1. Mentorship question: Describe your experience in how you found your mentorship? If you haven't found one yet, describe your experience so far in the search of a mentor.
My experience while finding a mentor was irritating. Why? Because I was on the phone all day. I called about 15 different makeup artist. Some were rude, obnoxious and really just upset me for the tone they were talking to me in so I just hung up the phone on them. After calling and calling I finally decided to look on yelp for any makeup artist with really good ratings. Finally I called Jill Anderson who was one of them. She was the sweetest most polite person I have ever talked too. Finally I met up with her and it has been great meeting up with her about once a week. She arranges it so that I am able to watch her preform on a client and then extra time after so I am able to have one on one time with her. She is a great mentor but I am still interested in looking for a teacher from a beauty school to also mentor me. I feel I would be able to learn more from an actual teacher then just watching someone preform the act of applying makeup.
2. Research question: What has been your most important article you have read so far and why?
I would have to say that I have three articles that are very important. They are actually chapters from a book that my mentor lent to me. It is all you need to know before you apply makeup and the tactics needed so that you apply the makeup correctly ending with an amazing final product. I feel like most important out of those three would have to be the chapter called "Base". In my opinion people do underestimate how much the process before you apply your makeup matters. For Instance you want to start with a smooth base or face meanwhile people mainly pack on the coverage to cover all of the bumps or acne they do have which ends up looking worse. Another example is having oily or dry skin. You need to maintain a normal skin type. If your skin is very oily it looks unappealing and could cause the makeup to not stay in place. Then if it is dry it will looked powdery or cracked looking unappealing as well. This book is really important because it explains the process and the reasons why that works together to get the amazing final product like I mentioned before.
