Stylist Spotlight – Molly Brown

About Molly:

Growing up she was a typical girly girl. She loved playing dress up, hair, and makeup. House and babies were her next favorite game, but still in that she was a working mom. Her career was being a Cosmetologist. She had her vanity and fake makeup and curling irons. Her sister and her would also play beauty shop. Her sister would let her come into the salon and pick out her outfit and then do a fancy princess bun with butterfly clips all around the bun.

A little about Molly as she grew up, she was born in Kansas. She moved ten times and finally landed in Tennessee for high school and college. She went to MTSU for two years majoring in Psychology. She was interested in caring for others all through high school. She took part in many missions and wanted to continue doing things for others so she decided she would become a clinic psychologist. After two years something was still missing. She noticed she was leavingmolly1 out a huge part of her life, which was fashion and beauty. She went to the Academy of Makeup Art to try to fulfill that dream. She finished that program and found herself being most interested in event makeup. Every one of her clients who wanted event makeup they also wanted hair as well. Molly went to expand her skill set by attending Paul Mitchell The School Murfreesboro. She had finally combined all of her passions of servicing others, therapy, and beauty.

Why Molly enjoys makeup?

She likes to go by this Quote : “Makeup is not a mask. Makeup is an Art. Makeup is a passion. Makeup is expression.” She believes makeup is much deeper than just loading your face up with tons and tons of products. Its about what is going on in that clients life at the time. Ladies get their makeup done for several different types of occasions. Women get their makeup done at their happiest times in their life such as weddings, proms, baby showers, dates, holidays, and parties. And on the other hand women get their makeup done in times of need such as funerals, bad days, breakups and when they are feeling down and need to spice up their life. Makeup artists are here in all those times for our clients. Kat VonD once said “Makeup is part of my daily routine. It’s the time in the mornings when I can concentrate on me, and me alone. Giving yourself the kind of attention is so important – and is something that is definitely glossed over by too many women.” Molly, as a makeup artist, wants it to be more about how she makes the client feel at that particular time in their lives, than about the makeup that they walk out with. She was the happiest she could be when she got the chance to make her career and passion become one.
