My interest in makeup began in high school. I like seeing it on other girls but never really had the guts to do much of it on my own. I would try it out on certain occasions but still did not find it to be something that I would be able to with great success on an everyday basis. Such occasions would be like prom, picture day...etc.
Later on in college I began to wear makeup more often. On the weekends I began to become consistent on how often I wore and practiced makeup on myself. I was slowly falling in love with this art. I was amazed at how some of the females around me could look so amazing wearing makeup. Yet, I also noticed that when they took it off or went a day without wearing it they would hate to take pictures and make comments about how horrible they looked in their own natural skin. I found it scary and took a couple of steps back. I did not want to feel uncomfortable like they did when they did not have makeup on. I still loved makeup, but did not want to depend on it to define my beauty or who I am when I am in public.
I came across on youtube a young woman in the 20s going by the user name of Makeup by TiffanyD. Immediately I noticed the ease that she has in making videos that helped explain the application of makeup. I do not know it is the camera that she uses or the lighting. All I know is that there is something about how easily she explains things in her makeup tutorials that makes it so much easier for me to feel confident in my own skin when wearing makeup. I am sure that she has received plenty of comments or messages that demonstrate negativity , yet she has shown persistence in continuing to do what she says she enjoys, makeup. I simply want to take this moment to thank the first makeup artist and teacher that has inspired me and given me a great introduction into the world of makeup.
If you are looking for some makeup advice or do not know that much about makeup, I do recommend her. I feel that she knows what she is talking about. She has great demonstrations for different kinds of looks from dramatic to simple looks that can be used for everyday. She has shared a bit of information about herself on her blog and like here and there in her films/ tutorials. Overall she is awesome at what she does.
