Steven Lake as he appears at Nikon’s Look Good In Pictures with Carson Kressley:
Marta Walsh: When did your fascination for style begin?
Steven Lake: It began early. When I was a kid my mom worked as a Mary Kay director. I would carry her bags and go with her to women’s houses. I watched as she educated women on how to wear makeup to enhance their beauty and give them confidence. I also remember being in high school and the girls would show up in the fall with new hair do’s. Some completely reinvented themselves. I remember thinking “wow” how cool!

From Troy Jensen’s website I can tell that Troy also photographed and did makeup for Kim Kardashian, and Kourtney Karadshian aka the Kardashian sisters:)
How to get Khloe Kardashian’s Makeup Look by Troy Jensen:
My idea for Khloe’s look for the PETA campaign was to embody the inner wild child that she is, still being approachable, sexy, and beautiful. It was all about gorgeous sun-kissed skin and wild hair. To get the look, I called on two other professionals in my field. One, spray-tan Guru Jimmy Jimmy Coco, who bronzes up Hollywood’s top beauties – Victoria Beckham and the Pussycat Dolls, to name a few. I also called upon my long-time friend and colleague, celebrity hair-dresser, Frankie Payne, to create Khloe’s wild textured hair-style.
We also wanted to incorporate Khloe’s awareness for the environment by incorporating a touch of green (“Green is in”).
