So I was talking to my mom tonight. She was telling me how pissed off she is about how "white" her foundation looks on her. She asked what brands at Sephora would have her shade so she could come into my job and get matched. And she's about the 10th woman to have that issue with their face makeup that I've heard from this week. I get family members calling me all the time asking what foundation they should use to get a good color (i'm the makeup queen of the family, somehow). And to be honest, very few collections that I could think of carried numerous shades at reasonable prices. I could only think of (for my mom, not skin of color in general) Becca, Benefit, NARS and Prescriptives. And it's given me even more motivation to pursue something I've been giving some thought too: I want to develop my own line of cosmetics to cater to all shades, undertones, skin types and ages without costing an arm and a leg.
And my mom's been very supportive. At first my "ultimate dream" was to be a MAC Artist. It would be a fun job and all, but would it really be something I'd wanna keep doing until I was 65 years old? Of course there's the option of moving to management and corporate, but I know I wouldn't be satisfied in that either. But running my own company, having my own ideas realized and available to those who want and need them, that would be the ultimate career for someone as eccentric with ideas and passionate about cosmetics as I am.
So my mom, who'd already promised to put me through cosmetology school as a college graduation present, is going to invest in my company when I'm ready to start it. So all her years of bugging me to PICK A MAJOR! PICK A CAREER! WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?!!! have paid off! My mind's made up, and that's what I'm going to do.
