Growing up I was not a girly girl at all. I would run to school in sweats everyday, sometimes not even brush my hair and leave with yesterday's eyeliner. Although it may have slightly improved now a days (probably not), I embrace that realistically, no one is perfect. As a person working in an industry that demands perfection, I am an artist that strives for that "perfect" outcome but will always embrace and love that "hot mess" inside all of us. I am a friend, a mother and an open minded person. No matter your background, your skin, your visual insecurities or your gender. Makeup is a fluid art and at the end of the day, it can be removed. Do not be afraid of the greatness Makeup can give you. The greatest gift I can give my daughter is sharing with her that I can do what I love, be successful and remain kind. So please know that as I paint your canvas, I already embrace that scar, that mole, even that pimple. I'm happy and excited you want to try makeup as man and I can help you feel like the most stunning person in the room, no matter the spectrum of your skin tone. We do this for ourselves and as long you're happy wearing it, I'm rooting for you.  -Gel
