Blimey, how time flies when you're a professional make-up artist!

Yes that's right folks, I passed my course and am now an MUA - hell yeah!  Need to get loads of practice in before I head out into the world making up the great British public though so if you're in the Croydon area and fancy a free make-over look me up!

The entire course was such a journey for me.  I made some great friends and learnt SO much!  Not just about application but products, brands, loads of phenomenal artists and photographers and about the industry in general.


I had a fabulous time, though I had a couple of tearful wobbles along the way.  I struggled mostly with timing annoyingly, as we were always given time limits but this meant a lot of the time I didn't get to finish the make-up, hence why I want to practice-practice-practice before launching myself professionally.

Here are a few more of my favourite pics from the course and a couple since.  If you have any questions about the products used, feel free to get in touch. 

Pigment day!  On this day Aga did a great tutorial in the AM, showing us a natural look on one side of Festina's gorgeous face and an explosion of colourful pigments on the other.  

She looked so awesome, and got a few stares on her lunch break too!  We then had a go with the pigments ourselves in the afternoon and at the bottom you'll see my look on Maria-Carmen.  I ran out of time (as usual) but I think she looked great.








How cool are the below images?!  Nicci wanted to show us two different glowing skin applications.  If you click into the images you'll see how gorgeous Maira (top pic) & Hannah's (bottom pic) skin looks.



Below are a few more of my favourite looks that I created on the  course though I never managed to get round to finishing Hannah's (top and bottom) looks.  Both obviously need some blush and mascara but I think the colours look really pretty on her.





Some practice on my sisters before our photoshoot day.  Clio (on the left) was made up with a fresh, dewy application for my beauty look and Perdy (on the right) got the fashion look.  Finally i managed to get the looks done in the 45mins, hurrah!



And here are a couple looks I've done since the course.  Mostly i've been concentrating on perfecting my eyeliner technique (please excuse my dark circles, I didn't bother with a base but probably should have!).  There is also a pretty, green smokey eye look and Manuela was my model for the orange lips which i think look perfect on her warm, Italian skin.
