Check out some of the dev's.

       


1. What type of art do you do.

I practice makeup artistry as a hobby. I do anything from natural day looks to crazy characters to murals on my eyes! When I do looks, I see my face as a canvas, there’s no boundaries, just art! I also love drawing and tend to draw portraits. I don’t currently have a place to share my drawings but maybe someday in the future.

2. Have you attended formal education for art?

I studied Cinemagraphic Makeup for 1 year, learning mainly special effects. As I don’t have the materials to practice proper full on special effects anymore, I taught myself how to do glamour makeup and then began twisting my looks until they started looking more artsy

3. Where do you get inspirations from for your makeup.

I’m inspired by everything! Cartoons, television, movies, music, pictures, nature, colours, anything can spark an idea, that’s the fun of it, it’s such a random hobby

4. What is your favorite deviation of your own.

My personal favourite is my own version of Snow White, I did this for an online competition and came in first place. It was heaps of fun to do!




5. How long does it take you to do eye makeup?

A simple look I’d wear to work usually takes me half an hour to 45 minutes, an eye look takes between 1-2 hours and a full character makeup can take up to 3 hours. I like to take my time (usually throw on some music) and just relax with it.  The time usually includes taking photos as well.

6. Do you have hobbies or other interests.

I love writing, reading, watching television series/movies and travelling overseas etc.

7. What type of art are you planning to do next.

It’s always a surprise even to me! Most of the time I don’t plan things out until I’m sitting in my makeup chair.

8. What is your favorite book, artist and movie?

I can’t go past Harry Potter I grew up with that series since I was 6 years old, it will always have a place in my life! I don’t have a favourite artist, there’s too many out there to list! Hmm I don’t really have a favourite movie either but I watch far too much Doctor Who and supernatural so they’ll do

9. Any tips or thoughts for budding makeup artists out there?

Never stop practicing! I’m always told by people that they are sad because they can’t do this or that and they’re too scared to try it again because they failed at it the first time. Do it a million more times because I can tell you, when you finally master that skill, you’ll be so proud of yourself for having gone the extra mile!
