Aspiring Model Ms Shenise is Caught and question by Fashion Police

1) Please tell us who you are and what you do for those not familiar with you?

My name is Shenise Bennett and I’m aspiring Model whose dreams and aspirations are streamed towards High Street fashion and Editorial Modeling.

2)What 2 words best describe you as a person?

Hmmm, I think that I would have to go with VIBRANT and CARING because no matter what I do in life, I always like to help those who strive for greatness and in doing so I have a bubby and outgoing personality.

3)What are 3 things you think makes a good model?

There are many qualities which I feel make a good model, but seen as you’ve only asked me for 3, then I would have to go with:

DEDICATION – Modeling isn’t for everyone and therefore if you feel you have what it take you MUST be committed to it 100% as a lot of time, effort and energy is put into all aspects of this career.

CREATIVITY- You must be a person that is willing to ‘think outside the box’ and be versatile with your looks, personality and mentality.  You have to be able to bring something else other than a pretty face to the industry, because looking the ‘same’ as everyone else isn’t going to get you noticed.

PATIENCE- Now this is a skill that not many people are able to adapt to, but modeling can be a very demanding and strenuous job, therefore if you don’t have it in you to be understanding and accommodating all round then you may find it to be quite tedious at times.

4)Name one thing you just can’t leave your home without?

*Giggles* that’s an easy one my hair brush.  I don’t know what it is but I have this thing about my hair and the need for it to look good (most of the time).  For me, if my hair doesn’t look good then the rest of me feels out of place.  Some people may call it vanity but I call it taking pride in your appearance.

5) What are your best assets and why?

Wow, now this is a hard one.  From what I’ve been told my ‘Eyes’ stand out to a lot of people as they are quite big *giggles* I don’t know if I would say it’s a good thing, but I must admit that whenever I have photo shoots make-up artists and photographers like to do close up shots and pay close attention to this part of my body.  Another good asset for me would be my build *shy face* the only reason why I say this is because, in this industry the majority of models have strict eating diets and régimes, whereas I have a really fast metabolism which allows me to pretty much eat all the foods I like without having to worry about gaining lots of weight.   I do exercise regularly though, because I feel it’s important to maintain a healthy living regardless of my chosen career.

6)Are you in a relationship/single/married/divorced?

Are you sure you’re allowed to ask this question *giggles*?  I’m married to my career and happily single as far as the rest of my life is concerned.

7) What are a few things that attract you to a person?

 Well if you mean in general then I would have to say a person that is outgoing, fun, bubbly, down to earth, caring and honest.  But if you mean in terms of a partner then I would have to say I like men who are all of the above plus loyal, hard-working, good sense of humor, ambitious, affectionate and family orientated.

8)What would you like most a man in boxers.........bikini briefs.........or a thong?

*Giggles* you really are the fashion POLICE aren’t you.  This question is so personal, but I’m an honest person so give me a man in BOXERS anytime!

9)What do you think of Fashion Police News Blog?

I think it’s one of the most informative and reliable resources for all models, make-up artists, photographers and scouts around.

10)What make up are you wearing now?

How do you know I’m wearing any *giggles*. I’m wearing MAC foundation, Rimmel Longer Lashes Mascara, Sleek Eye liner and Carmex lip therapy.

11)What music brings you to the dance floor to shake your booty?

I thought you’d never ask *smiles* I don’t have one particular type of music that gets me moving but I’m a true West Indian girl through and through so Soca/Calypso and Reggae always gets me moving.  But I’m a 80s baby so all types of music from the 80’s & 90’s is guaranteed to get my booty shaking!

12)If you had to stay home on valentines with your lover what would you cook and what would you wear?

*Massive burst of laughter* Are you guys planning on finding me my ‘perfect’ man *smiles*. Hmmm, again seen as I’m of West Indian descent I would have to go with Curry Chicken (Trinidadian style) with white Basmati Rice and a nice glass of Strawberry syrup with Champagne.   Dessert would be ME *blushing much* and so far as clothes go, what is it they say sometimes ‘Less is More’!

13)What do you love most and hate when dancing with a man?

Hmmm love most is a man that can take control and knows what he’s doing on the dance floor.  Hate most, the exact opposite, a man who asks for a dance but has no rhythm whatsoever *giggles* it’s so off putting and makes me feel like I have two left feet!

14)If you had 3 tickets to attend any event in the world which 3 events would you attend?

