Beauty - Answering the Call

I’m not sure how many people know that I’ve been working as a makeup artist for the past couple of years now. It all started while I was working for a beauty startup company. I think being around all of the beauty content and products just emphasized for me how much I love makeup and making people happy. I started working on friends and family members for events and slowly but surly started getting paid gigs on the weekends. Fast forward to a couple years later and I found myself working at a MAC counter doing all day makeup applications and having a blast. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end and my store closed (because of Covid…sigh). 

I am still focused on my makeup career and although these are trying times, especially for anyone in the personal care industry, I have not lost my passion or drive to keep doing what I love, no matter what. I have recently moved to the Seattle area and am looking for a job within the industry I love and I’m not going to lie, it’s hard. I have built a pretty impressive professional kit over the years and my experience and skill set is only getting stronger. This line of work really helps you track your progress and it keeps me pushing through my own boundaries and fears. I’ll find my way and I’m looking forward to helping people let their inner beauty and confidence shine. I would love for you take a moment to visit my IG account @shirleytemper and give me a follow and I hope I’m able to inspire others to follow their dreams no matter what and at any age!
