What is Makeup n Thingz about...
I am a graduate with a Degree in Dental Therapy and since dental school had been in private practice for 9 years. Despite studying towards my degree, I found myself being drawn to makeup and constantly fed my hunger for this amazing passion. Now, being a stay at home mum of 2 kids, my passion has become my escape and the urge to learn more has become a way of life.
This way of life (lol), as i call it, has been a passion of mine since I was allowed to use it. I was happiest when I would be complimented on how perfect the make up was when I routinely applied it on family and friends for functions and events.
A temporary move to Canada spurred me to complete a 3 X 2hour course in fashion and beauty make up at Face to Face, an internationally recognised beauty & makeup design school, and to watch as many YouTube videos to greedily take in as much as I could. I was in awe of the self taught make up gurus and quickly realised that make up is a skill that every female should possess.
Girls have 2 gifts.....TEARS & MAKEUP.
When we look good, we are automatically happier and more confident. Now, you do not have to quit your day job and follow a career in makeup artistry to be able to skilfully bring out your best features and enhance your natural beauty. If you enjoy playing around with makeup or are keen on learning how to apply makeup, then that is all the requirement you need to get started. We are always led to believe that perfectly applied makeup can only be achieved by professional makeup artists yet there are hundreds of SELF TAUGHT artists that are talented beyond description.
I concentrate not only on occasion makeup application but also on teaching makeup to those individuals who want to pursue this interest or to those that just want a fun change in focus.
