Hello my makeup people. My name is Tasha. I am not new to makeup but I am new to blogging but I am gong to give this a try. I am a licensed Master Cosmetologist in the State of Georgia. I have been studying makeup artistry for the last 2 years. I started calling myself a makeup artist only within the last year.
I really don't consider myself as an "Artist". I can not see a makeup design. I can only duplicate what I see and to me, real makeup artists create the design. This is only my opinion and I am only speaking for myself.
I attend beauty shows at least twice per year and I take makeup classes. I purchase instructional DVD's from different makeup artist and I watch a lot of youtube videos. I love watching all the makeup artist on youtube! Personally, I think knowledge can be gained from anyone. You either learn what to do or WHAT NOT to do.
I am not really into brand names. I like what works. If I can get a product that does what I want it to do without sacraficing quality, that is the product for me.
I have gotten recipes for homemade make up brush cleanser, to homemade lip scrub to how to make you own make up brush holder. I have also found information on Duping what seems to be the majority of peoples favorite makeup brand which is MAC or Make Up Art Cosmetics. Now what I have done is to surf the net a bit and complie a list of some MAC dupes. Check out the list below. I will try to update my blog regularly but having a fulll time and part time job, I just don't know how successful I will be.
