So Sunday was the wedding that I had been preparing for months for! The actual wedding didn’t start till 5:30, but I had to get there at 12. First I did Sharon’s makeup, the 2nd pictures. She is the one who got me this hookup in the first place, and I am so incredibly grateful. I did Heather’s makeup second, the bride. I had done a trial with her about a month prior, so I knew the kind of look she was going for, but I was still so nervous. Its her wedding, the most important day of her entire life, and I was in charge of making her face look flawless…talk about pressure. I am incredibly happy with how it turned out, and when you put the before and after pictures side-by-side, you can really tell the difference. She is a beautiful girl no matter what, but it’s really amazing how makeup can really make certain features standout even more. I am honestly really proud of myself, and so happy with the experience this has given me.
I know to a lot of people, all this sounds so stupid cause it’s about makeup, but it’s honestly a passion of mine, and to know that i’m actually good at it makes me so incredibly happy. For the longest time, I was sure that I didn’t really have any talents. I’m pretty decent at all sports, but not spectacular at any specific one, i work really well with children as well as adults, but I don’t see that as a talent. I have good people skills, I’m a good listener, good at giving advice..etc. Those are all things my parents would tell me when I’d question my talents. But I mean a tangible talent. Something I can work with, something I can do…and maybe I’ve finally found something, and thats so exciting! No i’m nowhere near the best, but maybe i have the potential to be! I don’t know, I’m just rambling, but I’m just so excited that something i love doing is being recognized as a job well done, and i’ve even gotten the opportunities to get paid to do it! How incredible…