This is a tricky one. Ok so the 1^st ticket I would want to be backstage passes to see Beyoncé and Jay Z, Beyoncé for her musical talents and positive influences she gives to her fans.  Jay Z, again for his music but mainly for his passion in the fashion industry. The 2^nd ticket would be to attend a fashion show which would give me access to designers and models such as Russell Simmons, Kimora Lee Simmons, Tyra Banks, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Vera Wang and Gucci. And last but by no means least my 3^rd ticket would be to attend a celebrity seminar with all the top designers, fashion magazines, editors and models so that I could gain a better understanding and knowledge on what’s makes you successful and respected in such a high profile and demanding industry.

15)What do you think of men who teach women to walk the runway?

I’m not sexist and therefore whether you’re male or female I commend anyone who is willing to share their time and educate models on how to improve their walk on the runway.  I actually think that some men walk better than women and so for someone like myself who is trying to progress, I greatly appreciate and respect their time.

16)What's the worse chat up line a guy ever said to you?

I don’t even know where to begin, I’ve heard that many cheesy lines before that I tend to forget the ones which I know isn’t going to win me over.  But one in particular that I remember a guy saying to me is ‘If I could rewrite the alphabet I’d put U and I together’ *giggles* absolutely hilarious.  Really men, this isn’t something that a woman like me would ever take seriously *covers eyes*.

17)There are so many models out there what makes you different?

This for me would have to be the most important question of all.  I think that I would have to say that I’m a model who is not only wanting to be successful but for me it’s about giving back to others who aspire for the same things as me, but for whatever reasons have had setbacks.  Not only am I passionate and committed to my career, but my goals go beyond fame and fortune, I want to be able to show everyone that modeling is just as important as being a doctor/teacher/lawyer because at the end of the day it’s a career that once achieved can help to inspire and motive others.  I’m a person that sees beauty in everyone no matter your colour or creed and therefore I want to be able to bring a mixture of male, female, black, white, Asian, tall and short aspiring models into the industry.

18)If you had the chance to do a photo shoot with any 2 persons who would you choose and why?

Oh wow, another good question. But again, this is something I’ve dreamed about for a very long time. My two chosen people would be Tyra Banks because of her flawless beauty inside and out, not to mention her experience, knowledge and wisdom throughout the fashion industry.  And my second person would be *drum roll* Amber Rose, the reason why I would chose Amber is because I’ve learnt from her that looking different can be very rewarding.  She changed up her look entirely by going from long hair to short and then blonde,  and in my opinion it’s one of the best decisions she could have ever done as it’s given her, her own identity which is greatly respected by many.  For me she is a perfect example of why being unique is fashionably cool.

19)Who are your 5 closes friends you love so much?

Awww I thought you’d never ask *giggles*. My BEST friend Tejay Montague who is a female Vocal Artist from Barbados, she has been given the title BEST for a reason and that’s because any advice, criticism and lessons learnt have always taught me well and 9/10 been correct. Then I would have to say my friend Taree, she’s a friend that I would do anything for and love more than you know. My cousin and friend Nadine and Gemma, who has always been supportive and there for me throughout thick and thin. Louise who is another friend I met in Barbados only last year but has been like an absolute rock to me, love her bad! And finally but certainly no love lost here my friend Kalisha who I’ve known for the past 5 years (I think) and I don’t see regularly but when we do it’s always like we’ve never been apart. I know that’s six but I have that many people who I consider to be close friends that I can’t just choose my top 5!

20)What is one thing people say about you that is so not true that you would love to address?

Hmmm, well I would hope not a lot but I suppose if I’m honest I’ve been accused of having more time/caring for my friends more than family which is NOT true.  I’m a very friendly person that comes from a large family.  I’m the eldest Grandchild, Niece, Daughter and to my immediate family Cousin which basically means I’ve not had anyone my age group in my family that I’ve been able to have girly talks with etc.  I find it easier to speak with friends because most things I talk about requires me to set an example to the youngsters in my family.  Added to that, there are lots of strong women in my family, my mother being one, and I’m a person that is quite in touch with my feelings and emotions and so I often turn to friends who know how to guide me through certain situations.  I love my family more than words care to express, if it wasn’t for my family I wouldn’t be the person I am today and so I would just like to make it known that Family for me will ALWAYS be a priority in everything I do, but at the same time my close friends will ALWAYS be a part of me.

21)If you had to attend a red carpet event which designer would you wear and why?

