I'm a Dublin based MUA who qualified in 2008 with a CIBTAC diploma in media makeup. Prior to this I attended an intensive makeup course which helped me to gain great product knowledge and insight into the makeup world thus enticing me to study makeup further. To date I have been collorborating with many photographers and attended several Strobist Meets which has allowed me to put my skills into action and work with many passionate and creative people...I have worked on some short films and my work has appeared in the Sun and the Irish Times newspapers..I currently work part-time on a cosmetic counter.

 

I'm currently looking to add beauty and high fashion shots to my portfolio.
