I am a full time geoscientist working in the energy business. I have a big passion for makeup arts. I always dreamed about having my own cosmetic line and in 2017 we decided to start our own line called Spiced Cosmetics.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_did_you_decide_to_start_a_career_in_makeup_artistry\"><\/span>Why did you decide to start a career in makeup artistry?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nSince I was a child I was captivated by the beauty industry. I decided several years ago to learn more about make up arts and enrolled in a makeup academy. After graduating with a degree in Geosciences, I started working in the Energy industry and I felt there was something missing from my life \u2013 I felt I needed to SPICE IT UP.\n\nI wanted to enroll in a professional in-class makeup school but my busy schedule wouldn\u2019t allow it. After months of searching I found QC Makeup Academy online. QC makeup academy allows you complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/master-makeup-artistry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">master makeup artistry course<\/a> at your own pace and complete classes and course work online.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20060\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MJ-3-ed.jpg\" alt=\"Student of QC makeup artistry course\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MJ-3-ed.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MJ-3-ed-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So_you_just_launched_your_own_cosmetics_line_Whats_been_the_most_rewarding_part_about_starting_up_a_makeup_business\"><\/span>So you just launched your own cosmetics line! What\u2019s been the most rewarding part about starting up a makeup business?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThe most rewarding thing is developing products that I totally love and that customers love, as well. I get great satisfaction in seeing our customers enjoy the Spiced Cosmetics products.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_been_the_most_challenging_part_about_running_a_cosmetics_company\"><\/span>What\u2019s been the most challenging part about running a cosmetics company?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThe most challenging part is overcoming the fear of failure. It is also a risk to invest in an idea, then take that concept and develop it into a saleable product. It took many hours to develop a quality makeup product that we were proud to offer to consumers.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_tell_us_what_inspired_you_for_the_products_you_decided_to_make\"><\/span>Can you tell us what inspired you for the products you decided to make?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nOur inspiration for the line comes from my background in Geology. Since my work involves studying rocks and minerals, we decided that we wanted the Spiced Cosmetics line to be mineral-based.\n\nThe colors of the mineral powders are so bright and colorful, and have a lot of similarity to spices. The pieces of the puzzle finally came together and that\u2019s how the idea of SPICED COSMETICS began. A spicy look using spicy colors that are made out of minerals.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"477\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20061\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MJ-4-ed.jpg\" alt=\"Special effects makeup application for halloween\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MJ-4-ed.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MJ-4-ed-300x213.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"If_you_could_only_use_one_makeup_product_for_the_rest_of_your_life_what_would_it_be\"><\/span>If you could only use one makeup product for the rest of your life, what would it be?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nI would use Spiced Cosmetics mineral powder in Raspberry Spice.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_you_think_the_future_holds_for_you_both_as_a_makeup_artist_and_business_owner\"><\/span>What do you think the future holds for you, both as a makeup artist and business owner?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nIt is hard to predict what the future holds. As a makeup artist and a business owner I hope retailers start getting interested in Spiced Cosmetics products and that the line can offer a bigger variety of products to its customers.
