Heres the start of something fun and new for me, my first ever blog around something I truly love and enjoy.. make up! yep, another girly blog and make up :) although with this I intend to grow and develop, I don't protest to be an expert nor an artist more like a beginners beginner :). I have no formal qualifications just a passion and YouTube history longer than I dare to imagine!
I was never one to enjoy doing my make up as a teen, I always felt awkward and as if I was always doing it wrong so I would just rush it and hope for the best, I gradually became better at this rush and hope for the best technique which happily led me into my 20's! As I got older and started to learn to love myself more I wanted to make the most of my features but never understood how, this is where YouTube came into my life! I started watching basic tutorials to build my confidence in how to apply my make up. The first occasion I wanted to really get my make up right was my graduation ceremony in Nov 2012 aged 22! for hours I watched tutorial after tutorial, practiced every aspect? shopped specifically for set brushs and make up not just the basic foundation, eyeshadow and bronzer but I found the world of contouring and highlighting, concealers, primers and bb creams! all this added together started my love for make up. The next big event I built upto was my wedding day, the amount of times I had been to cosmetic counters and walked away feeling a clown I really didn't feel comfortable leaving it in someone else's hands! So onto YouTube I went again, video after video I learnt so much more, bought individual brushs rather than just an cheap variety set, discovered different brands from American and Australian vloggers and when it got to the day I knew what I wanted and how and with a little help from a good friend (don't worry another YouTube and make up addict, I was in safe hands) I felt perfect for the day!
ever since these two occasions I have really just built a love and respect for what make up can do for a girl, on those days where you just need a mask to keep you smiling or the days you want to show off to the world your best features or simply the days you just wanna look god damn hot!
so here is the start of my journey into the world of make up and all that love it! I want to test different products, discover different techniques and just have fun really :) hope you enjoy my journey and I really look forward to reading your feedback!
