BIO & GOALS:

I went to Charles Gregory Makeup Academy in Atlanta in June of 2009 and received my certification in Makeup Artistry. Since then I have been busy every weekend with photo shoots. I just graduated from college in May making me the first person in my family to receive a college degree!

My goals are to keep perfecting my techniques and get some of my work on the covers of magazines!

 Bio:
I have been doing makeup since I was in middle school; attacking my friend’s with ambush makeovers. In high school, I needed to express my obsession with cosmetics, so I joined the drama club to do theatrical makeup for our school’s various productions. Then I shortly became the makeup director. In college, I couldn’t escape my love of makeup, so I started to incorporate it into my assignments for art school. Photography became an outlet for me to truly capture the works I created in makeup. After graduating with a BFA in Digital Art in 2006, I worked on dozens of freelance projects doing hair and makeup throughout the state of Georgia. Then I came across, PinUpGirl! Cosmetics when it was in Little 5 Points over 3 years ago. I was hired as a shop girl who did makeup on the side. Then I was given the position of store manager where I performed as a makeup artist and photographer. In the summer of 2009, after a year of having had the shop relocate to Grant Park, I became owner. My goals are simple for myself and my company. I would like the shop and our brand to keep expanding to an online store and have multiple locations around North America and possibly the world; reminiscent of our favorite fashion houses. I would like to broaden my career in makeup, hair styling and photography with more varied and unique projects involving film and television.

Why she ROCKS:
I rock because every time I do makeup, it’s so exciting to see the transformation on a client for their everyday look, into vintage glam. I rock because it rocks to see them so excited and so pleased with themselves.

BIO & GOALS:
Born and raised in Atlanta, GA. I didn’t grow up with a mother who wore much makeup but for some reason it intrigued me. I would always experiment with different things as a child. Always wanting to go up to the Eckerd’s and spend my allowance on lipstick and face masks. I grew up in the punk rock scene and saw all sorts of crazy eye makeup as well as hairstyles and clothing which really got my mind rolling. I was always into art but never knew how to put it on paper so I started putting it on faces. Mostly mine… until my friends asked me to start doing their makeup at the age of 12, maybe younger. After that, my passion came alive and I started working for a photographer named Paul Amodio at the age of 16 and kept practicing on my face as well as my friends. As the years have gone on I have learned new tricks, new looks, tips, etc. I have worked for several photographers, MAC cosmetic counters, weddings, salons, TV, and fashion shows as well as Kris Melton of Rock Fist herself! My goals are to continue to be inspired by rock and roll, fashion designers, nature, as well as women of all skin tones, and really take my artistry to the next level. I also plan to get my certification in Permanent Makeup. I hope to never get sick of what I love and to continue learning new things everyday.

Why she ROCKS:
I love trying new things…things you wouldn’t necessarily see on someone in church, ya know? Something you might see at a show or art gallery or maybe even something inspired by the 40′s, 50′s, or 60′s- but crazier. I think people are sometimes afraid of the unknown. I think some people need to be pushed to open their mind a bit and see some newer, crazier, FUN looks. I want people to realize they don’t have to take themselves too seriously and they can still look rockin’.
