UPDATE! Okay it's been a while since Ive actually used this profile. Firstly my name is Summer SkEye and Im about to get real and honest because I value the idea of transparency. Life took me into a different direction since I last updated anything here. I sort of gave up on make up. I explored and pursued other opportunities and passions and put a lot of my attention into those things. I'm really proud of the things Ive accomplished in these last couple of years. Many of which i never thought I'd do. I gave up on make up because I lost confidence in myself and my ability to do it. I'm very critical of myself when it comes to my art and unfortunately it can get to the point where I don't keep pushing myself to do it.
I realize that it was important for me to try other artistic avenues in order to grow and really find my strengths. I think make up will always be that thing that tests me the most because of how passionate I am about it. I recently told a make up effects friend that what I think makes a "good" artist is some one who is passionate about what they love doing creatively. You shouldnt measure yourself as an artist in how "good" you are at the thing. The fact that your passionate and driven by simply doing something you love is where the true beauty comes from. I think most artists are guilty of putting pressure on themselves to be perfect at what they do. It's a part of being human and having an ego. We put high expectations on ourselves and then we feel like we let ourselves down, and even others, if we don't meet them. Take it from me though this can become an unhealthy pattern. It certainly doesn't feel good to stop trying to do something you love. I think that feels worse. I think this feeling sometimes contributes to the depression I experience. But here I am acknowledgeing these things after some growth and I'm ready to give it another go! I want to keep trying. Not because I NEED to be good at it but because i love it and it makes me feel good when I do it!

I really appreciate those that have expressed their love for my work. You guys make me want to keep doing this!

If your some one who wants to work together and collaborate I'm open to doing this! But I think it's important for you to understand where I'm at. I may feel some anxiety working with new people but I'm willing to push myself out of my comfort zone to do the best that I can 😊. I'm still in learning phase although I don't know that I'll ever stop learning new things from this craft. If you want something specific make up wise and I don't have the materials I may ask you to supply them. At the moment my materials for beauty and effects are still minimal. But as my portfolio begins to grow again I hope my kit will too. I am out of work right now so i might at the very least ask for compensation for travel if it is an hour or more away. Also be aware that I don't always check this model mayhem account. If you desperately need to contact me I'm easier to reach through FB. You can find me under the name Summer SkEye. Feel free to check out my artist page as well where you can stay up to date with my make up, modeling, and performance arts.

I hope my being honest about where I'm at will attract more people than detour. I will tell it like it is though. Im human and I have my own struggles and I want to be real about who I am fully. Thanks for taking the time to read this if you have

Lots of love everyone!
