I am starting out as a professional make-up artist based in Cork.

I am receiving my accreditation from LA Beaute in cork as they are well established and respected in the industry. This was to broaden and expand my skills and further enhance my experience and exposure within the industry.

I have bought and used nearly every brand on the market, this gave me exposure to working and being familiar, with several leading brands and their products.

I feel that, as a Makeup Artist, it is crucial that I constantly refresh any ideas for my inspiration. I love the diverse and creative people that I meet continuously with my work. They have all inspired me in one way or the other.

From an early age I knew I wanted to be a makeup artist and was fascinated by the industry. I was more likely to be found with my head in glossy magazines reading about famous designers, models and make-up artists.

As the years went by, my love of the fashion and beauty industry grew deeper. My idols included Linda Evangelista, Vivian Westwood and Audrey Hepburn.

As a Makeup Artist starting out should be scary but I feel like I have been doing this for years due to my love of doing friends and relations make up for all different occasions.

Here’s to (relatively) new beginnings.
