#WomanCrushWednesday celebrates our favorite influencers and cool girls who work in the fashion and beauty space.Here, Jenny Bahn, Blushcon influencer and MUA shares how makeup has impacted her life, the 1980s campaign she worked on that she loved and what music she jams to when doing makeup. How did you get started in makeup? I started during the time I was working as pro dance artist back in the Philippines. I had to do my own makeup and hair before our live shows and that was the time my love of makeup started. My first gig was during the time I had to do my other co-dancers makeup backstage before our performance.What does a typical day look like for you today?Picture a woman without any makeup on, messy hair and sitting in front of her laptop so she can check her email while she tries to spoon-feed her toddler and keep her entertained the whole day while working.How has working in makeup impacted your life, and what moment in your career are you most proud of?Makeup impacted my life when I realized that it is one of many tools on the path to finding yourself and loving yourself. I thoroughly believe that makeup can be used as a building block for self-confidence and positive self-image, and being able to make other people feel good about themselves through makeup application is what I will always be proud of.What's your favorite show or campaign you've worked on to date?I love 1980s era, so when I had to do a makeup during a 1980s’ theme TV performance, I had so much fun working on set.      View this post on Instagram          Makeup is art.

My passion for cosmetics and anything beauty-related isn’t driven by a need to transform myself to blend in or to cover my natural features. To me, makeup is simply an extension of my lifelong love affair with art.Read More#WCW: Justine SweetmanWhy We’re Crushing on Caroline Vazzana — Fashion Editor and Author#WCW Kristen Ess
