Swimming attire is a difficult fit. Why? The honest answer is bodies come in all shapes and sizes, swimsuits mean more skin and the possibility of revealing your imperfections. This is difficult for almost anyone. The main goal is to find something that covers the right spots and flaunts the rest.

I have worked in the fashion and make-up industry for years. I’ve worked on a lot of faces – some with cold sores. Unfortunately, by the time those faces get to me – the show must go on! As much as we’d like to cancel our big event until we are unblemished – it is not an option.