Hmmm, difficult decision but I would have to go for an Evening Gown designed by Jovani.  I think it’s more than apparent that the gowns designed are classy, elegant and ALWAYS eye catching. Right up my street!

22) Any last words to our readers?

Of course! Thank you for taking the time to get to know me.  I hope that I’ve given you a greater insight of me as a person and my aspiring career choice?  To anyone out there who wants to pursue a career within fashion or Arts & Craft Industry then please just keep on working hard, never give up on your dreams, even if you do stumble across a few hurdles in life.  They are there for you to learn from and in doing so you will come to realize that anything in life worth having is definitely worth fighting for.  Should you wish to contact me then please follow me on twitter @clarrissaimodel and add me on facebook – Shenise Bennett.

Thank you to the Fashion Police for your time and interrogation *giggles* as you can tell I’ve had great pleasure in answering all of your questions, and I can quite safely say that for the first time in my life I’ve been cautioned by the (Fashion)Police but for all the right reasons!  Thank you once again and I wish you all the best for the future

I am a well grounded individual, both religiously and socially as far as morals & values are concerned.

5)Describe in your own word what true beauty is?

  - a girl who will throw herself at a guy without him showing any

     efforts to gain her interest

  

11)If there were 2 pageants you could enter which 2 would they be and why?

1) Miss Universe : due to the fact that it creates a platform that allows the winner

to work with the less fortunate across the globe and that in itself is an 'award' in my opinion.

2) Miss Humanity International :because it allows contestants to highlight humanitarian

issues affecting their respective countries. A great way to educate the world about issues

affecting humanity.

12)Tell us about the modelling on your island?

Modelling on my island is in its initial stages of development and needs a lot

of improvement. Standards need to be set and persons need to start viewing

it for what it can be. Because I believe that the Caribbean  has a lot of talent where

models are concerned.

13)If there would be one person you would love to meet who would it be and why?

Tyra Banks. I watch tyra give young women like me a chance to showcase their abilities on ANTM and

18)What is one thing people say about you that is not true that you would love to address

Some people usually give me a first look & without knowing who I am, come to the conclusion that I am 

"Conceited" but if there is anything I am is the total opposite. I am confident in my abilities and thankful

for my blessings.

19)Any last words to our many blog readers?

Thank you for reading and supporting such a medium. In anything you wish to pursue set 

your mind to know that no matter how close you are to loosing, winning is still an option. Also

that life is filled with opposites vital to create balance. So when you're sad, smile because it can only

Ms" BATTLE OF THE RUNWAY"2011 Winner Ms Kyomi speaks to the Police

1)Please tell us who you are what you do for those not familiar with you?

My name is Kyomi Thompson A.K.A "Kyomi Kouture" I am a National Diploma college graduate in Fashion and Clothing. Now I have finished my college studies I work free lance designing and making clothes for buyers, along side studying Garment Technology privately to improve my skills; because you can never learn too much!
I also model part time taking part in various photo shoots and exciting fashion shows, modelling my own creations when I get the chance to.

2)Describe yourself in 3 words?

Creative, ambitious and headstrong ;-)

3)When not working what do you enjoy doing?

Laughing, spending time with family, designing new collections, and going on holiday. 

4)If you had to grade yourself for 1 to 100 on your modelling walk how much would you give your self?

99...always room for improvement!

5)What made you compete in Ms Battle of the runway 2011?

A make up artist I know fowarded me the details because she thought I may be interested. I thought that it would open up new doors for me, good opportunity for me to network , improve my walk and obviously to win the £500 prize. 

6)Did you think you was going to win after seeing all those fierce girls?

definately NOT, it was so funny because just before the show I was talking to some lady telling her how much in doubt I was of winning and because I had so many friends and family attending the show on the night I really wanted to make them proud in winning. I had loads of competition.

7)Have many doors open for you since you won?explaine

To be honest no. The one thing it had done though, it gave me loads of motivation and enthusiasm to enter in  more competitions and apply for different modelling agencys

8)What do you think of the Fashion Police News Blog?

Fantastic, always alive and buzzing with new hot topics.

9)Who are some of the people who showed you how to walk?

No one really I just learnt by watching a lot of modelling programmes like: America's/Britain's Next Top Model, Gok's Fashion, and youtube I like to watch people walk and try to take notes.

10)Tell us your expereience in Battle of the runway catwalk contest 2011?

