By Cassie James In the beginning, there was a plain face, And i love Candy, Who doesn't? So i thought, Let's mix Candy and makeup and come up with a delicious look. Then after an hour there was an inspiration of candy from my childhood. A lil sugar daddy on the eyes, candy corn on the nose, gobstoppers on the lips and caramel apple suckers on the cheeks. I know kinda clownish but hey my creativity flows like my vivid imagination. This look is Called "Candyland" Inspired by the game. Not all of my makeup is theatrical. I am multi talented in the make-up field. and a recent graduate of Xenon Int'l. Academy of Olathe. I have done weddings, proms, fashions shows, you name it. I love makeup and what i do. Speaking of makeup, my favorite brand would have to be M.A.C. Love Love.. , And they are great for all skin tones and ethnicity. I am looking to branch out and explore other aspect of the makeup industry. I would like to do makeup for movies and T.V. I am open to try anything once and usually do. Success is my middle name.
