My Interview with the talented Makeup Artist Shoranda (Painting faces)

I meet her and her cousin at a charity fashion show near rochester , Ny called Pamper me Pink. I have been so honored to have work with them.  I feel we can learn something from everyone we have encounter.  it the circle of life. I hope that you learn something from the people who have taken the time out to  answer some of my questions. This is a new Year for me and I am grateful  for the experience I have had. the people I have meet. 

1. I was working on a Batik painting after school one day.  My art teacher said that I should try doing makeup because it was the same concept as painting. At first I didn't believe her, but she started to explain the layers involved. I bought books and went to school to make it official. She told me that instead of painting on canvas I would be painting faces. This is  how I got the name painting faces.

2. The thing that I disliked the most about the industry is starting to change. Models in the past were all put in this category were they had to have certain measurements.
3. My favorite type of shoot is the extreme photoshoot. This is where I can show my  creative side and completely step out of the norm.

4. Hair and makeup sets the mood for the shoot. Every part of the shoot is like puzzle pieces that need to be brought together.

5. I would tell models to be realistic. Learn to take rejection without letting it pull you down. You have to be tougher than most and persistent.

6. In 2 to 5 years I want to be a mentor to  makeup artist coming on the scene. I want to focus on my natural health and beauty products.

7. Go out and experiment and find what you are good at and have a passion for. Then you will never get tired of what you do.
