Firstly, I think I should apologise for not posting for over a month, although I'm sure not many people read this blog, this was meant to be my way of 'escaping' the real world and doing what I enjoyed every once in a while. Unfortunately, this hasn't been the case for me recently and I felt I needed to take some time out to sort myself out, things have been pretty hectic lately, but now I'm really going to try and hop back on the blogging band wagon!
So, I'm still at university, studying Photography, but my recently discovered passion for make up artistry has grown so much and now I find myself looking at tutorials, practicing looks, following MUA's on instagram or rummaging through my kit thinking what else I can build to it all the time, it's pretty distracting but it's something I finally feel really passionate about and something I know I want to pursue in the future.
Recently, I've been helping out my friend Charlie Pope on his photographic shoots, doing make up on myself and other models, and I cannot begin to describe how happy it makes me, seeing the final images and knowing you were behind the make up for it is just so worthwhile. Here are some images from the shoots:

Being on a photography course, I feel so guilty all the time that I'm always in front of the camera, whether this be being the model for the shoot, or doing the make-up for it! I hate to say it, but I just feel more comfortable there - actually having the camera in my hands and having the option to do so much in the studio scares me more than it thrills me! Give me a load of Real Technique brushes and an eye-pallette and I feel a lot more comfortable! (No seriously, please give me more Real Technique brushes) haha!
Despite my forced passion for photography right now, I'm determined to persevere through at get this done, I've never been that person to give up - I'm far too stubborn - so tomorrow is finally my time in the studio! Nervous doesn't even cover how I'm feeling but it needs to be done!
Anyway that should be enough for a little catch up!
