& ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL ~

A chat with Sheri & Denise~Sheri and I worked on Scandal (and survived plus remained friends…haha) Sheri is busy working with Kerry Washington on her next project but we found time for a little Q & A
Enjoy our favorite products, favorite words, secrets & more

SHERI KNIGHT ~ MAKEUP ARTIST

1. FAVORITE SKINCARE? For face-RMS BEAUTY is one of my favorite moisturizers. I use the Kakadu Luxe Cream. It feels so luxurious, without the price tag of higher end brands. I love WELEDA Skin Food for body, it leaves the skin feeling buttery soft

2. CONCEALER? I am currently loving HOURGLASS Vanish Airbrush and GLOSSIER Stretch

3. SUNSCREEN? I recently discovered this super clean brand-
   Sky & Sol. It’s so clean you could eat it…but don’t if you’re vegan!
   (it’s Tallow based)

4. BEAUTY SECRETS? The LED Red Light face mask by CURRENT BODY I find it to be the most beneficial with consistent use. I like using the HALO micro-current device from ZIIP for immediately noticeable facial contouring .

5. FAVORITE WORK EXPERIENCE? Filming Shadow Force in Colombia! We spent part of that film shooting on a tiny private island off the coast of Cartagena. We spent our evernings and weekends at a five star resort on a nearby larger island, using our per diem to pamper ourselves. The job itself was challenging, but the people, the scenery and that resort were incredible-It was the most memorable time ~

6. WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO BECOME A MAKEUP ARTIST AND HOW DID YOU GET YOUR START?
   
   7. ALWAYS IN YOUR SET BAG? DERMACOLOR Camouflage Mini Palettes, They are great for so many purposes, Concealing hard to cover spots, bruises and even last minute tattoo coverage.

   8. YOUR GO-TO PODCASTS? Midlife Conversations with Natalie Jill is one I just discovered. It covers a lot of subjects but mainly women and aging. A longtime favorite-Realfoodology with Courtney Swan. I love learning how food affects every aspect of our body and mind.
   9. WHAT’S ON YOUR FOMO LIST? Products, Skincare, Wellness, Places, books etc

   10. FAVORITE THING ABOUT WORKING WITH ME?
   You are easy going, go with the flow and funny as hell! You made
   those long hours on Scandal manageable!!

   OFF THE MAP because I got to live in Hawaii, surf, drink coconuts and add to my collection of life long friends.

9. ASK ME ANYTHING?

10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT WORKING WITH ME? You get me..like I know the C word is not very lady like but like most things about me, it’s unexpected and you just go with the flow and laugh. You handled my ADD//OCD very well. You always took over and handled situations when you knew I was super over it. Scandal had it’s challenges for sure..Oh the stories we could tell!! The fact we survived and remained friends says A LOT!! Remember the time you had to go to “that” meeting with me because you didn’t trust that I wouldn’t say the my other favorite word a million times!! I’ve been told my face says it all and you can read that face but mostly, I always knew you had my back and in a world of C’s, that means a lot.
