Meet Lala
I have been perfoming since before I could talk...LITTERALLY! My first TV appearances were when I was only 1 years old on The View and on Regis and Kathie Lee.

I've always loved getting my makeup done. So much so, that I decied I wanted to learn. I enjoyed it so much, I started doing my friends makeup for practice, I would try to duplicate looks I'd see in magazines, I'd go to makeup stores and get samples of everything, I'd talk to every employee asking a million and one questions. I gradually fell more and more in love with the world of makeup artistry. It became this new found love and I couldn't get enough of it, I couldn't learn enough. Before I knew it, it was all I wanted to do.
I love making people feel beautiful. That is the real reason why I do makeup. Letting people’s natural beauty shine through, in whatever style that may be, is so important to me. For so long I felt like I needed to be what people wanted me to be, not who I actually was. I felt like I had to wear a mask to feel beautiful, I never want anyone to feel the way I did.
One of my favorite quotes is: “Butterflies can’t see their wings. They can’t see how truly beautiful they are, but everyone else can. People are like that as well.” I want to be the one to hold up that makeup mirror to this butterfly and show them how amazing they are.
My goal is to connect with my clients, find what makes them unique, and let their true self shine through. After all ‘makeup is 99% personality, 1% makeup’ as Jordan Liberty says. Most importantly I want them to see, and know how beautiful they are. No amounts of makeup can compare to that feeling, and no paycheck in the entire world can make me happier than seeing one of my clients see and feel genuinely beautiful time and time again.
