Some of you may already know this but this year I was accepted onto Performing Arts Level 2 course at College. I have wanted to do this course for a long time but had lots of ups and downs trying to get accepted onto a course I really wanted to do due to my disability but I’ve finally done it and I’m enjoying every minute of it!

Edinburgh Fringe Festival

This year I went on tour with The Theatre Shed with our production of CapeAbility I got to perform at Brighton Fringe and Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It was an amazing experience full of lots of memories I will cherish forever. I can’t wait to go on tour again in 2021.

This year I started doing Dressage competitions online with Dressage Anywhere. I competed with Billy and he has been amazing I had such a good time competing with him. I have also enjoyed helping to train him so that more riders have the joy of riding with him. He is such a star!

Earlier this year I went on a Vlogging workshop with National RDA in London and learnt all about the Art of Vlogging run by The Media Trust. I then entered a short YouTube Video I made about the RDA into the vlogging competition. I made it to the semi finals and got to go to London for the day to learn more about YouTube and vlogging as well as meeting more young creatives and having talks with well known YouTubers.

Makeup Model At Iver Makeup Academy

life

Yesterday I went back to the Iver Makeup Academy to do some more makeup modelling for some of their students. During the day the students had to do two different makeup looks on two different models.

The workshop for the day was creating looks using individual lashes one glam look and a look with a good base to the skin.

The Glam Look

In the morning for the first look I worked with a MUA student called Mary. She created this pink and red toned makeup look on me. She used a mixture of different pink, red and purple based eyeshadows on my eyes and then add a very light pinky red toned lipstick to my lips. To begin with the lips were too red so she stripped the colour back by taking some of the lipstick colour off so it wasn’t over powering and distracting from my eye makeup. Then she worked on blending my eyeshadow to create a more smokey eye. She gave me a more defined eye by using a black eyeliner and adding some individual lashes. Then applying mascara to my lashes.

Good Base To The Skin Look

In the afternoon I worked with a student called Amy. She created a different look by focusing on getting a good look and coverage to my skin but also adding some glam to the look as well.When doing my foundation Amy used a variety of different shades using MAC products. To help make my foundation look less “cakey” she used different beauty blenders to work the product into my skin as well as using just some slightly damp beauty blenders too. For my eyes she used green and brown tones of eyeshadow and also added a sparkly green eye shadow into the eye as well. She worked different mascaras on top of all my lashes to make them stand out. For the lips she used a pale skin pink toned lipliner and a natural coloured lip stick.

I really enjoyed my day and can’t wait to go back and model agin very soon!
