Hi!! Makeup is fun!!!

Hi! Allow me to introduce myself and my new blog! SimplyCocoBeauty....I have been a makeup artist with over 15 years experience making up faces ranging from 9 yrs. to 91 yrs. of age. I must say that all of them looked more beautiful, but I saw the beauty in their faces when they sat in the chair barefaced. I have always seen the beauty in my clients' faces and truly enhance that which I see. I started out doing makeup because two friends who were getting married asked me to do their makeup for their wedding days. Now I always loved doing hair as a teenager and thought that one day it would be lovely to have a salon of my own, but makeup was just for me, and it was fun because it was the 60's, and we had many looks that are being replicated today. Who has more beautiful eyes than an icon like Audrey Hepburn, Brigette Bardot, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, etc.? The eyes are the windows of the soul, and I always begin with them. I intend in this blog to teach you what I have learned over the years, and it hasn't always been easy to have a job, but I will tell you that when I am enhancing the face in front of me, I feel happy, and my client feels ravishing! Today is about introduction to this blog, and I will do my best to always simplify things for you, so you can do it yourself on an every day basis. Of course, for special events, if you want to treat yourself to a makeup artist, that is what we are here for, including lessons, events and weddings. But on an everyday basis, you will need some basics to understand how and why you are doing things before you decide to perhaps go against the rules, because in this sense, the rules apply, because they are there to balance, to create symmetry.

I hope you enjoy, and please feel free to send questions you would like answered, and I will be honored to try and answer them for you.
