Pati met Kerry when Kerry lived in LA. They met at a party celebrating the top style makers in Hollywood and of course, she was on THE top of the list. Kerry liked her immediately and since then they’ve worked together on a few projects over the years. It is not her unparalleled talent that hooked Kerry, it was her gracious heart and infectious smile. Her warmth and humor come through daily on her Instagram posts where she and friends including her gorgeous mini-me daughter do exactly what you would expect, play with makeup. Follow @patidubroff and see how it’s done from natural to dramatic and everything in between.
