So I'm finally getting around to doing something I have wanted to do for ages, my own personal makeup blog. I have started this for many reasons, and even though I am not qualified I believe I can still provide a valid opinion on products, dupes as well as tutorials etc.
I am a self taught makeup artist from Melbourne, Australia, studying my diploma of specialist make-up services in 2012. Therefore I will be fully qualified by the end of the year and finally in an industry in which I have worked towards for so long.
Ever since I could remember I have always had a passion for makeup. It wasn't until I was finishing school and been accepted into fashion that I realised fashion design wasn't the industry I was 100% passionate about, it was makeup. I knew I still belonged in the fashion industry, but involved in a completely different way, as my creativity was blooming in other areas.
Ever since I can remember I have been wetting Faber-Castell watercolour pencils like the loser I am and applying them on my eyes and lips (no joke either).
Even before I was old enough to be wearing makeup on an everyday basis, I had a never ending collection in which I had hoarded from my mother, and purchasing myself with pocket money. The idea fascinated me endlessly, whether or not it was appropriate for my age group at the time.
Being on stage from a young age introduced me to the practicality of makeup and has taught me that as much as people assume, it is not all to do with materialism.
I'm sure others can agree, but when explaining what I wanted to do when I was older, I was often shunned by others, put down by the materialistic matters that makeup comes with. Either way, I'm determined to make something a bit different seeing as growing up in Australia, we are limited to brands that we see by those on international makeup guru channels and blogs etc.
So here goes nothing, hope you guys get something out of it like I do :) xo
