When it comes to makeup, Thom believes that the
rules are constantly changing. “Since the beginning,
the Entertainment Industry has relied on us to
create bigger and grander makeup creations. To
deliver the best product, a true artist must always
continue to learn. If you think you’ve learned
everything you can from makeup, you run the risk of
becoming stagnant." |
