Eva is a veteran actress from New York who recently moved to Richmond and took up makeup artistry as a means to pay the bills between gigs. She soon discovered a new passion: helping women look and feel their best. Lately she has focused on bringing makeup artistry and acting together by documenting the diverse stories of the women who sit in her makeup chair and then bringing them to life on stage. Her mission is to convince every woman that she is beautiful — with or without makeup. Eva’s acting credits include Law and Order: Criminal Intent, Saturday Night Live, and All My Children. She holds a BFA in Musical Theatre from The New School University in NYC.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)..(read more at source)

  1. always thank God for something which you like about yourself , like thank God for giving you eyes to see , feet to walk , hands to work . Do it daily before going to sleep.

  2. Women are obsessed with beauty because they know that's pretty much all they have to offer, otherwise they wouldn't be. It's not too hard to see and understand.

  3. If I can't be pretty. I at least won't to be relatively pretty. I'm just being honest. I've pushed away dates from men because I'm not comfortable about how my face looks. My heart is open to a loving relationship, men really like my personality, however I don't allow myself to get too involved. I just want to experience freedom and not have to deal with all the restrictions and suppression.

  4. I don’t find the need to be beautiful to enjoy my life, not being beautiful does not prevent me from the world I want. Physical beauty is besides the point, whether I possessed it or not, I am secure in myself.

  5. I'll tell you why not. Because without it women feel worse (-wracked with self consciousness)and that's cheating themself (and men, and marraiges, and our children) of humanity and standing up for picking on women's "imperfections" RATHER THAN DEVELOPING COPING SKILLS AND EVERYONE LEARNING TO LOVE real female faces.
    Beautiful ted talk though without a doubt. I cried. 💫😢

  6. You don't have to be a mover or shaker to reject cosmetics, some of us just never had any interest in it. Even as a teenager, my mother had to bribe me with new books or videogames to sit and let her put it on me for school picture day, birthdays, weddings, funerals. I'm 33 now, and still don't own any makeup…no foundation, mascara, lipstick, eyeliner, whatever else gets used. The last time I wore makeup was when mom sat me down and dolled me up for my junior prom in 8th grade. (For my 12th grade senior prom, my guy friends and I had a sleepover at one of their houses, watching anime, eating pizza and doughnuts, and playing videogames.) So maybe it doesn't take being 96 or surviving cancer to appreciate your normal looks. Maybe if you just like yourself, that's enough.
