In this guest post, Kayla talks about she landed a coveted gig airbrushing La Catrina makeup live on CBS!<\/i>\n\nMy makeup background used to be just that: it has always been an element of creativity that I\u2019ve kept in the background of my life, never something I expected to develop professionally and be known for through word-of-mouth.\n\nI have always loved makeup. Every year starting around the age of eight, I received a makeup kit during the holidays (this is still true<\/i> twenty years later!). At 15, I was doing makeup for high school theater. In my early twenties, I worked at the Clinique counter in a department store, but spent all of my money on M.A.C Cosmetics because the formulations for Clinique never catered to the high-definition\/fantasy\/glamour looks that I was so fond of creating. While I looked fantastic in that white lab coat, department store retail environments are not for me\u2014I sold high-pigmentation lines more often than my own counter territory, and there is very little artistry involved with counter work! In my mid-twenties, I secured my first real \u201coffice job,\u201d and makeup artistry became strictly a fun hobby.\n\n
