FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Definitely! I am always watching Web-based videos, reading industry blogs and those of other face painting and make-up professionals, I attend workshops from time to time, I browse online and brick-and-mortar art and make-up supply shops, I keep in touch with other cosmetic and face art creatives using social networking sites, and I hope to travel to some of the major industry conventions that are coming up in the near future. Most recently, I've completed a college course in stage make-up.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always been creative, but I never knew I could paint untiI I went to a friend's birthday party and had my face painted. It was so magical an experience that it inspired me to learn this art form. As I practiced and improved my skills, my family and friends started to take notice and began to request my face painting talent for parties, carnivals, or just for fun. What began as a hobby soon turned into. . . Happyface Magic! Now I get to create magical experiences for other people! It always amazes me how much excitement, fun, and happiness that I can bring to people with my brushes and palettes of color.
