We had a quick chat with Joe to hear about upcoming plans and holiday recommendations for our members:

GGR:  What's your favorite thing about being a makeup artist?

JH: My favorite thing about being a makeup artist is watching the confidence boost my client gets when they getup from my chair.  Nothing better than seeing someone feel so comfortable in their skin.

GGR:  Any cool upcoming projects that you are working on?

JH: I have a couple exciting new projects coming up, one of my clients is Co-hosting a national television show & I'm the creative director on my best friend Jonathan Mendelsohns album cover that's just around the corner. 

GGR:  Favorite NYC neighborhood?

JH: My favorite NYC neighborhood is Soho.  When I first moved to NYC I would go to Soho to get inspired on everything beauty & fashion.  I still do actually, it holds a special place in my heart.

GGR: Any Halloween plans?

JH: My Halloween plans are always devoted to my friends & clients.  My phone & email are always full of everyone wanting to fulfill their fantasies.

GGR: Any cool makeup tips/trends you recommend for the upcoming holiday season?

JH: My holiday trend recommendation is add a little sparkle & a bold lip.  Find a shimmering shadow that matches your eye shadow & add it to the bottom of your inner eye.  Choose a bold lip that brings out your beautiful skin & give them something to talk about.

Green Tips from GoGreenRide

As New Yorkers, our mailboxes and apartments are tiny enough and don't need the clutter of unwanted paper mail. The GREENYC website, ran by the City of New York, makes it super easy for you to unsubscribe to mailing lists. Unsubscribing is quick, easy and free, just fill out their easy forms

Here are some cool facts from their site:

New Yorkers generate more than 2.5 million tons of paper waste each year - which equals the weight of 7 Empire State Buildings!

Reducing the amount of paper we use is a great way to protect the environment. It conserves precious resources like water, wood and fuel.

By opting out of unwanted mail, you can eliminate mailbox clutter while helping make New York City greener and greater.
