Makeup Geek Moderator, beauty addict, trained makeup artist, and self proclaimed beauty blogger. Once upon at ime I had no idea makeup was meant to be applied with brushes, then I found Marlena on YouTube, she was the first beauty guru I watched and that's how I landed on here in Spring 2008. I've been around ever since and became a mod in 2009. In Spring 2012, I got formally trained as a makeup artist.
