Today we’d like to introduce you to Vanna Nori
Hi Vanna, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I have always been the girl who loves makeup. I took cosmetology in high school and was the girl with fun hair and wild makeup, but I have definitely have calmed my looks down since then. I was always the one my friends and family would call for makeup. I spent 7+ years in cosmetics which helped me with my artistry and meeting clients. I have been doing makeup for 9+ years and have officially been a full time working makeup artist for 2 years and I cannot be more thankful for the experience I’ve had!
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Working in retail taught me a lot. I truly wish I would have gone full time MUA earlier but it is also scary to leave a job that has PTO, 401k, health insurance, etc. I took a leap of faith and saved up money for the remainder of the year to see if I could make this a career. IT WORKED! I am doing it and I am so happy I believed in myself to do it.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am a Dallas based makeup artist. I specialize in soft glam whether it is a personal client or wedding makeup. Soft glam, to me, is enhancing your features without disguising who you are. I want you to feel your best, most confident, & beautiful self when you look in the mirror. Makeup is meant to be FUN! I am most proud of the connections and relationships I’ve made in this industry. I love my job and find it a gift to be able to do this full time!
What makes you happy?
My little family! My husband and our two dogs. We are just loving and living life one day at a time.
