Who Is Kay?
Our makeup on the other hand was presentable but not up to standards of a MUA, or makeup artist. So, after my first year on the dance team I decided enough was enough and decided to take matters into my own hands and research what was all this makeup business about. That’s when I came across YouTube Beauty Gurus. I stared watching videos over and over I got better at doing makeup and progressing as I watch the videos. These girls have taught me the do’s and don’ts of makeup, from how to apply eyelashes or how to dress warm and cute at the same time. I created this blog to make an easier pathway for beginners because they may not know where to start. This is because there are a lot of assets that come with makeup from the eyes to the eyebrows to the correct lipstick.
I also decided to start this blog because I wanted to point out some of the best MUAs and Beauty Gurus on YouTube, in my opinion, which can help with beginners and more experienced learners. Even though these gurus wear expensive makeup they also tend to do drugstore makeup tutorials that tend to be less expensive but still comparable to the high end makeup, which in most cases is better for a beginner because they could spend $8 on a foundation at the drugstore vs $30 on a foundation at MAC or Sephora. So, I’m challenging you to watch a couple of videos and put what you learned from these videos to applying makeup and comment how you think you did. If you make a mistake it’s just make up wipe it off and try again.
You’re probably wondering who am I, what do I look like, and why am I discussing this topic. Well, I’m Kayla Gordon. I am from Atlanta, Georgia. I graduated from Druid Hills High School in Atlanta, GA and now I attend Georgia Southern University where I am Biology/Pre-Med major. I started this blog to explain and motivate people to learn how to do makeup, hair and dress for any and every occasion. I’m a girly-girl, so I been “playing” in makeup since I was five years old. Whether it was the roll on lip glosses that made my lips look like I’ve been eating the greasiest fried chicken or the cheap makeup that looked like the colored powder sugar. So, getting to the reason why I started to become more interested in makeup; it was the end of my freshman year of high school and I decided to try out for my high school’s dance team called the Dazzling Divas. I made the team and we had our first game in August; of course we had to wear makeup we’re the Dazzling Divas.
