Staci Hardy is a woman known for enhancing the beauty of her clients with a soft and subtle brush stroke. 

 

Her love affair with makeup started at an early age when she mainly played in her mother’s makeup case focusing on the lipstick. Her artistic turning point occurred back in 1995 when the Michael Jackson “Scream” video debuted. Staci watched the video and was instantly drawn to Janet Jackson’s smokey eye.  She knew that makeup was going to be her lifelong career and realized this was a craft that she had to learn carefully. Staci went on to research Janet Jackson’s make up artist Kevin Aucoin, and after collecting all of Kevin Aucoin’s books, Staci became more determined to learn his makeup techniques and combine them with her own natural edge.
