The Essence of Winter

Who doesn’t love the holidays? Aside from being my favorite time of year it also happens to be my birthday month. Something that always puts me in a great mood is trying out new looks every year. With the changing trends and updating techniques so many people follow, recording them for YouTube has always made it easier to look back on and remember how things were done. Learning new ways to apply, utilize, and experimenting with new products has always been a passion of mine. I love testing out new ideas as well. Creating this look was probably one of the many I did this year. It reminded me of the holidays when I was a kid. As a teenager I never really did makeup on myself as much as I wish I did. I was always on Youtube looking at the gurus at that time to get inspiration for doing my own makeup. I joined Youtube in April of 2007, and I think about it. Now I wish I would have done way more creating as of then. Where would I be now? It’s never too late to get started. The beauty industry is still booming!! As well as it's only growing larger by the changing of the trends, and audiences likes, and dislikes. Maybe, just maybe, this coming year will be my year! Let’s do it, let’s get the ball rolling and growing like a snowball. Everything starts from somewhere right?! Yup, I thought so!!
