FIRST TIME.

Since this is the first of many posts to this blog I thought I would tell you a little about myself and my mission as an artist. My name is Morgan King, formerly Palmer, and I have been a beauty addict for pretty much as long as I can remember. Born and raised in Atlanta, Ga I came to the panhandle about 6 years ago and appointed myself as a Florida girl. I can recall the fascination of a pre-teen, adolescent girl sitting on the side of my mother's bathtub watching with anticipation as she painted her beautiful face. I was instantly intrigued by the way she drew focus to certain areas and muted any glimmer of a flaw. At this point I was only allowed to watch. I was definitely too young for makeup by my mother's stand point and I can't say I quite disagree with her at this point in my life . However, to me at the time it felt like a stifled dream and every chance I had I would sneak quietly into Mom's bathroom and explore the pretty little bag of magic that I knew could transform me into a glamorous, and gorgeous woman like her. I'd paint my lips hot pink and apply layer after layer of purple eyeshadow. I remember being very pleased with these looks at the time. Though looking back I might have done a thing or two differently. I guess then this is my chance. About two years ago around my 22 birthday I started to realize that my ever present love for all things cosmetics could be something a little more. I researched for hours on end and watched just about every single professional makeup tutorial there is on you tube. I studied night and day and practiced with every free moment. Doing anyone's makeup who would let me near their face and when there was no one else to beautify I practiced on myself over and over again. Applying and removing until my skin was raw. It sounds a little silly but I was completely hooked and one hundred percent sure this was the avenue for me career wise. I sought out jobs in the industry. Anything I could do to get my foot in the door and before I knew it I was starting full time at a well known cosmetics counter. I slowly realized that while selling the product was fun and entertaining nothing was more fulfilling for me than the look of shock from a woman seeing her own beauty for the first time. There's something in her eyes when a girl realizes that she too can be glamorous and feel fantastic in her own skin with little effort required. Well now that you know a little too much about me I would love to get to know you weather you're looking for someone to show you the ropes, or someone to pamper you for the special moments in life I am your girl. Please feel free to connect with me through this page but if you have any inquiries that are business related it's better to direct those to the email listed to the right. It's much easier to keep it all organized and it will ensure that you get a response in a timely manner.
-Love to you all-
