Hi! I’m Ivy and I’m makeup-mental. I studied art in college and was a graphic designer in the ad agency world until my makeup dreams intervened. I am a freelance makeup artist and regular contributer to Divine Caroline and SheKnows. I previously served as Operations Consultant and Senior Education Consultant & Certified Color Artist for Sephora. I was also a contestant in the 2014 Allure Beauty Blogger Awards.I’m married to a commercial photographer and we are the proud cat parents of Miles and Pixel.I love makeup-obvi, animals, painting, electronic dance music and festivals, running, coffee, wine, hardcore napping and mid-century modern design.I believe that makeup is an art form. I have a Bachelor’s degree in art, but I am not an esthetician or cosmetologist. My recommendations and suggestions here are simply that. Please consult a dermatologist before beginning a new skincare routine or trying a new product on sensitive skin.
