Michael Moore
Michael Moore has worked in the cosmetics industry since 1988 with brand leaders such as Bobbi Brown Essentials, Chanel, and Estée Lauder. In New York City, he was often seen backstage during fashion week, supporting major designers such as Oscar de la Renta, Bob Mackie, and Vera Wang. Michael's client list included Oscar winners, First Ladies of the United States, and royalty.
Eventually, the quality of the Colorado lifestyle—the healthy, natural atmosphere that inspires his technique—drew him out west, where he opened Moore For Life in Denver’s own center of chic, Cherry Creek North.
Today, Michael works regularly with print and television media for photo shoots, fashion content, and special events. His makeup artistry has graced numerous publications such as INStyle and The New York Times, and television shows Oprah and The Today Show.


Mary Erickson
Camera Ready Cosmetics was founded in 2003 by Makeup Artist Mary Erickson, with one vision in mind:
"It’s been my dream to have a pro makeup showroom, a place for artists to play with professional products without the typical makeup store attitude. I can't stand going into a store where the owners and employees think they're doing the customer a favor by being there."
"We've narrowed our products down to the best of the best. We have chosen the brands that respect and formulate their products for artists. You won’t find us in high end malls and we don't wear matching brush belts. However, we treat our customers with respect. If you want to play with products for a few hours and buy nothing, that's O.K... come in and play! Our store is your playground."
Having been in the makeup artist industry for over 30 years, Mary knows quality and value and understands what an artist needs. She's the buyer for Camera Ready Cosmetics, and chooses only what she would use on set.
"If you are looking for a product and you don’t find it here it’s because we have something better. Just ask us!"

WHY THE OWL?
Being in the beauty industry for 13+ years, Founder Henry Vasquez spent the 5 years prior to the launch of Hank & Henry Beauty working for other cosmetic brands focusing on Product/Packaging Development, Consulting, and Branding. When it came time to design the logo for his own company he wanted the logo to represent the person who instilled some of the most important values and lessons in him. Known to symbolize wisdom, Henry chose to make the Barn Owl the logo of Hank & Henry Beauty to honor his grandmother Frances Vasquez for being the wisdom in his life. The Barn Owl has always symbolized his grandmother, and owls are something she is well known to have an admiration for. This is also the reason Henry has the Barn Owl tattoo'd on his neck.
“It is important that you always remember the importance of doing good for those less fortunate. Life, not always kind, is preparing you to make a difference for others. So get up, go out, and change the world... even if it’s with a makeup brush and a smile”

Ethel Reddy - E The Look
'Committed In Making You Look and Feel Beautiful' is the motto I have lived by for the past 38 years while I have served in the Beauty Industry. As VP at Bank of America for over 36 years, I have managed to be involved in the beauty industry by working on Pageant Queens & Contestants (notably Miss Asian Global & Asian American), many a beautiful Bride and for an Independent Hollywood Movie. And along the way I kept up with the industry by educating myself by attending Beauty Schools, Trade Shows & Conferences. Since late 2000 I have embraced the Lash Industry and have strengthened my lash knowledge & skills which compliments my Hair & Make-up business quiet well.
I was awarded the “President’s Volunteer Service Award” which goes to show my upbeat personality & giving nature. My favorite volunteering is with 'Look Good Feel Better' to enrich their patients self-confidence through beauty. Recently, we are studying the effects on lashes and the course of action that will best address these changes.
