(this is the work of the featured artist. Not my work)Good Morning KK Followers:
I am always seeking advice from other artist and I tend to watch artists for inspiration. Alot of my MUA knowledge comes from trial and error and mostly from other working artists. So, in an effort to bring more professional knowledge to myself and my friends and followers, I've started a group on facebook called "Pro Talk-Diary of a Makeup Artist".
This group is to keep everyone abreast on my progress as a new artist and to share tips and advice with you and other MUA's. I again came up with the idea on doing mini-segments with featured MUA's. Check out the mini-chat I had with Pro MUA Gwen Pettie. All her info will be listed at the end so that you can contact her for info and booking.
