Many people have asked me where I draw my inspiration from when doing a creative or photo shoot and one of my main inspirations is other makeup artists like Liset who is based in LA. We connected through Model Mayhem and I fell in love with her work instantly! She's one of those artists who has set the bar for me and I'm sure other artists alike. She's done everything from print work, to runway, to celebrities. Liset graciously accepted to do a Q & A with me and I'm so excited to share it with you! Thanks Liset and hopefully we'll cross paths someday and have a few martinis!

Makeup Junkie: How did you get your start in the fashion industry?
Liset: When I first when to makeup school my goal was to work in Special FX.
A girlfriend of mine who is also a makeup artist felt ill and I did the makeup for a fashion show that she was booked on. Being back stage was a rush that I loved the fast pace of it all and the result was addicting. I loved every moment of it.
