Name: Allison Pynn
Age: 38
Title: Makeup Artist
Married/Single: Married
Kids: 2
City you live in: Glendale
A typical day in my life includes…
drop kids off at school (if I don’t have an early call time), drive to a shoot and glam the talent for a typical 6-10 hr work day, answer emails/texts, pack 100 lbs of makeup/hair gear up, get to the grocery store, cook dinner/hang out with my family, answer more emails/texts, and pour a glass of wine.
I was born…
in Phoenix, AZ but raised in the middle of a cornfield in Indiana.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
the BEAUTY, the weather & we are the BEST state for road trips- so much cool stuff to do & see here!
I’m listening to…
anything by Wayne Dyer.
My family…
is funny! We are all about humor in my family- my kids, husband and I are always busting each other’s **** or watching funny videos/movies.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Chelsea Handler and Oprah – same dinner.
One thing I cannot live without…
mascara.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
an animator for Disney.
I’m inspired by…
90’s music videos.
The one person who motivates me is…
whoever writes those life-changing memes.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
I can’t choose just one! Not one more child would ever be abused (in any way) and they’d figure out how to make plant-based burgers to taste like real meat so the animal farming industry would cease to exist.
The perfect day would be…
to wake up in a Disneyland suite, have Sleeping Beauty deliver my breakfast and then spend the day eating calorie-free churros, riding line-free rides all day with Alice in Wonderland.
My first job was…
working at Express at the mall.
My favorite escape…
having a glass of wine at night in bed.
My life…
is exactly what I want it to be (with some minor polishing needed). I’m so grateful.
I’m currently working on…
downsizing my a**.
Always…
say YES…and on side note, ALWAYS check the stall to make sure there’s toilet paper before you sit down.
Never…
ignore your gut instincts.
Favorite Quote…
“There’s a huge amount of freedom that comes to you when you take nothing personally” – D.M. Ruiz.
Biggest Dream…
to keep creating art and inspire people. I want everyone to know whatever passions you have, those are your gifts and your calling. You have to honor them and share them with the world – it’s why we’re here! You can even make your living doing it. Take a leap of faith and decide to follow your passion wherever it leads, your life will change in the most beautiful way. Do it NOW, don’t wait. You won’t see all the steps laid out in front of you, don’t expect to know how its all going to unfold, just say YES and start taking a step. Work EVERY day at this. Every. Single. Day.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
eyelash extensions, rush hour, stuck-up people with s***** attitudes, after I’m done doing someone’s makeup and they blow their nose and remove all the makeup, people that don’t cuss or drink (I don’t trust you).
