I used to go the salon weekly with my mom growing up and I used to look at magazines and was fascinated with the models, their makeup, and fashion in general. I decided to become a makeup artist my Sr. yr. in school. When I went to artistry school I fell in love with the business. I wanted to do makeup for the movie stars....and I have! But my favorite is making everyday people look like the stars:)
