So when she came home after years on the road, it seemed only natural that she would take her talent with cosmetics and style and begin doing makeup professionally.

Haehl, who has worked with NBC, ABC, MTV and ESPN and counts many celebrities as long-standing clients, soon discovered that most women need more than makeup. That understanding led her to open Zethina Cosmetics and Skin Care in Glendale last fall.

Her shop in the new Citadelle Plaza, just south of the 101 on 59th Avenue, does indeed offer makeup consultations, lessons and applications.

There is also a large line of mineral cosmetics that Haehl developed. The mineral cosmetics came as a direct result of her ongoing work with professional photographers for both still and television shoots and the changes wrought through increased digital technology.

"High-definition video requires a much lighter, more natural touch. Mineral cosmetics are light reflective and (give) a very light look even though they have great coverage," she said.

She added that mineral foundations can conceal tattoos when applied correctly.
