Wow it's been long! | The London Palladium

So i promised myself i'd blog daily and look what's happened, i have done my usual and not stuck to something i've started. I have however been extremely busy, some of which i will share with you and some that i shan't. A lot of things have happened in my life recently and i have been distracted away from my computer so i really apologise for the lack of blogging!

I've decided i don't want my blog to be purely based on beauty, although it is one of my biggest passions i have a lot of things i'd like to blog about so from now on there will be a variety.

One of my most recent and exciting events in my life, is the fact i had the opportunity to do make-up at the London Palladium theater, this theater is where this years Britain's got Talent auditions are held at, and is also where the new musical 'A Chorus Line' is shown.

I am so so so proud of one of my older cousins, who landed himself a main role in this production! His name is Ed Currie and he plays the role of Bobby. Thanks to him, he got me involved in the make-up department and i worked with one of the top make-up artists, Diana Estrada-Hudson. When i arrived i was so so nervous, i still haven't completed my course in make-up and all the other team members were fully qualified and professional.

The show i was helping out with was called the 42nd Street Charity Gala and there were a lot of celebrities there which was exciting! I know Gok Wan was there, but i didn't see him and only really saw Vanessa Feltz which is a bit disappointing. (sorry Vanessa)

Luckily the dancers make-up wasn't too complex, and a smokey eye and red lip was all that was required. I was buzzing. In the make-up studios at one of the top theater's in London doing what i loved. I soon forgot that i was the least qualified in the room, and focused on the girls i had been given to make over. One of the girls let me take a photo of her finished look. I can't list the products used as because it was a charity event, the girls all brought their own make-up kits.


It was such a great experience meeting the team, who taught me a lot and showed me the way they work, and also meeting a lot of new people! I even made a new friend :)
And to top of the day, 10 domino's pizzas were delivered to our room!
