Personal Statement:

I'm a well presented, organised and enthusiastic applicant. As a freelance MUA I have many years of experience. I’ve worked on editorial shoots with some amazing photographers and as a make up educator I have over five years of experience; I’ve taught in two private makeup schools, at London College of Fashion and at Aylesbury College of FE. I've delivered freelance product and staff training for Smashbox and have published beauty writing online for Beautybay.com. I've also gained valuable experience from being on the shop floor in cosmetics retail sales over the years and love offering the highest level of customer service.
