YBF Summer Essentials

Stacey Schieffelin, Ford model and makeup guru, successful entrepreneur and true believer in empowering women to live the life they dream, is as approachable as the girl next door. Down to earth and brimming over with knowledge about how to look and feel your best every day, she has a very specific vision when it comes to the power of beauty. Stacey believes putting your best face forward is a mark of self-respect, not vanity. She believes every woman deserves to have her own customized makeup blueprint that maps out her personal path to beauty and self confidence. Stacey founded Models Prefer 15 years ago; an international cosmetics company that has been sold on HSN and QVC. The brand remained the #1 color cosmetics line on QVC in the UK for more than eight years. More recently, Stacey and her husband David have launched two new ventures: 24eight, an emerging technology company; and ybf (your best friend), LLC, a natural extension of Stacey’s fun, engaged relationship with her Models Prefer customers, offering first a figure-friendly clothing line and Pajama Party at Sea cruises, and now a new beauty line that made its worldwide debut on HSN in August 2008.
