How I Became A Makeup Artist

was working at a medical office at about sixteen to nineteen years old I was so sure I was meant to be in the medical field I even dreamt of being a nurse, later on becoming a doctor and helping others.I was always into makeup throughout high school and of course when I was little I always got into my mothers makeup . I know some of us can relate on that one haha . While working at the Dr.'s  office I spent some of my lunch hours doing makeovers on my coworker I fell in love with her expression the first time I straighten her curly hair I guess I can say shes the one who discovered me. One day in the middle of her makeover she just tells me "Andrea why don't you go to school for Hair and Makeup "? I had a reaction on my face like WOW I have no freaking idea I guess I never thought about it .I was so used to the idea of going to school becoming a Dr.  because thats all I  knew since high school . I went home that day researching everything on Makeup Artistry and on how to become a MUA ( makeup artist ) . The excitement on becoming a makeup artist just took over me completely. I ended up getting certified from two different Makeup Academy's  and still passionate about continuing my education which is so important to do in anything you decide to do in your career . Since then I've had the opportunity to work on photo shoots,Tv shows, red carpet events ,tour around the states and more . The feeling of making others feel beautiful and confident makes me feel confident I enjoy experiencing that just like I'm sure anyone else would and I'm so thankful I get to call that my "Job". Its really true when people say "do something you love and will never work a day in your life".
