To Fuzz:I feel a bit better knowing your cousin just finished her course at 27 lol For some reason i guess ive had this idea in my head that starting out at 16,18,or perhaps 21 was the norm and anything over and im over the hill in MUA world lol.Like starting out in a makeup course at 26 or 27 would feel out of place,like going an joining a high school class now.Id feel like the oldie who didnt quite belong lol But your right it really shouldn't matter what age we are.Its something i loved since forever and i would really love to learn more and develop the skills.And id love nothing more then to be a proper MUA and work in this field
I would be so proud of myself. And i know what you mean, my friends and family have never quite got my passion for makeup.There makeup routine consists of coverup ,mascara and on occasion eye liner.Never even a gloss or lipstick! lol So they really dont get it.Makeup to them is just this shallow thing.But to me its so much more.You share the same passion so i dont need to tell you all my reasons why. Im sure you get exactly what im saying
Thank you very much for replying to my thread.It has helped!
To Dahlia_Rayn: I wish i grew up thinking i could be whatever i wanted to be.I remember i told this person close to me once when i was 19 what i wanted to do.And they looked at me and said in all seriousness well you can take a course and try but your not going to be any good at it.Talk about a stab in the heart right? lol He said be a waitress or something like that you'll be good at that.I remember thinking thats all you think i can be,a waitress? But your are a billion percent right my number one and hardest hurdle to overcome is my very very deep rooted insecurities.And your also right,what can i lose by trying! Thank you very much.Sometimes you just need that reminder lol So thank you.
Thank you both so much.It might not seem like something hard but posting this thread was very hard for me to do.Thank you both for responding.It means alot! I really didnt think anybody would reply lol And ive been thinking about this all last night and all day today and i just have to go for it for real.Not just think about it i need to really make steps toward making it happen.I want to so badly so im going to do it.If i show up for my first class and look like a fool,whatever! Im a bit older then everyone else who cares.Ill get some botox! lol.If i show up and my makeup looks a hot mess,thats ok ill learn how to do it proper lmao.Its obviously not just a passing interest in makeup,its so much more then that.I need to face my insecurities and just go for it.No more excuses! I truly feel that this will make me truly truly happy.I think facing my insecurity and fear will benefit me in a million ways.Even if im never one of the best i will eventually be my best at this art.Im so eager to learn learn learn.I have the interest and passion,the creativity.Now i just need to acquire the proper techniques.I actually feel a bit more happy right now just thinking about it ,knowing and just thinking ok i really am going to go for it this time for real
Im very excited
