VP of Marketing and Public Relations

Elizabeth Wade (Liza) has been in the cosmetics industrysince 1996. While attending to her grandmother in the wake of health problems she discovered the power of make-up as a healing tool when she did color touches at her grandmother's bedside. Since then her dream has been to channel this same energy into a volunteer network of like minded make-up artists catering to a diverse group of women in need ranging from cancer patients experiencing the ravaging side-effects of chemotherapy to victims of clinical depression too deep into suffering to remember to "do" their face. Liza believes extraordinary things can happen when ordinary talents are put to work offering "common-touch healing".
