that is timeless?
Samantha LA: Anything that compliments pearls.
Pearls will never get old! Never.
Q: Do you have any beauty icons or female role models that have inspired your work?
Samantha LA: I have three. I hate to say it, but my first, I would say is Marilyn Monroe, for standing out with her curves.
My second would be Dorothy Dandrif. Lastly, Josephine Baker.
Q: What is your mission in your work as an independent female MUA in the modern world?
Samantha LA: My talent has enabled me to use the skills I have to complete God’s mission.
Religious art is powerful, and in my magazine I am open to all religions and ethnicities.
Q: What should a person eat for healthy skin?
Samantha LA: I would say fruit is good. Green leafy vegetables, and water.
Lots and lots and lots of water.
Q: Any awkward moments or obstacles when working with someone?
Samantha LA: (laughs) Contouring a big forehead, or highlighting a small chin to make it appear larger.
Q: What is your goal with the models you train and work with?
Samantha LA: My company welcomes all ethnicities, and they must be respectful young ladies in order to get them where they need to be in life, in this industry or not.
With how I train them, they’ll have these things for them later in each individual life anywhere they go.
Q: What are colors in your opinion that should never be worn in cosmetology?
Samantha LA: I think specifically on the eyes..yellow, orange, or pink should not be worn casually. That should never happen unless you are going by a bolder theme.
Q: Any specific color palette for 2015? New looks you’ll look forward to in the summer?
Samantha LA: I would like to see a lot more natural beauty in correspondence of bright colors, for example, a neutral face with bright pop lip color. Emphasis on the natural look, but not too much contour. Contouring is more appealing in the fall/winter season.
