Why be Lovely?

be Lovely Mission Statement: To provide each client with high quality makeup while affirming the beauty of the human soul and helping support individuals and organizations working to fight social injustices.

For 3 years I have had the dream to create a makeup line of my own and give some of the profits to support an organization involved with the prevention of human trafficking.  For some reason, about a month ago I was finally ready to make this happen. A friend came to me and wanted to help so I jumped on the opportunity and here I am. 
As I have shared in previous posts, makeup was not my thing. I didnt really wear it much or care too much about finding the next best color or product.  But when I started to work with women in the sex industry I realized that makeup was a thing that all of them had in common. From porn stars, to strippers, to prostitutes, to moms, to your every day girl...most women will wear some type of makeup.  When I saw this opportunity I knew it was something that would bring me to relationships that I otherwise my not have.  So, while I lived in Vegas I decided to take a few weeks to go to LA and learn this trade. By the end of those few weeks I left as a certified makeup artist. Now what??
Then came the most rewarding time of my life. Myself, along with my friend who did hair, found ourselves using our gifts and now passion to connect with women in brothels, strip clubs and porn conventions. I met some amazing people. Being a makeup artist is an in-your-face kind of job.  The client and the artist cant really escape from each other :) Conversation came naturally. To be able to build a relationship in this way was incredible.  Whenever we would go to the brothel we did it just for fun.  They would always ask us why we were doing it. Our response was always "why not?"  We were able to share why we cared about them and told them how much they were worth. Leaving those situations taught us all things. They were always asking when we were coming back.  I will never forget the faces and hearts of those women. 
As I continued to do makeup, my passion for hurting people because of this destructive business would not leave me. I combined both my passion for makeup and hurting people and created be Lovely.  So...it begins.
