πŸ’ Hey! I am Melissa Van Dijk Professional Makeup Artist πŸ’

in #introduceyourself β€’ 6 years ago

Hi everyone,

I recently scrolled down to my first two posts to see what I’ve posted because it’s been 2 years from now. Being active on Steem for 2 years makes me super excited because I’ve learned a lot.

When you first start to use Steem doesn’t matter which Dapp (@Esteem,@Busy,@Dtube,@partiko, etc.)you are using, you are always more than welcome to introduce yourself so that the community gets to know you! Which I did back then, and I noticed that lots of things have changed in my life compare to the intro post I’ve made.

Furthermore, I want to introduce myself to the people who recently started to support and followed me on the various platforms! – THANKS A LOT β™₯️

Recently, I read a post on Steemit and to be more specific in the German community. (@maxpatternman) I noticed that they are very active on Steem which I didn’t know because I only posted in English... This post was so exciting to read. German is kind of my second language. (well French as well, but we have kind of "2-second languages" in Luxembourg if that makes sense...)Anyway, I thought that it would be a good idea to update it!

And here we go with the update:

My name is Melissa van Dijk, and I’m @mvd on Steem, and I’m @MVD#8958 on Discord

I’m from Luxembourg and live currently in Australia, but I don’t have a primary place where to live yet…

I’m the type of person who loves pizza and sweets and thinking about life in general. Why do we see life as it is? I’m an open-minded person, ready for new adventures. Generally, my life is unplanned, which makes it fabulous as well as enjoyable.

I finished my school in Luxembourg, and after that I decided to move to Australia with my husband where we studied English here in paradise. πŸ₯° (I mean Cairns, which is so far the most beautiful place that I have ever seen in my entire life!) Then I studied β€˜β€™Retail Makeup Artistry & Skin Care’’ in Brisbane, and after that, we went back to Europe (Vienna, Austria) were I studied the Makeup Artist Professional degree.

That’s why you’ll find lots of makeup related posts.

Now, we are back in Australia, and I started the diploma of Leadership & Management which will finish in a few months.

After that…? Who knows what’s going to happen. But I am looking for a Bachelor degree probably in Business (marketing), or maybe β€œBeauty Therapy” don't know yet, but I want to have my own beauty business in the future! 😊

I’m very passionate about makeup, and I really enjoy being active on various social media platforms! And I can’t imagine not doing it anymore! β™₯️

I believe in Steem, and I think that if we work together, we can make Steem great again! (haha)

Hey thank you very much I had a look at your channel as well amazing art!☺️

Thanks Melissa, it really cool what you do on your page too, my sister is also a makeup artist i guess i would show her some of your works too bad she's not on steemit ....if i may ask are you related to the Van Dijk of liverpool😁

@guchidan Thank you :) Why isn't your sister on Steemit? She should join it and start sharing her looks as well! I can't wait to meet new people that are into makeup as well :)

No, I don't think so, well let's say I'm not aware of this haha πŸ˜‚

Well i have persuaded her severally but shes a very busy person who hardly have time for social media although she does makeup at her own spare time,

you never can tell he may be your cousin lol πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ahahhaahhaa #justkidding

Haha, do not give up we need to grow the community! πŸ€ͺ

Well i will still try ahahahajaha but certainly won't force herπŸ˜‚

You are welcome. Be sure to use the introduceyourself tag only when you are a new users. Thanks

@luppers yes, however people are not reading it lol, what do you think about that? Doesn't make any sense if someone introduce himself and people are not even reading it... it's very sad...

Well, there are a lot of posts in the introduceyourself section. Perhaps there should be more effort to read them and look after the minnows. That is what I am trying to do.

@luppers Well, I really appreciate that.πŸ₯° And you are right! I just wanted to use it because I wanted to let people know that I am her, and that many things have changed etc...

Hi @mvd
How to get rid from dark circles around eyes?
Picture your your correct understanding about what I am asking is added below.

Hey,

Well to be honest you can't really get rid off the puffiness under the eyes.(There are some things you could do to reduce it for example placing cucumber on it or put something cold on it...)But the only thing which would work in the long term is surgery. The best thing you could do is ask a specialist.

However if you want to cover up the darkness you can easily hide it by using color corrector concealer πŸ˜„

I have done a few videos about it also live streams where I am showing you step by step how you can cover it up it isn't difficult if you are using the right colors β™₯️

Makeup Tutorial For Dark Circles - Jetlag Hack Makeup:

@devrathee

I just noticed that it's you didn't realize it sorry. Not sure if you are watching my tutorials...πŸ™ƒ You have to upload a profile picture so that people can recognize you immediately. πŸ˜„

But also for men, I would use color corrector. I guess that the next big beauty trend is makeup for men. ☺️

@mvd
In your above comment, I didn't understand the meaning of first line "I just noticed that it's you didn't realize it sorry". If you didn't have any problem, then can you please explain this line that is in between inworted commas.

@devrathee well, I didn't know you are the guy from this post:
7wls00968u.png
Because you don't have a profile picture, you need to upload a profile picture so, that people will recognize you otherwise, we have no idea who you are.

So, I didn't know that you were a guy who was asking about the dark circles :) anyway, hope that my tutorials can help you :)

It's me, in that post.
I have a dark circles around my eyes but very very little which one can see after I uses spectacles.

Well yeah, I would recommend using a color corrector and after that a "normal" concealer so that you can cover them πŸ˜€

Well, to be honest I would like to join. But it is just not possible I am in Australia and I want to finish my studies like I wrote above. And I do not have the money for a "quick flight" back to Europe, it is very expensive would cost about 1200Euro only the flight. But yes, if the forum "moves around" like @hauptmann mentioned in his previous videos we could catch up some day πŸ™ƒ

Same for you take care and thanks for supporting my work. 😊

How beautiful you are @mvd your constant work in the community makes you a girl with a lot of perseverance and high level of commitment.
Your adventure in life is just beginning, many good things will come for you.
The photographs of the place where you live are beautiful, I love the sea is a great blessing and achieve an incredible natural beauty therapy.
I am delighted to meet you, on this other side of the world. For all the communities that support you, I tell you this girl is a great power. Many successes.
Good vibes.

Hey @angelica7

At first, I wanted to say thank you for your kind words. πŸ’‹

I have to say that I had to Google some of the words that you were using in your sentences because I didn't know them, I guess that I still have a lot to learn (haha)

But yes, the area is the most amazing that I have ever been like you said it's a natural beauty therapy.

I hope that we can catch up some day at your place or here in Australia, I would love to travel but I can't for the moment because everything is so expensive where I'm at, and I have to finish my studies anyway. The laws(visa) in Australia are quite strict, and I don't want to make any mistakes. However, I hope that it will be possible soon probably when steem goes back up again! πŸ₯°
