Cares Mills (@colorbycares) of Martinez-Samuel Salon, West Hollywood, CA, says model “Andie was actually discovered by our ‘Dream Team’ makeup artist Yvette at her local diner in the OC. She simply asked her if she would like to join us on a collab when she was waiting on her family at the restaurant. She said YES and the rest is history!”
