Beauty – Portland

My first client was at the age of 18, I was terrified and she demanded a red lip. RED LIPS! It terrified me to no end. I mean, a bold lip like that has to be flawless. Sweating and shaking, I did it. My first makeup application on a paying client and I did it! It was all unicorns and fairies after that because I knew by the end of that appointment that I wanted to do this for the rest of my life. I started booking, and fast! Then came my business license and the start of my freelancing career. Since day one, I\'ve had incredible opportunities to learn and glean from some of the best in the industry. I\'ve learned that there is no formula for the use of makeup, it\'s a medium meant to be transformed into something that inspires the hearts of people. I live for the smile on my client\'s/model\'s face when they look in the mirror and feel beautiful. But it isn\'t the makeup that makes them beautiful, it\'s the time spent talking with them and showing them that their beauty truly does illuminate from within. I\'m truly the happiest human being around.
