Growing up, Alice An spent many of her free hours after school poring over fashion and beauty magazines. Soon after attaining a bachelor's degree in fashion design, Alice made a beeline for New York City. However, after working in the apparel design trenches for what she calls "too long," Alice found that what she really wanted was to make a career playing dress-up. Now Alice can be found anywhere from leading beauty teams backstage during fashion week, to working her makeup magic on set, to sitting in on product development meetings— taking her passion for makeup artistry (and her penchant for playing dress up) far beyond the average cosmetic fiend.
