Cassidy












I had such a great time shooting Cassidys maternity photos, they all turned about beautiful and I'm so happy with the final product. Here a few of my favorite photos:

Just a Reminder!

I know I have quite a few friends who are getting married in the upcoming year so if you lovely ladies need a make-up artist for your wedding day, I'm your girl! I'm willing to travel throughout North Carolina and South Carolina area working with the bride, bridesmaids, etc. This is your day to shine and I would love to do that for you.


Contact Information:


Email: latishamelissa@gmail.com or you could even send me a Facebook message. I would suggest to book at least two months in advance and we can discuss further arrangements from there.


Congratulations to you all!

Pro Team 2010


Hmmm, how can I properly sum up Sephora's Pro Team tryouts? How about, intense, stressful, rewarding, emotional, ridiculous, honest?  I loved that I was able to go to NYC just a week later, for free but I was still unsure of what the audition process would consist of.  I will say that after the 1st day I was feeling fairly confident about progressing to the 3rd and final round in Vegas. However, the look for the 2nd day blew my mind. Just describing the look (which was essentially like a mask, very editorial and gaga-esque) to my cast members was exhausting. I wish I had a photo to post but I wasn't impressed with my final product and I wasn't even able to finish. I left that day feeling overwhelmed and disappointed, I knew that it would test me but I didn't think I would leave fighting back tears. I was lucky to meet some girls who gave some insightful words about not letting this audition make or break me, even current Pro Team members struggled with the look. If I tryout next year I can only hope for the best.

After Encore and Pro Team, I'm determined to step out of my comfort zone when it comes to makeup. I feel like that is the only way to grow and learn as an artist. Look forward to some new looks in the future!

Big City, Bright Lights

I'm officially a Color Expert! I can't fully put into words how amazing New York City was. I learned so many different makeup techniques at Color Encore and I'm so excited to share them with my castmates. I know at times, I have a love/hate relationship with Sephora but they offer a lot of opportunities to grow within the company. I think I fell in love with New York this week- it's a different feeling since I grew up in Queens and moved to Charlotte when I was thirteen, my family didn't venture into the city that often. Now that I'm in my early 20's that's all I want to do! The diversity there is wonderful and I couldn't help but notice the copious amounts of good looking men of all ethnicities, delicious! Moving doesn't unnerve me as much anymore and I think my family is family coming around to the idea of it and that makes me happy. Pro Team tryouts are next Thursday and I'm nervously looking forward to that. I know it's going to be an intense two days but I refuse to be anything else but optimistic. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the trip:
