Makeup Madness

I decided to maintain one blog and hopefully have different sections of it. This was my first, and only entry, oops!, of my "Makeup Madness" blog. I will do my best to maintain and update posts and experiences so you guys can enjoy the ride with me!

My name is Christin, I am from Southern California and I love makeup! I believe my obsession sprung from my mother. My mom has always had to be prim and proper with fresh makeup and hair where ever she goes. With a mother like this, how could I not be a complete girlie girl? When I first discovered Sephora, it was truly heaven on earth. I could (and still can) spend hours galore (okay, maybe not hours, but 1 and 1/2 at tops--depending upon location) in Sephora, even if I come out empty handed, my brain comes out refreshed, replenished, with the accompany of dollar signs replacing my pupils, trying to figure out how I could manage to purchase every product in the store. I love makeup.

About a year and a half ago I started working in and around the makeup industry. As time passed, I learned more about the products and loved them more than ever before. My collection has grown to be larger than I could have ever imagined. One day I will take a picture of it, document everything I own, and let the list continue to grow. Though, with my love of makeup comes the love of doing makeup.

Working for a makeup artist has been a true blessing. I have been more exposed to makeup than I could ever dream of. I started learning new tips and tricks as to how to apply makeup and decided to start doing makeup for people. I have done high school reunions, girl's night outs', everyday application and revamping, and the most recent being a wedding reception, with jobs for formal dances, when prom season comes, and a wedding in late July!

Yesterday (2 days ago--depending on what day you consider to be today) I did my friend's make up for a wedding reception they were going to. We did a trial run the night before to try different looks. The photos are below:

All products used on the girls were different parts from the collection of Smashbox Cosmetics, by favorite cosmetics company/line. 

Both girls turned out beautiful and I am glad we were able to document this session with photos.
I look forward to wherever this road takes me and I am very excited to see where that is. I truly enjoy doing makeup and want to document my every stop along this journey.
