So, after much deliberation (and even more peer pressure from Zara Taylor ;P) I have finally decided to start blogging! Yay!!!
I never really saw the point in it at first; simply because I felt I wasn't doing anything interesting enough to write about (Plus I didn't have heaps of money to spend on trying new products everyday..."ain't nobody gaatt time for that!") However, in the last few months, my work life has taken an almighty leap of awesomeness and I want to start sharing my experiences with everyone!
Thanks to the very talented Liam Curran (www.liamcurran.co.uk) I have had the pleasure of assisting him on a number of shoots for magazines such as USED, WONDERLAND and I-D ONLINE, with brands such as ADIDAS, ASOS, YSL and even musicians like IGGY AZALEA!
Here are few examples of Liam's beautiful work that I assisted him on:
BOOTIFUL Aren't They?!...The Models I Mean :P
ANYHOO! Just when I thought my life couldn't get any more awesome...AOFM (www.aofmakeup.com) posted an AMAZING opportunity on their Facebook page; for graduates who had completed their Total Pro Freelance Hair and Makeup Course (Which I did in Feb '12 last year) to do the Hair and Makeup, on six different events throughout the summer, for Platinum selling Recording Artist KATE NASH! Can you say "Errrrhhhmagaaahhhd?!"
Needless to say, I applied as soon as I could (who wouldn't jump at such a wonderful opportunity?!) and they picked me! Little old me!
Here is a picture with myself and Miss Nash after completing her look for the evening ahead (I will post a list of products I used to complete the look below):
If you've never heard of AOFM, and you're thinking about taking a professional makeup course, I highly suggest looking them up. They offer a wide range of courses to suit everyone and their aftercare is second to none! I wouldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for them. And this is only the tip of the Iceberg!
As for Kate...Well...She's just plain cool...Aside from being immensely talented...She is super sweet, super funny and she has a three year old bunny called Fluffy!
