This is why she\u2019s always pushing herself to see what else she can discover and how she can improve when it comes to makeup. 2019 was a very exploratory year for Devyn, wherein she took the time needed to figure out where she wanted to go with her makeup career.\n\nIn 2020, she\u2019s now ready to get back to the basics of makeup and her cosmetic understanding. Having previously graduated from <a href=\"\/online-makeup-courses\/master-makeup-artistry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">QC\u2019s Master Makeup Artistry course<\/a> &#8211; which Devyn states laid the foundation of her makeup knowledge &#8211; she still owns all of her textbooks and course materials. Going back over and re-studying this content will help refresh both her general and advanced makeup knowledge. So that\u2019s what she plans to do!\n\nShe\u2019s also a current student in QC\u2019s <a href=\"\/online-makeup-courses\/skincare-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Advanced Skincare Course<\/a>. Ideally, Devyn is aiming to complete this program during the first quarter of the year. In her experience as both a working makeup artist and YouTube beauty vlogger, she finds that questions about skincare are asked just as frequently as cosmetic-related ones.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;39840&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]As a professional makeup artist, you need to be able to provide the correct information to your clients and subscribers. Devyn credits QC\u2019s Skincare Course for teaching her the fundamentals of skincare, as well as teaching her which skincare products to use, how to use them in conjunction with makeup products, and much more!\n\nDevyn\u2019s desire to always continue learning ties in with her desire to be as informed as possible for her:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Makeup clients<\/li>\n \t<li>Friends and family<\/li>\n \t<li>YouTube subscribers<\/li>\n \t<li>Social media followers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThey\u2019re always going to be asking questions, and Devyn knows that in order to give the best services she possibly can, she\u2019ll need to know the best answers. Pushing herself to <a href=\"\/2019\/06\/starting-my-online-skincare-course-first-impressions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">continue her online makeup education<\/a> will only result in Devyn becoming an even better MUA.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Resolution_2_%E2%80%9CContinue_to_Improve_My_Makeup_Techniques%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Resolution #2: \u201cContinue to Improve My Makeup Techniques\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;15&#8243;][vc_column_text]On both her clients and herself, Devyn\u2019s second goal for 2020 is to expand her technical knowledge on makeup application, and continue to hone her skills. No one is going to be 100% perfect at makeup all of the time. It\u2019s important to be able to self-critique, and understand the areas <a href=\"\/2017\/07\/cringe-worthy-makeup-techniques-need-stop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">where you can improve<\/a>. While she credits herself as having a natural flair for makeup, Devyn admits that she\u2019s also very heavy-handed.\n\nHer basic techniques, she feels, can use some work. Some examples of basic techniques include:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Holding your brushes properly<\/li>\n \t<li>Blending properly<\/li>\n \t<li>Using the correct amount of pressure during application<\/li>\n \t<li>Noticing the subtle differences in skin colors and textures<\/li>\n \t<li>Mastering <a href=\"\/makeup-theory-color-correcting-webinar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">color science<\/a> so you can develop your natural eye for which colors work best on people, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;39841&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]Devyn\u2019s motivation behind this New Year resolution is two-fold. Firstly, like any good MUA, she wants to be able to provide greater services for her clients. Secondly, as a true artist, she simply wants to be better her craft.\n\nOne of the ways that Devyn intends to expand her knowledge is by attending classes held by other makeup artists. As an artist, you can become too used to your own technique, routine, and way of doing things. As a result, you can lose sight of the fact that there might be <em>better <\/em>ways to do things.\n\n<a href=\"\/2019\/11\/makeup-classes-vs-beauty-courses-is-there-a-difference\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learning from someone else<\/a>, and understanding why they do what they do, is so helpful to a makeup artist! It\u2019s not even about changing your current style; rather, about helping you hone your skills in order to transform into an even stronger version of yourself.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Resolution_3_%E2%80%9CGrow_My_Makeup_Channel_on_YouTube%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Resolution #3: \u201cGrow My Makeup Channel on YouTube\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;15&#8243;][vc_column_text]At the heart of it, Devyn loves makeup and creating videos about it! In fact, the whole reason why she ventured into the world of makeup and YouTube beauty vlogging was because she and her sister, Seanna, watched others do it. This eventually motivated them both to do it themselves.\n\nAfter starting their channel, <em>Gregorio Girls Makeup<\/em>, Devyn grew motivated in <a href=\"\/2019\/11\/changing-careers-becoming-a-makeup-artist-as-a-second-career\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pursuing makeup artistry as a career<\/a>. This quickly guided her towards online makeup school so that she could study and earn a professional certification in the field.\n\nIn 2019, however, both Devyn and her sister took a break from their channel in order to step back, reassess their goals, and rediscover their vision for both themselves and their YouTube presence. This move turned out to be the right one, because now Devyn\u2019s drive is at an all-time high! Now that the New Year has come, she has huge plans for <em>Gregorio Girls Makeup<\/em> in 2020!\n\nIn order to see this goal to fruition, Devyn\u2019s game plan is two-fold:\n<ol>\n \t<li><em>Put her focus back into regularly posting a wide variety of different makeup content.<\/em> Devyn feels that she should be able to realistically post one new video each week.<\/li>\n \t<li><em>Wants to find and build the \u2018Gregorio Girl tribe\u2019\/fan-base.<\/em> Arguably her biggest and boldest goal for 2020, Devyn wants to expand her channel\u2019s subscriber count from approximately 1,500 to somewhere between 50,000 and 100,000 by the end of the year.
