Blackwater,Surrey

Summary

I am a qualified Make-Up Artist, and have recently graduated from Brushstroke Makeup Academy, where I was awarded a Double Distinction, Double Star. My enthusiasm for this industry is limitless, and I'm keen to refine my skills with every opportunity. I have been working in a busy airport cafe whilst I completed my studies. This has provided me with valuable customer service experiences, and lead to a promotion of weekend supervisor. My passion lies with the beauty industry particularly make up artistry and lash extensions, which is why I am now looking for a full time role within the industry. I am confident to work on solo projects as well as working as part of a team. I have exceptional communication skills that complement my reliable nature, and I have excellent time management skills.
