Hi Beauties,
I have been MIA lately haven't I? I know but I have good reason, between studying for exams and working and other things in my life I have neglected blogging a bit. But I will try to make it up to you. On the upside I have  huge announcement..... *Drum Roll please* As of Saturday I wrote my last exam and I will be graduating on the 17th with a diploma in Professional Make Up Artistry!!!!! Yay! Thanks for all the support and I will make you guys proud. I am so ready to begin my career that I am thinking 5 to 10 yrs ahead. I have been putting alot of updates on the facebook page however since it takes less time to blog so check out the facebook page in the mean time until I post everything right here.

Another update... My very talented bff Mo recently reached a milestone- Her blog "Curvy Geekery" made 1 yr and she decided to throw a fashion show with her new collection of clutches called "Feeling Good" from Clutch Culture to celebrate the occasion. I got the pleasure of doing the models' makeup with another MUA- Megan Morrison and together we pulled off a dark smokey eye with false lashes and matte red lips look on all models. The show was amazing, the clutches were amazing, the entertainment was amazing, the guest looked amazing and the atmosphere was of course amazing. From this night, I know that this is what I want to do with my life.

Fashion Show Beauty

Hi Beauties, Last week Sunday I got asked to be one of the makeup artists at the Fashion and Design Festival Fashion Show at Historic Properties at the Halifax Waterfront. Thanks to Mo who featured a new line of clutches (which I loved) I was one of 4 makeup artists there with Ria, Megan and Anna- Marie. There were three featured designers- Mo, Rebecca and John David along with some retailers. The atmosphere backstage was intense. I've worked behind the scenes at beauty pageants before but backstage at a fashion show is more intense. There is never enough time to fix the hair or reapply the lipstick because the models would be running back to get back on the runway. I even did hair that day, it was just a simple messy bun. lol


For Mo's models She wanted a cat eye with a bright lip so each of the artist came up with great ideas like orange, green, turquoise, purple glitter and tangerine-gold with some very flirty cat eyes.

DOING HAIR

Rebecca, one of the designers, Mo and her models and Mo and I and me doing one of Rebecca's models. She wanted lush lashes and a pretty face with nude lips.

Mo and her models with her clutches, Rebecca and her models, Laurie's look that I did for Rebecca's show. Rebecca's designs were so wearable and trendy. Loved it.

I had fun even though it was intense and fast paced behind the scenes. It was really an adrenaline rush. I would love to do it again. 

Oh and that fringed purse by Mo is mine!
