Pursuit 365 Day 7: Dannica Lamoureux

Dannica is a Makeup Forever National Educator in Canada.

Growing up I did not believe I was creative. Turned out, I was wrong, and my creativity took the form of problem-solving. Thinking about that, if I could speak with my past self, I would tell myself that it is okay to take a different path than the one travelled by most.  I would point out that it is all right to be unconventional and blaze your own trail in life. That not following the most politically correct way up the corporate ladder can be satisfying if you approach it with honesty, thoughtfulness, and with reason. Maybe the basis for becoming an educator was to show others there are different ways to learn and unexplored means of getting there. 

My career began soon after college. I had always been an athlete in both high school and college but a comment from a fellow I admired, rocked my world. He said…there she is…great at sports and pretty too. He was talking about another athlete, not me. That cinched it, I went out and bought my first eyeliner and a love for makeup was born. Growing up in Edmonton, Alberta, I went to school for business and marketing at NAIT. Soon after graduation, I worked for a marketing firm where I was exposed to the world of commercial advertising. During filming one day, I watched a makeup artist prepare the actors, on set. Being passionate about makeup and beauty, my eyes were opened to the possibility that my passion and career could be one in the same. I headed to Vancouver, British Colombia to study makeup artistry at Blanche MacDonald. 

After graduating as a makeup artist, I worked retail and loved my role as a Beauty Expert. I built relationships with women who needed help discovering products that worked for them and made them feel joyful about themselves. Being a makeup artist was very satisfying because it allowed me to share the gift of beauty with so many different people.

One of my scariest and most joyful learning experiences, was working 100% on commission doing outside hair supplies sales for salons. Creating relationships and reading the needs of the salons and their owners was a craft all on its own. Here, I proved to myself that I was in control of my future, my business and my JOY. This commission-based role helped me to land a full-time regional sales position with MAKE UP FOR EVER.

Now residing in Montreal, Quebec, I am the National Educator for the brand, and the Shopping Network Representative. Celebrity clients have included Kehlani, Ria Mae, Martin Short, Gord Bamford among others. I have worked on many National commercial campaigns including Travel Alberta, Arctic Spa, and Big Valley Jamboree. 

I pride myself on elevating others, whether they are in the field or in corporate head office. I am passionate about seeing growth in others and sharing the knowledge I have earned over the past 20 years.

Available at @roamgallery featuring @golfoart_  "When I start painting I let loose. I’m diving into my inner world where no one else exists but me! I create the moment, I create art from the heart,I’ll never know how it will end. When I started the “lost in my jungle” we were in the midst of the pandemic. I was panicked, I felt wild animals were after me to harm me and the people I love, I was frantically looking for a clear passage to safety! I could see the light at the end but it looked so far away! Painting my fears free me from my agony and gave me more positive energy for the near future!"

Let’s do something out of the norm together, rea Let’s do something out of the norm together, ready? ⠀  Let’s take a sec to reflect. We rarely make time to reflect these days, and there’s a good reason for that! ⠀  Reflecting means we have to look at all of it…⠀
The things that worked, ⠀
The things that didn’t work, ⠀  The things that hurt, ⠀  The things that broke us, ⠀  The things that made us, ⠀  The things that pushed us….⠀  When we reflect, we see it all…⠀  And seeing it all can bring up a lot of big emotions that we’d rather just avoid all together. ⠀  Knowing this, I have a question for you…⠀  What REALLY didn’t work for you in 2020? ⠀  What was it that REALLY pushed you outside your comfort zone? ⠀
Did the whole year really “suck”…or were there moments of joy? Were there seasons of beauty? Were there snippets of laughter? ⠀  It’s really easy to look back and GENERALIZE how the entire year went if we’re not intentional about how we reflect…⠀  And let’s get honest, 2020 was a different year. ⠀  It presented peaks and valleys with many highs and lows…⠀  And it’s a lot easier to get stuck in a valley than it is to climb to the peak.⠀  So when we reflect, many of us fall into the depths of the valley and get submersed in the darkness - we can no longer see the light! We only see what didn’t work…and we forget everything that did. ⠀  We forget what joy there was, what opportunities came to be, what golden nuggets were born from so much unknown….⠀
And because we forget to see the light…and the dark feels so uncomfortable…⠀We just avoid reflection! ⠀  Can you imagine looking back on 2020, and being guided through a process of integrating the LIGHT from 2020? Imagine being able to change your mind about challenges and what they mean for you? ⠀  Reflection doesn’t have to be dark…  It doesn’t have to be scary or boring…⠀  It doesn’t even have to be deep and meaningful!⠀  Reflection gets to be positive, a medium for light, a moment of self-love.⠀  Are you ready to reflect on who you’ve been to determine who you’ll become? ⠀  If you don’t learn the lessons, chances are…⠀
You’ll never change!⠀  Start here….RRR was created to guide you..connect with @theresalambertcoaching to get more from this post!