I learnt a lot from Battle Of The Runway, I made new friends who pointed me in different directions to do with fashion shows and I learned how important it is to be confident on the runway. The downfall of the competition was that I was promised a cash prize of "£500" and I never got it. This has made be even more so vidulant in sniffing out Rats in the industry when applying for more modelling jobs and competitions in the future. I know Maxine made money on the night as she got all of the ticket money from the show, every contendant had to pay £10 for our pictures to be taken plus she never had to pay for make up artists and helpers back stage as they were all voluntery. considering out of all the contestants I brought the most people to the show so with them buying tickets I basically put the money in to Maxines pocket. I never thought Maxine Grifiths would turn out to be such a fraud and rob a 19 year old girl in her hard earned cash prize, and that she has left me but no other choice of having to take her to court to get my prize.

11)What advice do you have for any girl looking to compete and take your crown in 2012

Well for a start I will not be taking part in any of the crowing of the winner of 2012 Battle Of The Runway. I would say don't waist your time as I wasn't rewarded my prize they just build you up and then once the shows over drop you back down. Through making people aware of what Maxine done to me I have found out from a lot of people that this is the typical nature of Maxine, so I would definatley say to do your research in to her before you decide to enter the competition.

12)If you was to do a photo shoot with 2 people of your choice who would it be and why?

Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks, because I know out of that one photo shoot I could learn loads from them.

13)Which other contest would you like to compete in and why if any?

Top Model Of Colour, because I think they would more appreciate my ethnicity, natural hair and unusual looks.

14)If you was given 3 tickets to attend any event of your choice which 3 would you go to and why?

America's Next Top Model Show, BET Awards and London Fashion Week in Somerset House because it would be a fantastic place to network and I love watching fashion shows for inspiration.

15)What do you think of men who teaches women to walk?

I think they are good teachers because men often exaggerateso the woman can clearly see where they are going wrong or right

16)Describe what true beauty is in your own words?

true beauty truley does come within and I'm not just talking about personality I'm talking you can cover your face and hair with as much chemical based "beauty products"and make up as you like but unless your feeding the inside of your body with the nutritious foods and herbs God blessed the Earth with your body will automatically eject the chemicals through the 1000's of pores in the most largest organ we have our skin far from showing beauty.

17)How did you prepare for the contest?

I used to go to my sisters house a she had a very large hall way, Put a long mirror at the end of the hallway and walked up and down, posing at the end in the mirror as if it was the runway I got my sister to be my critique and just kept on practicing in my heels until I got it perfect, I also was filmed so I could watch myself so I could see where I was going wrong.

18)If you had the chance to walk the runway with 2 people of your choice who would it be and why?

Professor catwalk because hes so fierce :-)

19)If you had to prepare a meal for the fashion police news reporters what would you prepare?

Rice and pees, brown stewed fish and salad on the side.

20)What are your thoughts on women who live with weave 365 days of the year in their heads?

Erm, there heads must itch! lol no obviously its a free country people can wear what they want but I do like to see African and Carribean women wearing there own natural hair and looking good with it because when they have caucasian or Asian weave on there head it does make me wonder why they are not proud of there ethnicity and if they are trying to aspire to look like what they're not.

21)Are you married/single/relationship/divorced

Single

22)What advice do you have for our many readers out there?

If you want something in life  stay head strong and constantly think about it because thoughts turn in to feelings, feelings turn in to actions and actions lead to results! Nothings impossible if you put your mind to it.

Hmm, interesting, one of the tickets would be to London Fashion Week (front row) because I love fashion and it would be great to sit back, chill and take notes for my review. The second ticket would to the theatre to watch the Lion King! I am yet to watch it, having watched "Cats" a few years ago, I know I will LOVE the "Lion King" production. The third ticket would be to any established talk show currently airing on mainstream TV. I am working on my own "On The Couch With Rosemary" so that would be for researching and self eductation purposes.

Not yet, I am God's work in progress. My goal is to be like a Proverbs Woman; A strong, dignified, multitalented, caring woman who is an individual in her own right. This woman has money to invest, servants to look after and real estate to manage. She is her husband’s partner, and she is completely trusted with the responsibility for their lands, property and goods. She has the business skills to buy and sell in the market, along with the heartfelt sensitivity and compassion to care for and fulfill the needs of people who are less fortunate. Cheerfully and energetically she tackles the challenges each day brings. Her husband and children love and respect her for her kind, generous and caring nature. But with all her responsibilities, first and foremost, she looks to God. Her primary concern is God’s will in her life. She is a woman after God’s own heart.

