Industry pros gathered on May 11, 2017, at MAC Pro in New York City, to celebrate the launch of the debut book, Ten Words for a Stronger Career, More Meaningful Relationships and a Remarkably Focused Life, by The Powder Group, The Makeup Show and On Makeup Magazine founder, Michael DeVellis. The long-awaited book based on The Powder Group’s popular program Ten Words for a Stronger Career, was published to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the Ten Words seminar and workshop program. The book, an easy to digest, quick and entertaining read, acts as an inspirational guide to action and progress in both ones career, and life overall.
“What an honor it was to have our NYC launch event for Ten Words hosted by the company that started my journey into the professional makeup artist arena.” said DeVellis “If it weren’t for my time at MAC and working on the development of MAC Pro, my path would have taken a very different direction and there would be no Ten Words book or so many other pro-focused programs in our industry. I’m so honored and grateful to MAC Pro for hosting me for the NYC launch and that so many of our wonderful friends in the industry came out to celebrate the night with us.”
The event brought together industry pros including Angelina Avallone, Linda Mason, Dani Fonseca, Roque Cozzette, DeShawn Hatcher, Matin Maulawizada, Merrell Hollis, Joe Simon, Bethany Townes, Sheila McKenna, Ruth Roche, Moises Ramirez to celebrate the launch. DeVellis did two short readings from the book, focused on why he wrote Ten Words as well as his personal and professional focus on community – which is, of course, one of the ten words the book is focused around.
Ten Words will be followed by a program tour of DeVellis’ Ten Words for a Stronger Career program in NYC, LA and Chicago this June and is the first in a series of three inspirational guides by Michael DeVellis. www.tenwordsbook.com/program-tour
