Makeup Gig

I did the hair and makeup of my first model today, and she looked fantastic!  She has re-booked me for her photo shoot this Thursday.  I plan to create a website and Facebook page dedicated to my new makeup business!  =)

Love. Peace. Balance

Tip to Cover Pimples

If you have a big event coming up or you're just going out for a night on the town, and you get a big zit; it can be frustrating!  When you try to cover the zit with makeup, it seems to get all caked in it and looks worse.  Here's a tip to try--cleanse and tone the area thoroughly, apply some salicylic acid to the area and cover with liquid bandade!  Liquid bandaid is an antiseptic, so the zit will stay clean and protected while providing a smooth layer over the top of it.  Makeup then glides on smooth, and you can go out feeling confident!

Professional Makeup Artist Opportunity

Hello All!

I most recently blogged about my interests in both inner and outer beauty.  Since then I have met all of the right people to open the doors of the beuaty world.  I met a woman at work who is a professional makeup artist.  She then introduced me to her contact at the MAC counter.  I have since interviewed with them and am patiently awaiting a phone call to tell me I have my orientation training.  In the midst of the excitement with MAC, I was introduced to an aspiring professional photographer who just opened up her own business.  She has a studio in her home as well as all of the professional equipment and props needed to take some amazing photos.  I did a Boudoir photo shoot with her (to give to my hunny as a wedding gift), and I did my own hair and makeup.  She was very impressed and has hired me to be her professional makeup artist and stylist.  I was ecstatic about this news to say the least, but I was a little overwhelmed with decisions on where to start with buying the makeup and supplies I needed to pursue my small business.  While at school last Saturday, my teacher mentioned that there was an ad on Craigslist selling a complete set of MAC makeup for a great price.  After contacting the woman, I was able to get all of the makeup and supplies I needed to start my business!  Everything has fallen into place so quickly and smoothly.  It was meant to be!  I truly believe that all of this happened because I manifested it into my life (please watch "The Secret" DVD).  I believed in myself, thought and felt positive thoughts and emotions, and willed all the wonderful things and people into my life.  I will be doing the hair and makeup for my first client tomorrow, and I only expect this adventure to flourish as time goes on!  So please take my advice and truly believe in yourself, believe that anything is possible, and think positive thoughts.  You will attract positive situations and great people into your lives to make your hopes and dreams come true!

Ps- If anyone needs their hair/makeup done for proms, portraits, weddings, etc, please contact me at makeupbykrystalross@yahoo.com! =)  You can also check out Madison's website (the photographer I'm working with) at http://www.madisonbphotography.com/ or dolledupboudoir.com for Boudoir photos.  She is offering great deals right now as she is just starting out.  Her photos are amazing!

Also, if anyone is interested in a facial for $25, please contact me.  I only have 10 more requirements to fulfill at school before I will need to charge full price (which is $70). 

If anyone is interested in a Reiki treatment, then please let me know also!  I can do a one-hour full-body treatment for $50 or concentrate on a specific area for 1/2 hour for $30.

Peace, Love, Balance
