Alrighty, so I worked both Wednesday and Thursday which didn't leave too much room for make-up but today was more successful. In the mail over the last couple days I received my disposable lip gloss and mascara wands and little spatulas for sanitary make-up sharing- so that was a step in the right direction. So now all I am really missing is foundation/powders for every skin tone. This is really where I'm at a loss. It's not that I mind spending the money on them- and if I'm going to do that I should do it now while I am still well employed- but I just don't know the best route to go. I am thinking about just buying one of every color MAC Studio Fix powder as a start. It's a full coverage foundation powder and most people I've spoken to have a lot of success with it. And then maybe I'll invest in the Make-Up Forever face and body foundation. That way I can cover tattoos and things also if needed. Or maybe I'll just start with the MUFE foundation and then go with an Ulta or Sephora brand powders to save a little money. And then if people have sensitive skin and have a particular brand that works better for them they can just bring it with them and I'll use that.
I also stopped and talked to my girls at the MAC counter at Macy's today and they recommended that I collect my portfolio now and give it to their manager. That way they have me in the forefront of their minds as soon as a position opens. So I'm pretty psyched about that idea, now I just need a portfolio worth looking at. I have a lot of looks, but most are on me. which is ok but it will be better to get photos of other peoples make-up I've done. So I made a ModelMayhem account and sent out a bunch of emails, so we'll see. And that's where I'm at. Keep me in your thoughts folks, I need all the good vibes I can get.
About Me
- Sami Gage
- I've been playing with make-up as long as I can remember, well at least since I was tall enough to get into the medicine cabinet. And I would put make-up on anything that would sit still, much to the dog and my cousin Patrick's distaste. As I've gotten older, I have never lost my love of the creativity of make-up, I just got waylaid a little. In 2006 I joined the military as a means to pay for college, and as beneficial as my service has been, it hasn't left me much room to be a girl. Follow that with some interesting personal life trials and college courses and responsibilities and it's easy to see how anyone could lose a dream. But here I am a few years later, a little bit wiser, and within a year of the end of my enlistment and I'm ready to take on this challenge. I am going to try and become a make-up artist.
