Having my makeup done for formal events. As an artist I realized how makeup application can be such a beautiful artform.

On Christmas when I got the naked two palette when I was about 16 and foundation. I would do my make up and people always complimented it. It was never really obsession until now. Everyone around me is dead clueless on make up. ( yes even the people at sephora. I had a crowd around me the other day when someone asked me how I did my eyeliner, and she kept asking about everything until eventually someone mentioned they learned a lot more from me then the sephora girls which is quite sad in my opinion ) but I don't see it as a career anytime soon.

I just picked it up one day. I can't and have never been able to be inspired by other peoples makeup because I have a birth defect on one of my eyes. I figured out on my own (in 8th grade) how to make my eyes symmetrical, and since then I've been obsessed :)

I always loved makeup, I loved the way it looked on other people but I didn't put it on myself until I was 14. And when I did eyeshadow I looked like I got punched in the face! Lol I didn't start really getting the just of it until I was 16, but practice makes perfect. From then on I've watched nonstop YouTube videos and bought makeup supplies. I wouldn't say I'm obsessed now but I love it.

Well, I've always been a tomboy who didn't know how to do hair, makeup or style at all. But someday someone said something about me not being able to do all those things and that I never had been feminine, it completely changed me and now I love makeup and clothes :)

I was always kind of a tomboy, but when I was a kid I was diagnosed with leukemia, so makeup made me feel pretty while going through chemo.

Ever since I was little I loves it, I would see my mom putting on make up and when she would go to work I would sneak into her makeup case and put it on pluck out my eyebrows and put on her high heels lol my eye brows never grew in the way they where after that lol but I have always loved it I started using makeup at 10 and never stopped since when I started to put on makeup I would put on cheap makeup then moved up to drug store makeup and moved up to high end, I still use some drug store makeup but the only drug store brands I get is nuance by salma hayek and some physicians formula and some milani they have such great products I am a eye shadow palette junkie I buy palettes as long as they are cute lol and its hurting my wallet big time lol
