Greasepaint trained(London, England.) 19 years experience. Started in retail cosmetics then freelanced for MUA ranges. Dabbled in print, student films, had a successful wedding and special event makeup business (Mirror Mirror Makeup). This growth became a business partnership and Mirror Mirror Makeup Studio opened in 2002.
In 2005, my husband's job moved us to London, England, where I trained classically in media makeup, airbrush, lite SFX, etc....
Returned to MN late Spring 2008, after 3 amazing years working in London and abroad. I am currently the Evening Instructor at Faces Etc. of MN, Media Makeup School. I do TFPs for the right project and while teaching, enjoy additional opportunities for the students to gain valuable industry experience.
Training and work experience includes the following skillsets:
Airbrush and conventional make up, period makeup, basic f/x, basic hair styling(some period styles.) Experience in fashion, film, print, tv, adverts, bridal, pop promos and theatre.

Thanks for the friend request, Melissa. I move back to MN from Australia the beginning of February and have some potential shoots lined up for when I get back. I could use a MUA for some of those shoots, so keep in touch and let me know what your February/March schedule looks like and hopefully we can collaborate together :)
