Hi, I'm Dara! Welcome to thecosmeticscollector.com!
I'm just a gal from Ireland who has ALWAYS had this overwhelming passion for all things beauty. So much so, that I used to force my sister to be my spa client when we were kids. To think I gave her a Sudocream facial which led her skin to react and breakout into a rash still gives me shivers! Sorry Ciara! Recently and (FINALLY) I graduated college with a marketing degree.
I have always loved makeup and have basically worshipped the sacred grounds of Sephora for a very long time. In 2016, my passion turned into a qualification as I became a fully trained makeup artist. As makeup always felt personal, I moved away from the MUA career and just kept my skill and qualification for myself. However if one of my friends asks me to do their makeup or fix their eyeliner flick, I will be more than happy to oblige even though deep down I'm petrified that I'm doing a bad job!
In 2019, I decided to put my passion into action and I created the thecosmeticscollector.com. In a sea that is already filled to the brim with incredible blogs, I just aspire to share what I have learned, tried and tested of all things cosmetic and more. This is my happy place, so welcome and I hope that you enjoy!
