My Creative Works

Here I will give step by step instructions  on how to re-create these  makeup  applications. 

This is a picture of me at my Cousin's wedding. I have long blonde hair, and I am wearing black eye makeup with a peach colored lip color. This is a photograph of my Cousin Jessica. She has short, blonde hair that is in loose curls. Jesica is wearing black eyelashes and is wearing a nude colored lipstick. Face icon with smokey eyeshadow, pink blush, and red lipstick

These two pictures were taken at a wedding in 2007. I am on the left and my cousin Jessica is on the right.

FYI: I chose to showcase my creative makeup applications because I feel that it is where my true talent lies. I think makeup and skincare can be very creative because  everyone is so unique (different skin tones, textures, features) you have to find a way to highlight every person’s individuality.  You can never have the exact same look on two different people.
