My goal is to accentuate the beauty that everyone already has through the art of makeup.” LaToya Perry is a Chicago based professional makeup artist and has worked for many notable cosmetic companies such as Chanel, MAC and Prescriptives. While being in the industry for several years, she has received many certifications and extensive training from some of the top instructors in the business and eventually became a manager for the No. 1 Custom Blending Counter in the nation.

Besides LaToya’s artistic ability, her magnetic personality and professionalism makes her an asset to Vous Etes Belle or any production team.

AFROBELLE INTRODUCTION

Afrobelle is a new column that will feature a weekly article by one of my writers. She is a 23 year old Nigerian-American who also hails from Chicago. Our friendship dates back to our childhood, and she has been writing for as long as I can remember. She has a Bachelors Degree in English Literature and is currently pursuing a Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. The articles in Afrobelle’s column will be similar to the articles you are used too. However, they will be more personal, blog or journal style entries. You can expect the same great beauty tips and empowering messages…that is the Vous Etes Belle standard. Afrobelle will highlight some of our interests, i.e. culture, community, current events and how they relate to beauty. Afrobelle is just an invitation to get to know us better. And I do mean all of us.

I hope you enjoy it!
