Handmade leather bags with tassels, a Southwest Native American tapestry, or the intricate patterns […]

Welcome
I'M CARMEN
Your new makeup & skincare confidant.
My website evolved organically after years thinking, talking and being curious about it. Though I’ve always loved to write and have been a beauty contributor for beauty magazines. I’ve never actually blogged before nor have I had specific training necessarily.
Being in the Beauty and Skincare Industry my entire career I’ve had clients and friends tell me I should be sharing my ideas tips and inspiration with others. I’ve spent countless hours doing makeup on people all over the country and beyond from everyday looks, weddings, photoshoots, runway and celebrities. I’ve seen it all. One thing is in common when you look good you feel good and it gives you confidence. Looking at countless beauty magazines, reading books and being inspired by others in the industry, I decided there is no better time than the present.
I’ve been obsessed with fashion and makeup since I was a child and have a true passion for skincare and all things beauty and art. For over 25+ years of working in the beauty and skincare industry and with a little encouragement from friends, family, clients and mentors I decided to jump off the diving board and share some of myself with you.
So welcome, I hope you enjoy have fun, learn a few things and maybe get a little inspiration. As we delve into my world of Beauty, Skincare, Art and Inspiration and all the things I love. Let's create beautiful memories together!
- Carmen
