About Me

I figured a good place to start a blog would be to start off by getting into a little more detail about the author! As previously mentioned, my name is Regina and I'm a certified Makeup Artist. I mainly work throughout New England- in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut but I have also traveled to New York, New Jersey, Florida, California, and Denver. I traveled for both makeup and spray tanning for a fitness/pageant competition called The WBFF. I also have experience with the following types of makeup- Bridal, Special Effects/Costume, Theatrical, Editorial, Everyday/Evening, and Runway. 

Obviously gaining this experience over a year didn't happen over night! My love for makeup started back when I first started wearing it- in middle school! I loved to experiment with bright and bold colors, but unfortunately wasn't very good at it. Thankfully throughout high school and my first few years of college I continued to practice it. Originally after high school, I went to a local college for Elementary Education. While the program was great, I knew it wasn't for me. Eventually I discovered (thanks with the help of a family friend) a local beauty school that certified makeup artists. I took both the beginners and masters courses and was then hired onto the company's team! I worked for this company for 6 months, I gained a lot of knowledge, made some great connections and friendships and was able to travel. I ended up leaving to become a freelancer. I reached out to a variety of companies, and am lucky enough to still be traveling with one of those places. 

I would have to say that finally becoming a makeup artist has been wonderful! I understand what it means to live the dream...it doesn't always mean being economically rich- but emotionally rich, because doing what you love, will give you a very rewarding career and daily happiness. 

Thanks for taking the time to learn more about me! Have a great day :)
