Another thing that could be seen as a motivation of founding the venture was Frank’s idea of forming a “Dream Team” for the marketing and technology sections. But Zondigo could not satisfy all of Addante’s motiva-tions of founding ventures because the fast growth of Zondigo was averted by missing outside funding. This problem was caused by several changes in the business plan. Addante had to adjust his ideas and adapt them to the investment community. After he finally received out-side funding he realized that there was no market for his idea so he returned the funding to his investors.

When I turned eleven years old, just like many other girls, I developed a new interest: makeup. I was endlessly fascinated by this way to transform the everyday into something new, and amazed by the intricate creations, terrifying monsters, and almost magical transformations I saw online. It didn’t take me long to try creating my own art.

Makeup wasn’t the easiest thing to find or create. The things makeup contained back then will leave you breathless. I wouldn’t have imagined that makeup used so many different things through history. Makeup has a lot of steps to it than just applying it on your face. Makeup seems like it’s nothing but it has a lot to it especially history because it has changed a whole lot over time. It hasn’t only changed by the ingredients but the colors and designers as well as time keeps going by new things also come out.

Did you know that makeup has been around for 12,000 years. The ancient Egyptians were the ones that invented the beautiful work of art …. Makeup. Studies show that about 44% of women are “ dependent on makeup”. What’s the purpose of makeup? Why do so many people wear it? How do you even put it on? For beginners, It’s good to know the purpose of wearing makeup, the different types of makeup, and the proper application to create a fresh- faced work of art.

(“Color Them Extraordinary With a Makeup Career”) I believe that makeup artists have the ability to create anything out of anyone, and that they have a unique canvas to paint on; the human body. Applying and learning about makeup has been an interest of mine ever since I was little, and it only made sense to start looking into a career in the world of makeup artistry. Makeup artistry as a career interests me because I’d wake up knowing that my job for the day is exercising my creativity and help make others feel confident. If one is truly interested in makeup, this career never feels like a job. (Clark)

Comically, the first time I ever wore black eyeshadow, my friends asked me “Em, what’s on your face? Did someone give you a black eye?” I knew from then on that cosmetology school was not in my future plans. I wanted my face to be flawless; to be airbrushed and smooth like the models in teen magazines. Society told me that in order to be beautiful, I had to fit into its confines of perfection. Now, I know that to not be true, for beauty is much more than looking like a Barbie doll, true beauty comes from possessing a good

I believe that I have asked all the questions I had prepared for this interview. Do you have anything that you would like to add or any advise that would be helpful for me?

Throughout this semester this class has allowed me the privilege to get to know people who I would have never talked to on a personal level while also having the chance to advance my interviewing skills while getting to know them. Not only did these interviews and experiences display my strengths such as being able to adapt to certain situations but even more importantly it helped show me my weaknesses. After one interview and the next, I had to learn what role I had to play as within each interview I had to adapt to find my specific role as it varied from one to the next. Having the opportunity to interview a handful of people from the beginning of this semester to now has also taught me that the person you are interviewing can have a tremendous effect on if the interview goes successfully or not for reasons that I will elaborate on further in my paper. Lastly, one of the greatest lessons I learned about while interviewing people would be how to properly prepare to make sure the interview itself go as smoothly as possible. All of these factors have helped me grow in becoming a better interviewer and have helped me grow as a person.

One story I can think back to that people told about me that wasn’t true was in high school. I’ve always had an ability to impersonate accents. I’ve always had a keen sense to learn about the subtleties and intricacies of each accent, whether it’s from a different region in the United States, or abroad. One day, after school, somebody went home and told his mom that I was being racist by impersonating an accent. In no means was I trying to be racist, I was just trying to add humor to a story. For a while, there were a few people who thought for some reason that I didn’t like people of other race. This couldn 't have been farther from the truth, and quite honestly, it hurt that other people thought I was racist

Haiti’s GDP(gross domestic profit) was at an all time high at $11.9 billion, but ever since the 7.0 magnitude earthquake during 2010, it has made the already struggling country less economically stable. This is due to the fact that many of it’s industrialized buildings were destroyed. Comparing the U.S and Haiti, many products such as a McDonald’s meal and water would cost $7.04 in Haiti while in the U.S it would cost $9.91. A standard living space (one bedroom/bathroom apartment) in Haiti’s capital ,Port-au-Prince would cost on average $957.45, while in the U.S generally it would cost $1,685.98. Basic utilities such as electricity, air conditioning, water and garbage collection would cost $86.67 in Haiti but $162.12 in America. Because of the extremely low stability in Haiti’s economy, many items would naturally be cheaper and easier to obtain than in an economically stable nation, such as the

The experience and knowledge you have is a great asset of yours.

Throughout time the world’s perception of makeup has always been seen as a way for women to enhance their facial features, a way to feel more accepted into society, and as a way to gain the attention of another individual. Society has set specific standards that women and only women can wear makeup. Although in theater productions it was socially acceptable for men to paint their faces, it was not encouraged that men use their cosmetic abilities outside of performances. Many cultures have drilled the idea into their son’s heads that they cannot wear or play with makeup because they would lose their masculinity. Applying makeup was never seen as a way of self expression, but that a woman's natural beauty wasn’t good enough and that her

Makeup Art Cosmetics (MAC) was founded in 1985 in Toronto by Frank Toskan and the late Frank Angelo. The business plan concentrated on targeting young, fashionable females by creating cosmetic products which contain unique textures and colours. Using this strategy, the company targeted the ¡°hip¡± celebrities and other cosmetic influencers to gain recognition and market share in the younger consumer market.
