Diaries of a Makeup Artist | Est. 2002
PREFACE
Hello to my day one believers, my life long + New Clients, all my Brides, new followers and well those who follow, observe, and show no love, from the bottom of my heart thank you. I appreciate you, your support, the constant love, and for making my Brand what it is today!
Let me reintroduce myself if I may. I am Andrea Salazar, a Tucson born native, mother to 4 beautiful children and I am the Owner and Master Artist of Haus of Dreams, and this is my story.
20 years ago I began my journey as an Artist, self taught, underestimated my value and craft as an Artist, and never thought I was worthy to be called an Artist because I never had professional training, I did not have the conveniences of today’s generation of the internet, YouTube, Social Media accounts learning from others. What I had was MY FACE, a mirror, minimal drug store makeup, a creative mind, magazines and constant practice. I suffered from body insecurities at a very young age, I was very top heavy, and hated the attention. I was already into makeup being in dance, starting at the age of 4, and I loved the stage, shy, but I did love making an entrance from my attire, to my hair and makeup, I never cared what anyone thought or followed a trend, I did what made little Drai happy. But by age 12 I got into it so much more because I needed a distraction for people, and I wanted them to see my face not look at my figure, so I hid behind the makeup and hair and oversized trendy clothes. To this day, it is a major insecurity of mine.
I have so much knowledge, experience and training through my career and I just want to share it with the world! I hope the diaries of a Makeup Artist can touch at least one person’s life, even in the smallest form. I hope it can help in some way, whether that be a Bride to be, an Aspiring Artist, or to help an Intermediate or Pro Artist in their career, or even to help Business Owners. I am using this platform to use my voice in a raw and authentic manner, so there may be moments that are just blunt realness, moments of vulnerability, but despite it all, it is all TRUTH, my TRUTH…
To be continued………
XO,
-Andrea
