Today St Peters Primary School was so kind to invited me to their school council assembly. Attending this today give me a real insight into how we inspire our younger generation with the actions we take. I had young boys and girls as young as P4 wanting on be like me when they grow up, looking up to me and my business. I was so lucky to meet and get some much love and hugs for all of these amazing little humans! Remember believe and you will achieve! G 🖤

"We are all the same no matter what age" Today a lady walked past my class, popped her head in and asked a simple question... "I've got a heart condition which makes my nose area get dark pigmentation, especially in the cold. Is there anything I can do?" I asked her to come into the class, sat her own my seat, placed a mirror in her hand and in a few simple steps with a concealer and a makeup brush, I changed the expression on this fabulous 85 year old woman's face. She left my class today with a huge smile, as well as 2 products that I know that will be used daily! No matter what age we all have the same mind and same heart!❤️🖤- Feel Good - Look Good - Inspire G x

My "Motivation & Makeup Workshop" is being held in Derry this week in partnership with the fab people at "RCD" & "International Fund For Ireland" My mission is to inspiring young people with the help of makeup. Everyone who attends my classes knows that the makeup section is only a small fraction, I want to build confidence in every single person that sits on my chairs, I want them feeling like anything is possible with no barriers, I want them to spread this positivity to everyone they meet along their journey of life. Life is to short to be anything but happy, positive and inspiring!! Today's first step for these young people is the best step in the right direction. G 🖤

Tips For Makeup Artists Starting Out In The Best Industry In The World...

4 Years Ago 💭

One of the best Makeup Designer gigs of my career! 6 weeks in Ibiza as Head of Makeup for Ibiza Undead.

A zombie film set on the streets of Ibiza, we seen some real life zombies on this set.... Memories of my makeup journey makes me smile and see how far I've come in 12 years!

For anyone starting out in this fab industry, my words of advise are:

1: Never say no to any job even if it isn't paid! Experience is key!!! I done so much work for year and years for zero pennies.... it pays off!

2: Decide what sector of the industry you want to work in. The makeup world is huge, I dipped my toe in everything till I found where my passion lay.

3: Share your experiences with other makeup artists. Sometimes people are afraid to recommend other artists for work they can't do encase they lose a client, we are a family of creative talent, we help, guide and encourage each other there is enough work for all of us..... 🖤

Let's inspire each other, work hard & HAVE FUN ALONG THE WAY......G 💋💋
