Is it safe to say that the artist in you was always there, or was it a skill that you had to work at?
"I never would have considered myself an artist before I started my career in makeup. I knew I was creative, but I didn't feel like I had an actual skill set when I was younger. When I started my career in makeup, everything just started to click. I realize now that I have a heightened awareness of color and texture, which really helps me in my work. I have worked very hard to fine-tune my skills as well as train my eyes and hands to work as one. Practice makes perfect."
