Guest Post: 'Make Me Look'

Today I am pleased to share with you a guest post by my featured sponsor this month, Melissa from Make Me Look.  Not only is she an amazing make up artist and up can coming photographer, she is one of my best friends.  We met on the island of Oahu, working together on photo shoots.  If you have been following my blog, you have seen some of our collaborations together on my throw back Thursday photography posts.  I love Melissa because she is loving, creative, driven, and beautiful inside and out. Without further adieu, I leave you with Melissa and her post:

Melissa and I when she came to visit me in England last year. 

As a Makeup Artist with over 10 years of experience, I had the desire for a more lasting form of beauty. 

This lead me to pick up the camera and create both the palette and the image.  

I recently created a website called "Make Me Look," 

which is where I create looks that can easily be recreated on anyone.

I love all forms of beauty, but I most enjoy bringing out a woman's natural and innate beauty. 

Makeup can be fun and simple, and should never be taken too seriously.  

I have been freelancing for Chanel Cosmetics for almost 3 years.  

I really relate to their makeup style, which always enhances, as opposed to covering up.  

When I'm not doing makeup or taking photos, you can find me in the kitchen 

making my own coconut milk, almond butter, and just about any other condiment you can think of.  

As soon as my short layover in Virginia is over, 

I hope to spend a few years in Europe, soaking up the fashion and culture.  

My ultimate goal is to open my own "experience boutique," so be on the lookout!
