I have spent a lot of time in my life telling people that I don't wear makeup because it's a hassle and it's messy and not worth my time.
No, it's art. Art does take patience, and it can be messy. I wear makeup once in a while, but I'm only just learning how to use it, so it looks like crap. With practice, and the purchase of a wider variety of materials, I hope to become a cosmetic artist like you.
Luck to all!
