With over a decade of experience beautifying women of color, Sam Fine is now showcasing his professional tips and techniques in his premier instructional DVD called FINE: The Basics of Beauty.

As the expert responsible for some of the iconic makeup looks on supermodels and actresses such as Iman, Tyra Banks, Jennifer Hudson, Queen Latifah and Vanessa Williams, Fine demystifies beauty tricks, debunks beauty myths and empowers women to enjoy the benefits of perfectly applied makeup. Highly recognized for his ability to translate trends, tips and techniques into looks that work for an array of skin tones, it has been his mission to offer women of color a blueprint for creating looks they once thought were beyond their reach.

“Having dedicated my career to enhancing the beauty in women of color, I felt that an instructional DVD was a natural step toward my goal of educating women everywhere, in much the same way that I’ve enlightened my clients,” Fine explains. “Translating trends and finding products that deliver have helped me become more sensitive to “real” women who don’t have the time, patience or know-how to experiment with makeup. This DVD will equip them with simple, useful techniques that will make applying makeup a joy rather than a chore.”

This tutorial speaks to a myriad of cosmetic concerns, from covering blemishes and discoloration to creating a smoky eye. In just an hour, Fine offers endless application tips and countless professional tricks to teach anyone from the makeup novice to the aspiring makeup professional. Fine focuses his talent on tools, technique and color selection, enabling viewers to fully understand all that goes into creating a flawless, natural-looking face.

The Basics of Beauty features three individual step-by-step makeovers that address a variety of beauty challenges. From creating a natural look to a trend-inspired one, Fine highlights the type of products and application methods required to recreate each look. The DVD also includes special features that offer a glimpse into Fine’s fast-paced professional life, such as behind-the-scenes footage of Fine at work with star client, Iman and a Q&A session in which he provides answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.
