My First Blog - Hello world!

Well hi there!

This is my first blog post.  I thought it’s about time that I get onto the whole blog thing.  There may be a bit of teething issues to start off with, as I try to learn it, figure it out and learn how to write about …. um… me?  Makeup?  The meaning of life?  Well I can’t promise that I’ll write about the meaning of life, but I will write about makeup, and my life as a makeup artist.  Do you want me to write about something in ?  Let a sista know! 

In the mean time, I suspect that I will create blogs about my life working as a makeup artist, working on set, on shoot’s, with wonderful brides, products I love or hate, and tips and tricks.  I can’t promise that it’ll be regular, although I will do my best.  I can’t promise that there won’t be a tone of writing or grammatical mistakes, but I can promise to do my best!

So a little bit about me. 
I am a freelance makeup artist in Melbourne.  I’ve been working as a professional makeup artist for the past 6 years. 
I
love all aspects of makeup, from bridal and events, to photographic,
and film.  They are all very different areas to work in, and I love them
all for different reasons!

Being part of a Brides special
day, and making them feel beautiful is a really amazing experience, and
I feel very privileged to be let in to be a part of it - and there is
nothing quite like the buzz of working on set or on location with a
killer film crew, and creating a character.
Photographic work
is a chance to do beautiful or creative or something to push the
boundaries in a controlled environment.  You can do makeup’s on a
photoshoot that you simply can’t do in other situation, for example
gloss on the eye, which looks fantastic in photos, but in real life,
will sometimes only last as little as 30 seconds before it changes into a
read hot mess.

So I think over the coming weeks, I’ll do a
little individual post about each of these things to kick of my new
super amazing kick arse blog ;)

Oh… and this is me…
