Introductions!

Well hello there! My name is Chelsea. I've been a self taught makeup artist for almost 7 years. Most of those years have been spent doing beauty makeup, and the past year or do, I've been expanding my work to include high fashion as well as special effects makeup. My influences include Tom Savini, Greg Nicotero, my dad, who has taught me some things, and the rest of my family who have been awesome at supporting me to pursue my career choice. A big thank you to Jennifer, who invited me to share my makeup in this blog.  Through here, I hope to inspire a few people and show off the talents I have. I'm very grateful to have been asked to contribute to this blog and hope that I can show people what they can do with simple makeup. I will be posting step by step instructions as well as pictures and materials I use to create the look. So, yeah! Let's have some fun! ;D
