About Joy

Picture
Joy’s life long love of makeup led to freelancing for events at the Origins counter in Dillard’s in the early 2000's, and practicing her craft on friends and family. In 2007 when Ulta announced its Amarillo opening, Joy was first in line to apply for a job.  Digital camera in hand, she showed her work to the General Manager and was hired on the spot.  Until 2013, she lived and loved Ulta, learning about skin care and techniques from a multitude of prestigious cosmetics and skincare lines. Ulta gave her the experience and confidence needed to grow her makeup artistry into a business, so that is just what she set out to do.

Chasing a Dream
No longer held back by the demands of retail hours, she started utilizing the internet and bonding with other makeup artists around the country. Bridal and beauty makeup is definitely her specialty, but any time an opportunity arises to help the local community theatre in special effects makeup, Joy is always up for the task!

Hands on Training
Her love of the industry compels her to be active and network with other artists in her field, locally and globally. Joy attends events such as The Makeup Show, and advanced training at Erica Carr's CLASS-Where the Masters Teach, constantly learning from big name industry professionals in this highly competitive, ever evolving industry.
