SO HERE'S THE TEA....
HI MONUMENTS! MY NAME IS THEE FACIAL ARCHITECT AND I AM AN INTERNATIONAL MAKEUP ARTIST AND EDUCATOR AS WELL AS THE OWNER OF BUILT & BLENDED.
​
AS A MEMBER OF AN ARTISTICALLY TALENTED FAMILY, I'VE ALWAYS HAD A LOVE FOR COLOR AND AN APPRECIATION OF ABSTRACT ART. AT THE AGE OF 17, I BEGAN INDULGING IN MY OWN FORM OF ARTISTIC EXPRESSION, MAKEUP ARTISTRY, BY INTERNING AT SEPHORA. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE WORLD OF BEAUTY AND ALTHOUGH I WAS MAJORING IN CHEMISTRY AT THE TIME, I KNEW THAT THE COSMETICS INDUSTRY WAS WHERE I BELONGED. I DECIDED TO MAKE MY DEGREE SERVE MY INTEREST THUS GRADUATING WITH A B.A.S. IN COSMETIC AND CHEMICAL INNOVATIONS. AFTER BEING IN THE COSMETICS INDUSTRY FOR NINE YEARS, HAVING SERVED A MULTITUDE OF POSITIONS IN VARIOUS AVENUES OF THE INDUSTRY, I FOUND THAT WHAT GAVE ME PURPOSE AND MADE ME FEEL MOST ALIVE WAS THE ABILITY TO TEACH AND CREATE COLORFUL, ABSTRACT ART ON DIFFERENT CANVASES. AFTER THIS REVELATION I TOOK A LEAP OF FAITH TO THE UNITED KINGDOM TO MASTER MY SKILL. THIS VENTURE BIRTHED THE COURAGE AND DRIVE TO PURSUE MY ENTREPRENEURIAL ENDEAVOR, BUILT & BLENDED.
OVER THE YEARS I HAVE SEEN MANY TRENDS COME AND GO HOWEVER I'VE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT THE SECRET KEY INGREDIENT TO UNDENIABLE BEAUTY IS FOUND WITHIN. AT BUILT & BLENDED WE VIEW AND TREAT OUR CLIENTS AS PRECIOUS MONUMENTS SO WE DON'T BEAT, WE BUILD, BLEND BY BLEND FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
