It all began with the love of lipstick. Initially, I didn't apply it properly (minus lip-liner), but I knew my lips complimented each-and every color. From lipstick, I became obsessed with blush. Years later, I realized my brows (although arched) were not tamed. I suddenly realized; I loved makeup but had no idea how to properly apply it. 

I embarked upon Sephora, and on occasion, I'd go in to get perfume samples. While inside, I'd see the beauty studio, where women would have makeup appointments, but I thought nothing of it. After watching some influencer makeup videos, I decided to research brushes I needed, eyeshadows I wanted, contour, highlight, more lipsticks, foundation vs. tinted moisturizer (and why). Before you know it, I purchased so many items, I was VIB Rouge at Sephora. 

I was able to get my makeup done every day of the week (for free) for an entire year (as long as an appointment was scheduled in advance). I utilized that time and labeled it self-care. At that time, I worked at law firms and during my lunch breaks, I'd carve out two hours (each day), to have my skin care routine done, right before my makeup was applied. 

From 2015 to 2020, I gained relationships with MUAS and learned priceless information about products, and applications that I'm proud about. As 2020 approached, that self-care window, (in the form I had known it) was taken from me but I still had a ton of products to use. I decided to give myself makeovers every day and continue self-care, because it's a necessity. It also counteracts depression.

As humans, we sometimes lose ourselves, being bogged down with life and its affairs. When that occurs, we don’t take much pride in how we look. How we show up says everything about how we feel, internally. No matter how we feel we should, wakeup and makeup; being intentional about our look.
