I am 50 years old and I am a national makeup artist. I lived in Indiana until I was 21, then moved to New Jersey to start out my career as a makeup artist. For a while I worked in retail, either as a counter manager or independant makeup artist while studying and perfecting my make up application techiques. I also performed as a singer and wrote my own songs, but never followed through with it because it was not my passion. Deep down I knew, I was an entrepeneur. Besides, my father always did say I had strong organizational and networking skills. I worked at Ulta, Sephora , Macy's and Lord & Taylor. Eventually my skills were noticed by several well-known makeup artists, such as Ricky Wilson and Everett Suttle, and through their guidance I was able to work with them on many occasions all throughout the tri-state area. My director would call us the "National Makeup Atrist Team"  and send us to many events that took place with in the tri state area.  I have worked for many different makeup lines, such as Dior, Stila, Mac, Nars, Too Face, Benefit and Urban Decay and at the same time I also studied and practiced proper skin care. One of the things that I was taught by several estheticians was  how to be faithful to my  skin care regiment, which is why I look younger than most 50 year olds.
I am proud to say that I have never had any plastic surgery done on my face or skin, and as a result, not only have I been able to maintain a healthy and youthful glow to my skin, but also achieve a more natural look that one may sacrifice when undergoing plastic surgery. Along with my time attending the Eliza Hendicks School of Arts in Indianapolis, Indiana and perfecting my acting, singing and various southern and midwestern accents, the confidence that I had in knowing I have accomplished  thorough understanding in skin care and make up has also aided me into doing live theater and the last play I perform in, was "Laughter on the 23rd floor" in New Jersey. I was notimated for best supporting actress and I did my own makeup for the role.
