Visiting Auntie Linda

This past week I traveled to New York City for the first time to visit my Auntie Linda and take her special intensive course in makeup. I came a long way from Newcastle, England, where I am working to complete NVQ Level 3 Beauty Therapy at South Tyneside College. This course has taught me a great deal, but most of all I’ve learned how to work with colour. In this photo, I did a shimmering smoky eye, inspired by the colour of my model’s turqoise blouse; I left the cheeks and lips on the natural side to allow the colour on the eyes to stand alone. I am having an amazing time working on the models and enhancing my skills as a makeup artist – I can’t wait to bring what I’ve learned back home with me!
