Got my first hater...
I just got my first hater on my blog. Got chewed out for "ruining" the beauty industry because I hold a MAC Pro card, and how that makes it harder for other who are "real" makeup artists to get one...
Quite amusing, as if you read my blog enough (posts), you'll see I got mine as a PHOTOGRAPHER, not a makeup artist (and I have since edited my About Me to explain all this since apparently my "How I got a pro card" post wasn't enough). And I got my card through completely legitimate ways, with real publication mastheads and cover model shoots credited to me as the photographer, not fake reference letters like many many many people do for the MUA level cards.
Reading > My hater.
I dunno who it is, but if you came from this site I would say maybe next time you should read a bit more carefully before assuming someone just went about something because they were a cheapskate and wanted a discount, and that I have no professional ties to the beauty industry. I have an in-home studio, and have slathered enough gooey clear gloss on girls and fixed enough bad eyeshadow applications to think I can have a pro card... just because I don't choose to be a makeup artist doesn't make me evil, or a ruiner of the beauty industry, or a cheapskate. MUAs aren't the only ones that make up the beauty industry
And if I was really just a cheapskate, I wouldn't have gotten the 30% discount card...
