Face It (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781523395576)

The path that launched Gail into the world of beauty as an artist, product designer, cosmetics manufacturer, and retailer, was a rather circuitous process. Gail started oil painting classes at age five. Years later, she graduated from University of Maryland's School of Business, which led to a 12-year journey as an institutional broker on Wall Street. Gail came to realization that she was utterly unfulfilled in an uninspiring career. She departed from Wall Street, co-authored a parenting book, and launched a beauty business. Gail Sagel is now a cosmetic developer, brand ambassador, makeup artist, published author, and the creator of the award winning Brush-On Liquid Mineral Makeup. Since 2000, when Gail opened her FACES Beautiful(R) cosmetic company in Westport, Connecticut, she has been affectionately known as the "Eyebrow Queen." Gail is a busy, dynamic entrepreneur and single mother who believes every woman will maximize her look and feel great by following her time-saving and easy-to-apply makeup techniques. Gail, a member of Cosmetic Executive Women, has been recognized by the National Association of Professional Women and works with a diverse clientele of actors, musicians, models, writers, CEOs, society persona, and devotes most of her expertise to everyday women. Her work has been featured in New Beauty, ELLE Canada, PARADE Magazine, The Examiner, Bella Magazine, VIV Magazine, Westport Magazine, Fairfield Magazine, SheKnows.com. Gail's background is unique, as she's combined manufacturing and retailing cosmetic products after a successful career as a Wall Street derivatives executive. After having twins, Gail was named president of the NYC chapter of her twins' support group and co-authored a parenting book, "Making Childcare Choices," prior to her following her passion for cosmetics and launching FACES Beautiful(R). As an advocate and supporter of "giving back", Gail currently supports many national and local charities including: American Breast Cancer Foundation, Juvenile Diabetes, the American Red Cross, Near and Far Aid, Pink Aid, Project Return, Domestic Violence Crisis Center, Pantene Beautiful Lengths, and offers mentorship intern programs for junior & high school girls and college students. In an effort to give back to women of the world, she looks forward to sharing her knowledge and unique techniques to enhance every woman's lifestyle.
