If you wrote the story of Paige DeAngelo's life so far, it would be in mascara.

Start with dance. Ever since she was a toddler watching her older sisters in dance class in Haddon Township, New Jersey, the United States, she loved it. By age eight, she was competing and putting on her own makeup. Lots of mascara there.
