About Me

Ok so I rushed into my first post and I didn't properly introduce myself! So, here is a little bit about me!
I am a 20 year old girl from the one and only Essex!


I originally started my adult life training 3 years at Performing Arts Collage to be a dancer/actress. I had been dancing since I was 2 and it only seemed right that once I left school I would persue this as a career. Unfortunately I left wanting nothing to do with the industry, which was a shame. But the less said about that the better!


It is just coming up to a year since I graduated and I would never have dreamt that I would have done all of the things I have had the opportunity of doing during this time.


I started to get into Glamour modelling, and before I could take a breath I was gracing the pages of some of the top mens magazines in the UK and the Daily Star's Page 3, as well as various online publications. I was even lucky enough to shoot abroad earlier this year!


Once my hate for all things dance/acting related had calmed down, I had the pleasure of dancing at London's 02 arena, where pop star "Rhianna" had performed just the night before!
I took part in the Sky Sports TV show "Soccer AM" as a soccerette and Leyton Orient FC cheerleader alongside Liam Gallagher and American Pies very own "Stiffler". 
I also went on to do other work with Sky Sports including dancing at "Prizefighter" boxing events. 
I then went on to have my very own TV show with 4 other Glamour ladies (Brandy Brewer, Caitlin Wynters, Kate Banks, Farrah Sattaur) "Hot Girls FC" on Sports Tonight TV.


As of March 2012 I decided I wanted to add another string to my bow and I enrolled in the London College of Fashion to become a Make Up Artist. I completed a fast track course in Make Up Artistry where I studied for a month. I have always been surrounded by it, from stage make up when I was young to make up for photo shoots more recently. Im really enjoying learning more in depth about the field and pride myself on giving a professional service as I would have expected.


Well that takes me up to the present time, who knows what I'll be doing this time next year, but I am certainly enjoying my journey!


Here is some photo evidence of what I have been up to...

Photo shoot 12/06/12

Ok so I've decided to start a blog, which will mostly contain information about my life as a makeup artist and glamour model!


And particularly today as I do actually have something to share with you all (I will add a blog with a little bit about me at a later date)


I have had a shoot this morning with 3 gorgeous ladies, 2 who are 16 and looking to get into modelling, and one 24 year old who has just had a baby, and no one would ever know, wow! 


My first look I wanted to achieve something very classy but easily wearable, so I went with trying to achieve gorgeously textured and contoured skin, with a brown based eye and a bright red lip and it came out something like this...

Lady in Red

Product List:

Base
M.A.C strobe cream
M.A.C studio fix fluid
M.A.C studio tech (darker shade used to contour)

M.A.C cream colour base- Pearl (used as highlither)

Mix of M.A.C powder blush

Eyes

Hair

As you can see already my make up kit contains basically all M.A.C products!

I would also like to add I am not in any way trained in hair, I don't pretend I am, I do however feel comfortable at my ability to basically style hair.




My second look I had a girl with slightly darker skin tones and I wanted to create a 70s inspired bronzed beauty, using lots of shimmer and golds and here is what I ended up with...

Hair
Set in rollers, model wore a head piece for this, I didn't take my photo until later when it had been taken out and hair was a bit messed up!



I didn't manage to get any iphone snaps of my 3rd look but we went for typical glamour girl make up!

  • Dark smokey eye
  • Heavily contoured
  • Pale lip with darker liner

As soon as I receive the professional photos back I will be sure to share them with you all,
