![]() I have chronic pain issues and a lot of other mental health stuff. For me that’s kind of where the passion lies, just doing makeup and seeing where that goes. I constantly feel like I’m saying the wrong thing, spitting over my words, or if the makeup doesn’t look good on camera, it’s all this weird pressure, but looking at footage and editing it, I just feel so in my element when I’m bringing it together. Not necessarily making the videos themselves, honestly sitting down to film is torture for me. I have intense social anxiety, but for whatever reason, I have fallen in love with videos. ![]() Q: Where do you see your makeup career goingĪ: I’m on the social media route, but I would like to do YouTube. In a lot of my videos if there is an eyeshadow or concealer I’m using, I’ll straight up be like ‘this sucks, don’t buy it’. I just want to be someone who can be completely transparent. I feel like there are so many people out there who do makeup that will lie because they want to get sponsorship deals or money. I just focus a lot on new releases, tutorials, and my honest thoughts on the product. I did a full review of the ‘Jeffree Star Jawbreaker’ pallet that came out. The next video I did was turning myself into a Lisa Frank sticker book. After that, I went and looked at my mistake and figured out new lighting and a new background. For my first video, I did a full review of the ‘Alyssa Edwards’ pallet that was a collaboration with Anastasia. I had people messaging me to make a YouTube channel but I’m awkward in front of a camera. It was a reality check of ‘oh this brand wants to work with you’ so like let's get this moving. Not just their makeup but makeup in general. They sent me an email and I felt like I had an obligation to focus on the makeup. I got on the Anastasia Beverly Hills PR List just like out of nowhere. My first video was a complete mess I want to delete it. Q: You just started a YouTube Channel, tell us more about it?Ī: My Youtube Channel currently has four or five videos on it. ![]() Real people who do the weird editorial type of stuff, and that’s kind of where I got my inspiration when I was doing a lot of photoshoots. I like more people like her or some Instagram artists like ‘Grave Moth’. I’m not too interested in the big beauty gurus like James Charles, Jeffery Starr, and all those people. She is probably the main person I follow. Q: Who would you say are your inspirations?Ī: It’s ‘Likely Makeup’ she is my girl. Honestly, I just kind of have fun with it. I will sometimes look at color schemes beforehand and decide what I want to use. My strategy is to just completely let myself do whatever I feel when I sit down to do it. Every single time I have a preconceived idea in my head, I swear it goes wrong and I end up not liking it. Q: What is your creative process like for creating new looks?Ī: Honestly, I want to say the looks that get the most attractive and I'm most proud of are like me sitting down with absolutely no idea with what I’m going to do. I was like ‘why not let see if this gets anywhere’ and I’ve been doing it ever since. ![]() Then in June I posted a picture and made Instagram. ![]() The YouTube makeup world was completely new to me, and when I bought those pallets I kind of just started messing around. I did special effects in high school and I was in theater so I did make up for stuff, but I had never been interested in all the colors and the blending. I’ve always been kind of interested in makeup. So, I remember I bought some ‘Lime Crime’ pallets just to kind of test out. I was on Percocet and there’s like a side effect of it where you spend a lot of money. When you have knee surgery they put you on pain meds. I started to watch this girl called ‘It’s likely makeup’ and I just fell in love with her aesthetic and everything. I guess I just needed something to focus on during that time, so I started watching YouTube tutorials. I got my first real panic attack which felt like a stroke and there was so much going on. During my recovery I had a whole whirlwind of stuff happening. A: It’s kind of a weird story because last February I had serious knee surgery. ![]()
