“I believe all woman are pretty without makeup – but with the right makeup can be pretty powerful.” Bobby Brown”

Growing up in a household full of women influenced my career in many ways. Watching my mother, aunt, and grandma play with cosmetics day to day intrigued me. I remember being no older than five and sneaking in to my grandma’s bathroom to use her eyelash curler, lipstick, and Chanel powder. Around the age of eight I was sitting at my aunt’s vanity playing with all of her MAC Cosmetics makeup brushes. By age eleven I was wearing eye makeup to school and that’s when my obsession for makeup truly began.

I didn’t have the best self confidence in my pre-teen and teenage years. Discovering the power of makeup was a game changer. The confidence I got from having makeup on in comparison to being bare faced was night and day. Before I knew it I became a product junkie. The more products I tried the more looks I was able to achieve. As I grew an appreciation for the power of makeup, I also grew an appreciation for my imperfections that make me unique.

After five years of doing makeup on myself I started to really hone my application skills. When a friend at school asked if she could pay me to do her homecoming makeup I thought the idea was so fun. That appointment I realized I had found my career path. Seeing my client feel so confident and beautiful from my work was a very rewarding and fulfilling moment. My mission is to give all of my clients confidence and enhance their beautiful features through makeup application for special days or learning purposes.
