Today, I speak to one of the most influential make-up artists and brand founders in the beauty industry today, Trish McEvoy.
Trish revolutionised make-up application in the 1970s with the advent of make-up brushes shaped to simplify and enhance application. With her husband, renowned dermatologist Dr. Ronald Sherman, she opened the doors of the Dr. Ronald Sherman/Trish McEvoy Skin Care Center in New York in 1978 and pioneered the partnership of beauty and science that is now an industry standard.
Trish is committed to the creation of the highest quality products while putting professional make-up application skills in every woman's hands through her unique teaching programme. The invention of her iconic Makeup Planner in the early 1990s established her place as the founder of make-up organisation and functionality.
Trish has a one-woman-at-a-time approach to teaching make-up applications that work and stripping away the inessential clutter from our make-up bags, beauty routines and lives. She has absolutely enhanced women's lives with her work and her guiding philosophy is that women should be able to maintain a standard of beauty to live their best lives each day and not be obligated to sacrifice their beauty because of the constraints of time, space and the natural changes that occur with age.
Let's meet her.

I can't live without my serum, base essential shadow primer and eye brightener, eye liner, my curling mascara, even skin foundation, correct and brighten for my underdarkness, bronzer and instant pick me up gloss.
Describe a day in your life.
A day in my life is up at 5, coffee, walk the dogs, calls with team members from 6.45am to 8.30am, go to my skincare center and stores, lunch, work at the lab, go out with friends, go home and prepare for next day.
What are your thoughts on the beauty industry at the moment (trends, financial climate, organic, natural products, Dr brands etc)?
The beauty market is going through a time of change... in these difficult financial times women are looking for products they know will make a difference... results oriented skincare products, long wear colour and fragrance that lift one's spirits is what women want today.
