My Hair and Makeup work style

Over my career( 22 years!!) I've really done about everything.  From black eye and wound injury makeup, heavy glam, and the most minimal makeup for men's grooming jobs. For the past few years, I've curated my portfolio to showcase the type of work I want to take(take a look and you will understand what I mean!).  I love natural looks, soft glam,  and men's grooming, I want skin to look like skin in my applications, and don't like using heavy foundations for an airbrushed  look (and I don't like airbrush makeup- but I did it for years!). I do not like heavy eye makeup or shimmer.

As an artist, I think it's important at a certain point in your career to hone in on what you love. I do think it was extremely valuable to have such a wide range of experiences.  It's made me the artist I am today, and able to work with all mediums- problem solve as well.

I've always been a multi-media artist, and I wouldn't have it any other way!  Since childhood I've made clay, beaded, and wire jewelry.  Sewed by hand and machine.  Created art with pastels and charcoal, different types of paint, pencils, pen, markers, etc. This is all why I wanted to become a makeup artist.  I get to combine the practices I've honed throughout my life, and use them in the most fun career ever!  Blending, painting, lining- it's all the same.
