post #11 Life as a makeup artist

Life as a makeup artist has changed how I view people. Women especially. I definitely notice every aspect of someones makeup more than ever before. Not as if I am judging, but in my head I'm usually thinking of ways to beat your face (not really, it's a makeup artist term).
I have always been an active Youtube watcher. Or, whatever you want to call it.. I love Love LOVE watching tutorials. Tutorials on anything really. But mainly makeup and/or beauty related videos. I started buying more and more products. and i eventually got pretty decent at doing my makeup. I used to never wear makeup besides some eyeliner and mascara here and there. I wasn't against makeup or anything. It just wasn't my thing. BUT, I started to see how makeup can really enhance someones features. You aren't becoming or looking like a completely different person, you are enhancing you own features that you already have. Wearing makeup makes be feel beautiful, but I also feel beautiful when I'm not wearing any. "Love the skin you're in" is a saying that I truly admire. Makeup gives me more confidence. 
People started to ask me tons of questions about my makeup, and a few even suggested that I make my own makeup tutorials. I though about that, I thought, would people even watch it though?? I finally gave in and made my very first makeup tutorial. I got lots of love on it. I believe it got around 5,000 views on Facebook. now on Youtube, it didn't get nearly as many views. Like.. not even close. But then again I only have like 21 subbies on Youtube and like 4,000 friends on Facebook. But looking back on the video I just want to cringe. I mean it wasn't that bad.. but I have progressed so much since then. I can't wait to do another video. It will def top my first one. But besides that, I work as a "Beauty Specialist" at a beauty store/salon. So I do makeup there. I help with skin care, makeup, blah blah blah all that great stuff. But I really do like my job. I get to be around things I love (plus a nice discount). But the thing that I love most about my job is that I can make someone feel so good about themselves. I can give them more confidence, I make them feel beautiful, even though they are already gorgeous.
