5)Tell us how you got started as being a make up artiste to this very day?

It sorta just happened on its own, I was told at a young age that my gift from God is my hands I didn't quite understand it and in my early teens jumping into the fashion scene doing a number of things, I developed and stuck on this particular industry, which some how I am good at given the fact that I was an excellent art student. 

6)What are 4 tips someone should know when buying make up?

Some basic tips would have to be 1. Match your shade of foundation properly 2. Ensure Your products are friendly enough for your skin needs 3. You can be cheap with some products but never with your foundation or powder. 4. Eye primer is your best friend for longer wear of your eye shadows.
7)There are so many others doing what you do what makes you different from all the rest?

I think every artist has a different style while some may be similar everyone has a certain uniqueness from the other. I'm different because I re-brand myself and my skill constantly.

It really depends on the type of red carpet event, but I am going to assume its a very formal event, I would have to say Tom Ford, because I am not the type to be to risky his design style will be perfect, I can still show class, and stand out even though simply dressed. 

9)If you was given 1 ticket to fly anywhere in the world where would you go and why?

I would go to Dubai, its the 3rd richest nation and a beautiful place, the history behind its development is astonishing to me being in a place with such high productivity will be indeed exhilarating and one to appreciate.
