Talented locals!

There are so many talented Canberra locals hiding in our tiny little pool of big fish!

Unfortunatly in Canberra there isnt a huge market for fashion photographers, makeup artists and models... unless of course you are willing to work for free!! This is fine if you are starting out, or are doing it as more of a hobby. But, lets face it, we all want something for nothing, but not when it comes to our own work!

There is however a good market for bridal makeup. The problem however is that this isnt my *favourite* type of makeup to do. Sure, there is great money involved, but its the same makeup over and over, the occassional stressed out, fussy bridezilla! Not exactly the time of my life!

I have been able to start my portfolio of fashion/editorial makeup, with the assistance of some fantastic up and comers.... I wont drop names...yet!

I am ALWAYS looking for feedback...good and bad. With every mistake made, there is a valuable lesson learnt!

Here is the first makeup I did after having baby #2. Not too shabby considering it had been months since picking up a brush!

    This is amazing! I would love to see any more photos of shoots you have done.
    Can't wait to read more posts. It is great to have an MUA with a blog. We will have lots of questions for you

    Thanks for the comments - not sure if I can drectly reply? Still new to this!
    @ Mel - You can do a Certificate IV in Makeup, which is bridal, fashion, TV, theatrical and dips into fantasy SFX - there should be heaps of courses offered in Melbourne. Or you could do the Diploma, which includes everything from the Cert IV + advanced SFX :)

    @Saumya - thanks! Consider your blog followed :)
