Through all the celebrity clients and events, Blunder's proudest moment has been launching her product line. "I am just so proud of it because I never did really well in school — I barely finished high school," she said. "I have a brother who is a professor at a university, and my other brother is a director — they all went to college, they all studied, and my dad always asked, 'What's going to happen with you?' So just to show them all that I was still able to do something amazing, to go into business and learn so much again, that was a really proud moment for me."
Throughout her career, Blunder has never once looked back but there did come a time where she began to question her career path: after becoming a mom. "When my kids were really little, my husband's first big job had him gone all the time — every week he was in New York," Blunder said. "I was almost like a single mom, and it became so hard to work. A lot of makeup artists don't have a life; they really dedicate their life to their job. But for me, it was really hard because my number one goal was to have kids and a family."
Over time, Blunder learned how to work it out, which came down to "making the right decisions on what I take on," she said. "It's been finding a balance, learning how to say no. Your agents are obviously going to tell you that you should take every job, because everyone is making money if you work. But it's a cool thing to be able to say no, because at the end of the day I want to be proud of what I've done, and proud of my kids, too."
