I have always been passionate and had a creative flair for
art, I decided to become a professional make-up artist after
completing my art degree.
I realised I had a talent for make up whilst
working for Estee lauder as a part-time make up artist
whilst studying for my degree.
I then decided to move to London where I attended Greasepaint
- International School of television, film and theatre. Here
I gained extensive training where I qualified in all aspects
of make-up and hair styling.
Whilst working in the make-up field I gained
much experience in the television industry working on programmes
such as Bloomberg News and the Community Channel. I have
also worked extensively in film and theatre.
As well as my Television, film and theatre work I have gained
experience in fashion make-up working on
shoots for Impact Model Management and various magazines and
photoshoots.
I have been featured in a reality tv show called Hired
or Fired on Sky TV Channel - Red. Demonstrating my expertise
in make-up and hair. You can see the
programme here.
One of the most rewarding things I have done is giving careers
talks to potential future make-up artists at Brimingham City
College.
You can see more about these college talks here - Ageing
Beauty
I have kept up with the latest product knowledge by working
for Estee Lauder companies such as Lauder, Stila, Bobby Brown
and Prescriptives. I have also been trained by MAC on
all there techniques including foundation airbrushing.
Like all of my other make-up work I have
found a keen interest in Bridal make-up and hair
styling, and now find this the most rewarding part
of my career. Making other people feel special on what
is the most important day of there life.
I have since relocated back to Birmingham (West
Midlands) where I have obtained my own hair salon,
Salon G. I now maintain a balance of working between
my freelance make-up work and my salon.
I can cover all areas of the country but some travel expenses
maybe charged depending on distance.
