Where does SHERRY BERRY get her inspiration from??

I always get asked the same question:

"Where does your inspiration come from?"

"Color has taken possession of me,,no longer do I have to chase after it. I know that it has hold of me forever. Color and I are one. I am a painter." --- Paul Klee Quotes

Honestly, I can be inspired easily by anything I see at anytime anywhere! That's why I like to bring a digital camera with me wherever I go and capture all the beautiful things, people and views I see. One of my biggest hobbies is making 'Makeup and Fashion' Scrapbooks. Speaking of that, I spend around $50-60 CAD on just beauty and fashion magazines monthly, and always have so much fun adding the new tear sheets to my scrapbooks & binders and reviewing those older tear sheets helps with stimulating my creativity at the same time. Let me share this with you: you can always learn what you've learned, in a new way. I also like to keep myself motivated by watching You Tube videos and reading blogs. What is important is to keep learning, to enjoy the challenge!

Making a photograph is a collaborative effort.

"As the makeup artist, you are part of a team that includes the photographer, the stylist, the hair stylist, the dresser, and the editor if it is a magazine shoot. Your job is to be true to your own style, yet be open; to understand requirements of the stylist, editor, and a model; and to create a makeup that works." --- Bobbi Brown

"It take a minute to learn and life time to master!!" --- Bb University @ NYC

As makeup artists, we hope our work get recognized and be memorized by people. It definitely takes time and we have to put in lots of effort! I absolutely agree with "No pay, no gain!" You work hard and pay time+money to help you get what you would like to achieve in your life. Besides that, you just have to believe you can do it. Every great achievement was once considered as impossible. In my opinion, a great makeup artist 1)needs to be able to make women not only look beautiful but also feel beautiful, 2)can think outside the box 3)and be able to assess the looks not by how it looks to your eye, but how it looks on camera. because Film has a tendency to neutralize, so the color needs to be much stronger than what it would be  in real life.

These are the makeup artists I always look up to in the makeup industry: Pat McGrath, Bobbie Brown, Laura Mercier, Francois Nars, Billy B and Scott Barnes.
