What do you think when you think about Makeup?

What are your thoughts and beliefs around it all?

There is a good chance you have never taken the time to consider these things or the impact they are having on your Makeup abilities.

What I am about to share with you is possibly a little controversial. However, I feel it is going to give you a deeper insight and allow you to explore a new idea. 

I have had the opportunity to work with thousands of women and some common themes I have seen in my 7 years of applying and teaching makeup is The beliefs women hold around makeup, what it is, what it does for you and how it makes you feel. 

And all of this Determine your capacity to enjoy all the benefits of wearing and playing with makeup.

The thing is your beliefs around makeup are not based on the now they are based on what you were told and taught about makeup and beauty growing up.
