Chris began his cosmetic career in 1983 when pursuing Christmas money by fragrance modeling. Quickly discouraged by this venture, he was convinced to try makeup. After a brief two-day seminar, Chris went to work at local malls. He quickly discovered a liking and skill for this vocation and seeked a higher calling. He called and secured a position with CHANEL where he was groomed to be one of their premier artists. This groundwork led to many years of direct customer interaction. To date, Chris has directly assisted over 250,000 people with their beauty needs and has personally applied full makeup to over 25,000 clients. It is this staggering statistic that qualifies Chris as a true spokesperson for the consumer and their needs.
