and while she herself was great, what i really loved was the atmosphere surrounding her event. the whole nordstrom floor was filled with makeup artists from all around the world, and women looking in the mirror and feeling like a million bucks - myself included.
i got to meet some great people, both from charlotte's team and just people attending the event. if there was one message i got from nearly everyone that was there it was this -
if you love it, you can do it. passion makes a professional, not schooling or obligation.
what a lesson to learn. people would ask me again and again, "are you a makeup artist?" and i'd laugh them off.
"in my head," i said, "but i haven't had any training aside from youtube."
i got blank looks in response.
"so?"
it never occurred to me that i could be something just by saying i am. i don't need someone to tell me what i can or can't be, i can just... be.
needless to say, my therapist and i are discussing that in length.
but! in the meantime, let me tell you a little more about my experience, and show you what i snagged at the event!
