Summary

I am a self-motivated make-up artist, with over 21 year's retail experience, having completed my diploma in Screen and Media Specialised Make-up in 2018, I worked in a Bridal store where I was doing many different roles. Before this I was a self-taught make-up artist having done weddings, formals and special events for clients.

Starting with Mecca Brands in July 2019, I got to extend my knowledge of makeup brands & products. Being a makeup artist in this fast paced envorinment never knowing who your clients will be prepares you for anything. I became highly interested in skin care at this time & studied within Mecca & became a Skin Care Specialist & then a facialist. I absolutely love this industry & have truly found my passion. Being a people person I thrive in making people feel good & look their best. I have many clients that I have built great relationships with, that keep coming back time & time again.
