My last test shoot...

My last test shoot was FORUNATELY today.

I cannot work for free anymore. Sorry peeps but if you want a great makeup artist like myself then you have to cough up the cash.


My photoshoot was with Nick Goold, AMAZING designer IVY CHAN, models Eleanor and Maria.

I did hair and makeup and OF COURSE it was divine!

It's all professional out 'ere.

The Shoot

Imagination

I'm just trying to think of beauty ideas for my next photoshoot with Nick Goold and IMM model the 2009 Naomi.
Also, i'm trying to figure out Twitter. www.twitter.com/aoxpressions
I dunno... technology huh...?

Back to the shoot. Being creative, being in my element.
"Clean, natural with a small edge is the key for this shoot."

Cannot wait to shoot some behind the scene pictures and film my own videos and put them on my YOUTUBE. If you don't know, you will and you SHOULD! www.aoxpressions.com and click on YOUTUBE!

Life is a journey... are we living to find LIFE or do we have life to live, hmm... I guess the choice is yours.

Stay blessed.

2009... already!?

I really need to get with the programme and that is Blogging... I was thinking to myself that I should write things down more so that I can vent even if nobody reads my sh*t.

I can't believe its 2009 already. So crazy... Next month I'm 23 and time is flying!

So this year, what has happened so far?


With the lovely INSA, S-J, Lauraine Bailey and Emma Slater
With awesome photographer Nick Goold, beautiful and talented Alison Cain and the wonderful Amber- Rose for Hairstyling.

My art has been featured in Drama Magazine and... wait for it my teacher Lucy at London College of Fashion has asked me to do a presentation.... PRESENTATION to the WHOLE class!

It was GREAT, the students asked me questions, I kept it funky with them telling them about my personalised path so far and helped them with their concerns. It was cool. I really enjoyed it and appreciated the opportunity.

Its hard having a full time job that doesnt involve your passion but I know that God has a plan for me.

ALSO!!! OH YEAAAH HOW COULD I FORGET! I had my M.A.C. interview and they basically didnt hire me.

They said that I was "super talented" and that I "had the best work out of all the interviews so far" My "personality was fantastic" and my face looked "flawless"... but...wait for it...

Not enough retail skills....

Wow.

My feelings were a lil' hurt but I got over it.


"One one door closes, another door opens" and i truly believe that.

I also did a photoshoot with Thomas Sels from Super Super and Dave Purgas, t'was very cool. Can't wait to see the pictures.


So this week i'm back at the College with Lucy, can't wait! I'll upload some pics!

Note to self: Buy a photography camera!

Big up The Real Kesh, whom has interestingly inspired me to go for gold and take risks and also do a blog!


Peace

My life as a makeup artist... a learning process. I have come far since finishing my course at London College of Fashion; Promotional Guide to Makeup Artistry.

I just want to be up there with the best makeup artists. Pat McGrath is my mentor (she just doesn't know it yet).
I cannot wait to move to the States and do makeup full time. That is my main goal. Visioning your goal is the starting point. The rest as they say is history.

My work will be in Australian lifestyle magazine Acclaim.

More of my work found on FairyGothMothers' Website

I hope I get to work with another amazing actress. I've done makeup for Guinevere Turner from The L-Word and Gemma Betts Fashion Photographer. That was awesome.
