What inspires us?
We are all born with unique talents and are bent towards something that inspires us and makes us happy. For me as an artist it is colour and beauty.
I love the ocean and all its variations of blue and green, the sun and it’s warmth and brilliant colours displayed in a sunrise or sunset, and the pop of colour that a flower can bring…oh and a good puzzle.
When I was little I loved playing in my moms makeup drawer and at the beach. It was a chance to create…a colourful mess and a drippy sandcastle:) I have always loved enhancing through colour, trying on lipsticks and eyeshadows to see which colours look best or that display my mood that day. Art was always my favourite class in high school because it gave me a chance to create, design and best of all blend colour. I remember being in art class and seeing a poster with the word ART in the centre and like rays of sunshine all the jobs that attached to it. When I saw “Make up Artist” it resonated with me.
From there I went to Aesthetic school, was hired by MAC, managed the counter in Windsor, then as I focused on my family continued to freelance and have been for almost 30 years.
I love spending time with my husband and 3 kids in our 2 favourite spots.California and the Bruce Peninsula.
With this business I have to plan ahead well and will admit that I still get nervous before a makeup. As an artist I believe this keeps me learning, experimenting, and creating. I admire the ever-changing looks and expressions that makeup allows. I have the best job. I love making people happy and enhancing each unique face with colour and beauty.
I do makeup for all occasions. For me to be part of your day, text me anytime to 519-818-2527 with your name, date and occasion.
Be inspired + keep creating… Michelle
