WHAT DOES BEAUTY MEAN TO YOU?

"Beauty is defined by the individual. We all know how to make ourselves feel and look beautiful! Whether it be the way we style our hair, the clothes we wear or of course the makeup we apply. Having our own identity and quirkiness allows us to be confident in our own skin and in turn radiates BEAUTY."

WHAT IS ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE MEMORIES OF WORKING IN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY?
Due to my fashion background, working a Backstage Show at Men’s Fashion Week for the SS20 Charles Jeffrey Loverboy Collection, keyed by Lucy Bridge was a very surreal moment for me. Making me realise how lucky and privileged I was to be in a job I adore.

WHAT’S YOUR SIGNATURE GO-TO LOOK?
I love a classic winged liner and lashes look with a Shelly twist! Throwing a pop of pastel blue or neon pink over the lid contrasted with a bold, black liner and dramatic lash. This can be done quick yet be effective and I’m ready to go.

WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO WORK WITH MAC?
MAC was everywhere in the makeup industry growing up a woman. They are and will be the top brand in my eyes. MAC’s motto is we are for All Ages, All Races, All Genders, why wouldn’t I want to work with MAC!

WHAT’S ONE THING PEOPLE WOULD BE SURPRISED TO LEARN ABOUT YOU?
I have never studied makeup and therefore am completely self-taught!

IF YOU WEREN’T IN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY, WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING?
Due to my passion of art, I would absolutely love to be a tattoo artist. The good thing about makeup is if it goes wrong, you can remove it. Tattooing of course is permanent so a tad more daunting.
