Hi, my name is Celina and 1st let me say thank you for visiting and ::hopefully:: reading my blog. For as long as I can remember, I have LOVED makeup. I was that kid that was constantly in her mom's makeup drawer. I loved Halloween and my dance recitals because it meant I got to wear makeup. As the years went on, my love for makeup grew into what it is today. I was the one in high school that had a line to do my friends makeup for dance recitals/competitions, school dances/events, and I've even done makeup for brides and their wedding party. And while I do not have the words professional makeup artist attached to my name, I do have a passion for it.
Now you may be wondering where I came up with the name Enliven Beauty. The thought behind it was something quite simple actually.
For me, makeup isn't a way to cover up or hide imperfections... it is a way to express yourself, an art, a way to make something brighter. So when I started to think about this, I started to look for words that embodied this sentiment. When I stumbled across the word Enliven - I loved the origin and how it meant to restore life to. That's what makeup does for me. It makes me happy, it brings me to life. To talk about it, to try new makeup, to come up with new makeup looks. To do others makeup. I love it all.
From the Dictionary:
Enliven (verb):
Make something more entertaining, interesting, or appealing.
Make someone more cheerful or animated
Origin: mid 17th century (in the sense 'restore to life, give life to': from
16th-century enlive, inlive (in the same sense), from en-1, in-2 (as an
intensifier) + life.
