Beauty – Phoenix

I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. Growing up in a large family, mainly made up of girls, makeup was something I couldn\'t wait to get my hands on. I was twelve when my mother finally allowed me to wear makeup. It was a complete train wreck. Seriously. Mass amounts of eyeliner and chunky mascara is the first thing you\'ll notice when you look at my 8th grade portrait (trust me, it was bad). Through trial and many errors (including one where my Mom told me I looked like a fish), I eventually figured it out. My love for the art of makeup grew into a passion, and from there it became a lifestyle. I feel fortunate to be able to make a living off of something I am beyond passionate about. Every day in the makeup world is a new journey. New people, new techniques, new product, new knowledge. And after going to MUD in L.A. I actually can turn myself, and anyone else for that matter, into a fish.
