Daisy, can you tell me a little bit about yourself?
My parents are originally from Puerto Rico and I was born and raised in Jersey City, NJ, I was blessed with four amazing sisters and a brother and I have been married for eleven years and have three gorgeous daughters
How long have you been professionally doing make up?
I've been an MUA for the past 4-5 years, I just started my own freelance company in April 2016.
 | How was home life for you growing up? I shared EVERYTHING lol I always loved makeup and my mom is a queen diva so she would put lipstick on us and do our hair. My father worked very hard and taught me serious work ethic. My childhood was awesome! Hair or make-up? Makeup all the way! Were you always supported in your endeavors? No. I don't think people understood where I was coming from since I worked in law offices for more than 10 years so i was going in the completely different direction. They do now though. What has been your favorite experience ? Being published for the first time was amazing. |
