MUA's That Feel Discouraged

Recently i posted a post on beautylish about feeling discouraged. First of all, for those who dont know what beautylish is , it is a site that is for anyone who is a makeup artist or anyone who is into beauty. You can post your pictures,and ask questions and review products. Anyways......... as i was saying i posted a post relating to the topic of feeling discouraged about continuing on the journey of a Makeup Artist. I myself was going through some self doubt about continuing my career. It just seemed like alot of people are breaking into the industry and i couldnt help but feel the competition that may soon arise.
  In posting this topic i recieved alot of positive feedback from young ladies who either felt the same way or just encouraging words from them. I want to pass that on to you all who may be feeling like this as well. We are all different,and we all have something different to bring to the table in this industry. Just being an individual is more than enough because thats what makes us who we are ,it draws different kinds of people to us. You should think of why you wanted to start this journey. If you truely have a passion for it and you cant think of your life without doing makeup than that is all you need to make yourself successful! Your passion and your love for makeup/beauty is honestly all you need. Forget about the "competition" Continue making people feel beautiful the best way you know, and most importantly have fun and dont be afraid to learn from eachother.Support eachother. We are all a team!

ABOUT ME

 
 
Let me Formerly introduce myself. My Name is Leanna. Im an Freelance Makeup Artist. It is truely my passion and im continuing to grow and learn as i further my success.

Im Here to bring you product reviews, how to looks, show my work and most importantly learn and teach others. I Eventually want to work myself up to making a youtube channel, so hopefully that should be coming soon!

A Little bit about me....... I decided to get into makeup because i had a deep passion for it. I remember being younger and going to my bestfriend's fashion shows watching the makeup artists do her makeup because she was a model. I loved it! i dont know what drew me to it but whatever it was it always has stuck with me. In the beginning of my "new found" passion i was afraid to really get into and pursue it because i felt like it wasnt a "real" career. It took a few years to finally convince myself that if you love it and enjoy it ,than pursue it! you cant put any price on what you love to do!.Eventually, my cousin who is in the acting/entertainment buisness informed me that there is always money to be made in the beauty buisness if your willing to put yourself out there. She encouraged me to go to a makeup class in NYC hosted and taught by the infamous Celebrity Mua Danessa Myricks. That class has changed my whole entire perspective, and since 2009 i have been pursuing my dream and i would'nt change it for the world!!!!
