After being pushed to blog by everyone around me, I decided to start...better sooner than later right? I am going to start by telling you how makeup become such a big part in my life.
Let's just say that my entire life I have been on a different level than everyone else...LOL...those of you who know me know what I'm talking about. At the age of 8 I had already reached the height of 5'7 and I was taller than my 3rd grade teacher...imagine that...by the time I was 11 years old I was nearly 5'9 and was the tallest kid in school. Needless to say it wasn't very hard for mom to spot me out of the typhoon of children running out of the school when the bell rang at 2:30pm. I was often confused for a middle/high school student. So when it came time to going out with my parents they soon realized that even though they wanted their little 11 year old baby girl to wear pretty pink puffy dresses with pig tails and bows that it just was not going to work with me. My outfits became more like those of a teenager and my mom introduced me to the world of BLUSH! I was in heaven the day my parents decided to give me rosy cheeks. It was during the holiday season and we were on our way out the door when my father took a second glance at me and told my mom "I think she needs some color on her face cause our little girl isn't so little"...and from that moment on, BLUSH became my best friend.
Soon after I was introduced to the world of modeling and everyone knows what a big role makeup plays in the modeling industry. I went from wearing a simple brush of blush to wearing an array of colors on my face to create "the look". Alicia Facio is her name...the women who taught me everything I needed to know as a model, how to walk, stand, shake hands, eat at a dinner table, and most important in my life right now...HOW TO PUT ON MAKEUP! I went on to win the title of Miss Miami, Miss Florida Model Runway, Miss Bikini International, Miss Flower International, and fourth runner up in the Miss Hispanidad pageant. I have also had the great opportunity to work with Sears, Liquid Yacht Wear -
Ft. Lauderdale Fashion Week, Sabado Gigante, and several Venezuelan designers.
During my school days no matter if it was homecoming, prom, someone's quinces or wedding, my house was always packed with girlfriends of mine that wanted me to do their makeup. In life some things never change because till this day they still call me when it's makeup time...LOL! My passion for rosy cheeks as a child became my road to professional makeup today!
