You are the queen of applying creases, i've always thought i'd hate to wear a crease but after seeing your FOTDs i've been thinking about getting a crease brush.
And btw you look great without makeup on and i can't see any dark spots under your eyes, i have the worst permenant eye circles and no heavy concealer can completely hide it and if i do i look like i'm wearing cakey concealer. This also means it's hard for me to look good with alot of eye makeup as it highlights my eye circles and just looks bad with an uneven skin tone. You are so lucky to have such a clean, even canvas for your makeup!

And i know you aren't keen about tutorials..but c'mon you have to do one sooner or later as we're just DYING for one from you!

I *love* how you don't give a shit about posting a pic of yourself sans makeup!! To me, that confidence & attitude is what really makes a person beautiful.

That being said, I am still continually freaking floored by your awesome work... *huge* props to you!!

It's funny because 4 years ago, I would have NEVER ever in a million years even left the house without makeup on let alone post pictures online or whatever. I've always been extremely insecure growing up being called casper/powder and then being teased about having no eyebrows (I do, but they're so light) and then once I started wearing makeup on the brows, I was teased for "using crayons to draw my face on". Kids are so mean. But whatever. It wasn't until awhile after I got sick that I became completely comfortable with who I am. Love it or leave it - basically. I really do feel like the cancer/chemo destroyed not only my literal insides, but my exterior along with any self esteem I may have had. Everything I knew was torn away from me. Losing most of my hair, being too skinny and having face sores made me want to hide from the world. My muscles had atrophied so I walked like an old man for like 3 weeks and the looks I got then were priceless. It made me re-evaluate the way I see others as well. I think we're all guilty of judging people from time to time. Even if we don't say something to them, the thought "Why is she wearing that? . . . Damn she/he has a big forehead . . . etc" I went through a period were I got really defensive and felt like crying everyday because I felt sooo ugly and the looks I got from people only confirmed that (in my head at least) But the thing is, none of us know what anyone else has been through. Why we look the way we do and even then, why does it matter? My eventual conclusion was that it doesn't matter. And it's funny because I work in what can be perceived as such a superficial field. And to a degree cosmetics is superficial. But it's also an art form and when I was sick, feeling ugly, it was the only thing that made me feel better. My senior artist put it best "Makeup has the ability to straighten ones emotional posture." Which no one can argue with. It's true. Also, working at MAC, surprisingly has made me more comfortable with my naked face. I think because we all look at magazines, billboards, even other girls on the street and think, damn! She has flawless skin or whatever and be like I wish I looked like that. Although we all know 99.9% of prints are airbrushed on top of the fact that the model is wearing makeup, even if she looks like she's not, for me at least, that never really stuck. So seeing countless numbers of people without an ounce of anything on their face, (before I put it on), and being bare faced with all my coworkers at update numerous times only helped me to realize that no one is "perfect". Everyone has their flaws - or at least what some may perceive to be flaws. And those are "flaws" are where the true beauty lies. It's what makes us interesting and different from everyone else.

Well said! And you're pretty without make up too because you have pretty features and that shows! But your make up skills are so fabulous it would be a shame if you didn't wear any

Risa, its funny how well known you are by people you don't know on many forums for your talent. I admire not only your talent and skill, but after reading your last post, you as a person. You seem like a very strong, confident, helpful and considerate person. My mom went through chemo and it was such a trying time. I think you are both gorgeous both inside and out. (and your PJ's in the pic after the hospital are really cute

).

You sound like a great person, and yes working for makeup company and seeing the makeup you wear, most people would find it surprising that you are not even a tiny bit superficial about looks. I find your makeup amazing but i would never wear makeup that heavily on myself, you have the confidence to wear it like an art piece and look good at the same time.
