Makeup Maven

Have you ever walked in to a cosmetic store whether it be Sephora or CVS and felt the excitement of what could be. The chance for a change, a metamorphis if you will. The hope that the right cosmetic will somehow change your life. Well thats me in a nutshell. I have been obsessed with cosmetics and its power to change ones appearance since i was seven years old. I had my first experience with cosmetics when watching my cousin, blue eyed and blonde apply a blue eyeshadow. I sat there mesmerized by the art and dance of which this color was applied and how it was changing her right before my eyes. From that day i swore i would too experience the dance of color on my eyes. I imagined a plum color bringing out the green in my eyes. A makeup maven was born. Since that day i have been obsessed to say the least with makeup and its special powers. I have collected countless magazines, Vogue, Mademoiselle, Cosmo and many others just to study the models faces and where there makeup was applied. I have read numerous books learning how to apply makeup. I have studied color charts to see what color accents another. I have been a Free Lance Makeup Artist for a while as well. I am looking for a community who shares my obsession for makeup. I would like to teach the world how to see makeup through my eyes. I would like to teach people the power makeup possesses. If anyone is interested in my blog please contact me.

Please watch this video on the story of toxins in our cosmetics!
