Wow, it's been so long since I've written anything, I'm so sorry for that. It' just everything has been so hectic at the moment and I haven't had any time to think. Let me explain to you what I've been up to.
So, I went to Manchester in February for an interview at a media makeup school... I got in. I know I'm saying this very casual, I honestly don't think it's sank in yet. I probably won't believe it until I move into my new accommodation and start my first day. All in good time, it's going quick enough without saying things like that. So yeah, that was very exciting and the path to my future continues to pave it'self. Wow, that was poetic. Anyway, I'm going off topic. After that not much happened, until we started getting lots of people asking us to do makeup for them.
My friend who is studying photography asked me if I could do some face painting for him so he could take some pictures and in return he would film it and give me the pictures he took. I agreed and this is the result of our work, click here to watch the video. It took over 2 hours to complete the look. I'll add a photo here;
I'll leave the link to my friends facebook page here. There you will find loads of amazing pictures. (obviously) But to all seriousness, he's helped me and my college out loads.
Back to the story, then we were invited to take part in Nottingham's 48 hours of fashion which was part of fashion week. It was so exciting, for the first day I had my nails done (which made me feel super fancy) and then I'm pretty sure I painted over 20 small human faces and then airbrushed a beautiful girl's face. It was so much fun, the public got to have a full makeover, hair, nails, makeup and then got to have a professional photo shoot.
For the second day of the 48 hours of fashion, I was roped into being a model as one of the fashion models hadn't turned up. I had already done the makeup for one of the other fashion students in a sort of 18th century style, she looked amazing. I then went on to do my own makeup and my friends did my hair for me. here's a picture of that; Guess which one's me hahah.

We looked wicked!!!!! The public got to have their photo taken with us, it was weird being the other side of the camera, even though I do Youtube videos. I've never really had my photo taken in a professional kind of way.
After the two days were over I was absolutely knackered, but I only had one day of rest because the day after that we had to go to the Albert Hall in Nottingham to do the makeup for a Bollywood inspired fashion show, it was called Kangna. We made up at least 6 girls each and some of the other makeup artists had to make over the boys aswell. But by the end of it they look bloody fantastic. They had their outfits on and their hair done, they looked stunning. This is one of the girls I did.

This finished at around 7 pm, by this time I was ready to drop!!! Since then I've had a fair amount of people asking me to do their makeup, on the 28th of March I'll be partaking in another fashion show. But hey, I'm not complaining, it's getting me prepared for when the hard stuff comes in later life, when I'm doing the makeup for some movie (which will obviously be up for an Oscar) and has huge celebs participating. I can't wait.
Other then that the other stuff I have to tell you is far less exciting after reading all that I've just written... I've recently had my hair dyed, purple and brown. And had my nose pierced again, but on the other side. I'm getting weirder. Just warning you, you heard it here first!!!

OH, I almost forgot, I'm on instagram now, yay I'm becoming mainstream. you should all follow me and see how much crap I post. Anyway, it's currently 2.13 am and I'm super tired from doing nothing today. Although I did cook some healthy food, which is weird because that never happens.... Hopefully next time it won't be as long as it was this time round.
I love you all very muchly, thanks for reading and I hope you'll be here for the next one.
See you next time
Love Nadia xx
