Why I Chose Esthetics
I always say that Esthetics (Skincare) chose me because I had no plans to take on a career as a Esthetician. I always wanted to become a labor & delivery nurse but I could never stay dedicated to my classes or focused long enough to be consistent with nursing. God was showing me that a career in nursing wasn't for me....
My first love has always been Makeup Artistry but I was scared. I didn't believe I could build a successful career in makeup. I expressed my fears with another artist and I will never forget how encouraging she was!
It amazed me because I was not expecting her to tell me to GO FOR IT! She told me don't let my fear of not getting clients keep me from doing what I love and don't let the fact that there are so many MUA's to discourage me.
From that moment on I started taking my artistry more serious and dedicating myself to it. My main focus was always makeup. I never thought about skincare until I started analyzing pictures of my finished makeup looks. I wanted to have flawless work so I began thinking of ways to improve my artistry. One day, something clicked! I realized in order to have flawless makeup, my clients needed to have better skin! On that same day God sent me a message. I heard an ad for Steiner Institute of Esthetics on Pandora which is a school that offers an esthetician course. An Esthetician is a person that specializes in skincare. The timing was perfect!
I called them and made an appointment with an advisor the next day. I was enrolled for the very last spot in the night class which started the following day!
I couldn't believe how things worked out! It gave me a warm feeling like this was all meant to be. I stopped questioning God and started having faith in him.
Things did not go the way I planned because God already had a PLAN for me as a Makeup Artist and a Skincare Specialist. I fell in love with skincare which in benefited my Makeup Artistry. I'll be a graduate from esthetics school in august and my plan is to open my own beauty bar.
