Today, I am making two exceptions to my rules about who I interview for my BeautyViews… First, Damone is a man. Second, I actually have never had the pleasure of meeting him. Why, might you ask, is he this week’s subject of a BeautyView? First, I am obsessed with eyebrows and eyebrow gurus. Second, my BFF and business partner Catherine told me that he is the one responsible for making her eyebrows become “eyebrows.” Enough said. (Oh, and he wants to go to dinner with Diana Ross!).

AP: What are your three top tips for travel? DR: 1. A fabulous pair of jeans to change up from day to evening. 2. A nice scarf to wrap around your nose and mouth on the plane, to protect you from germs, and also around your shoulders if it gets a bit chilly. 3.
