FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am always reading about and practicing the next great products, tips, and services that I can offer to my customers! Many of my profits from my business go to buying researched products that I can use to make my customers even more beautiful.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Since I can remember, I've always had a fascination with makeup and how it can be used to alter not only a person's face, but also their sense of self-esteem. I started doing makeup on myself at age 14 and soon was doing friends' makeup (and friends of friends and so on.) I was hired on at the Lancôme counter in the Vancouver Mall where I was taught some of the more technical points of skin care, contouring, and colors. After spending nearly 2 years behind the counter, I was recruited onto the South-Seattle regional team and worked with west coast national MUA, Jason Leong. Sales pressure was hard and I found myself wishing I didn't have to push product just to do someone's makeup. I then began my own freelance business, FKS Artistry and I've never been happier with my profession!
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I most commonly do photography makeup for models. My other most common jobs are weddings.
