PLEASE READ** So when people see my work, the first thing they say is “oh, you do natural makeup”.. I can’t even count how many times I heard that. At first, it would bother me, because my talent and artistry is much more than “natural makeup”. But now I take it as, “you make people still look natural, like themselves, but better!” Remember, whether it’s natural makeup or using dark colors on the eyes or a smoky eye or a soft glam, it STILL takes the same amount of time. To be honest, “natural makeup” takes much longer, because with all the products layerings I apply and blending techniques, I have to make it unnoticeable yet still full coverage and last all day long! So when people see my work and book me because they are inspired by my photos and work, and they say “I love your natural makeup”… I say THANK YOU!! . ***p.s… I post work/photos of my clients. The looks I create are inspired by what my clients are asking for. So when you don’t see a heavy wing liner it’s because they do not want it! Or if you do see an extremely winged liner, it’s because THEY WANT IT! If the lashes don’t look heavy or “Instagram worthy”, it’s because my clients prefer a more natural lash! I have been specializing in makeup for 15 years, I have been an ARTIST FOR MY LIFETIME. I have always had skin issues and 90% of my clients have skin issues. I have dealt with many different skin types. And the most important thing is making my clients happy! It shows in my photos. . .