I loved both pageants. For Miss World; it was the year Lionel Richie performed. He had the chance of spending extra ttime with 10 beauties out of the 104 contestants, I was one of the chosen 10. Sharing a conversation with him and then singing and dancing along to "you are once, twice, three time a lady" with him on stage was fab! For Miss Universe, it was meeting and shaking hands with Mr Trump himself. He is one of my inspirations for starting my parent company; Swanilenga Group Ltd.

18) What are your thoughts on women who never leave their hair rest, they always have weave?

Its their personal choice, if it makes them feel great / complete, all the best to them. For me, I love working with and maintaining my own hair whatever the length / texture.

Most Sought After Make Up Artist"Hotlips" Confess to the Police

1)For those who are not familiar with you who are you and what do you do?

1) My name is Kristy Prince a.k.a Hotlips I'm a make up artist/hairstylist
I'm freelance so work with many types of clientele from brides to music artists actors/actresses, celebrities, fashion designers, models, charitable organisations, hair companies creating tailor made make up & hair designs according to their requirements. I also do editorial for magazine & websites, l am brand ambassador for make up companies.    2)There are so many make up artist out there what makes you different? I work with such a diverse and mixed clientele...from celebrities to young girls going to a prom each one of my clients are as equally important to me regardless of their status. I also do hair & nails and some beauty treatments such as eyebrow shaping, eye lash tints, facials, this can be especially beneficial to my clients who have hectic schedules...previously I was a social worker and have a instinct if a client has any insecurities regarding their image....I put my clients at total ease, sometimes doing their hair or make up is like a mini counselling session as they open up about personal & sensitive issues, I would say that I have an advantage on other artists which I have gained in both of these careers. 

3)What word best describe you?
3)Passionate

4)What is one thing you just can't leave the house without
4)My must have essential is a great lip balm with an spf to protect the delicate skin on the lips from winter thru to fall, EVERYONE should carry one!

5)What are your 4 tips for our ladies when shopping for make up?

5) 1. If possible take a friend along to give you a totally honest opinion
2.Go without any make up...I. know for some ladies that is a huge request but they will get amazing results if the make up artist has a blank canvass to work from....if you are not having a make over its best if your skin is just cleansed & prepared so you can apply the base along the jaw line to ensure it blends into the neck.
3.When buying foundation always check results in natural daylight as stores tend to have extremely bright lighting that can give a false initial impression....nothing worse than splashing out on a pricey item only to regret it later because its the wrong shade.
4.The best natural asset we have are our smiles and as not all woman want to wear make up, looking after your skin and teeth and hair will ensure you have a natural radiance.

6)If you was not a make up artist what would you be doing?

6) I think I would be a youth advisor or mentor as many young people for whatever reasons don't have positive role models. Our youth are the future so need guidance, support and encouragement.

7)What music would make you run to the dance floor to shake that booty?
7) I love' I heard you say' by Dennis Ferrer but essentially anything with a great beat and thumping bass line!

8)Do you think your a true representation of a today's woman if yes/no why?

8) I'm definitely a true representation of today's woman I am independent ambitious aspirational and confident. Confidence is a must in my industry as I work with so many exceptionally beautiful woman...if you are a person that is easily intimated it gives others the opportunity to find fault...I go into a room believing I'm as good as anyone regardless of where their from or who they are....its so important to have self belief! 
9)Name 2 make up artist in the uk you look up to if any?

9) I look up to many make up artists but the 2 that I admire greatly are Sharon Dowsett who I actually had the pleasure of working with at the 'FASHION ROCKS' event at the Royal Albert hall and Pat McGrath who is next on my hit list....so Pat if your reading this holla lol. 
10)Are you single/married/relationship? 10) I'm currently single although I would say not necessarily by choice....it seems to me that committed relationships are like some 'Mission Impossible' example Kim Kadashain marriage lasted 72 days & Sinead O'Connor lasted 16 days! I have a lot of admirers which is a boost but I am a little bit fussy lol if a guy does something I don't like especially on the 1st date his toast ha ha you only get one chance to make an impression! Maybe this is the year I'll find my Prince who knows. 
11)What are you 4 fashion tips you live by
11) 1. My fashion tips I live by are find a style that suits your body shape and stick with it
2.Just because its in 'Fashion' does not mean you have to wear it! Certain people can get away with wearing really outrageous clothes and they look so on point, others try it and get it so wrong! Remember the Fashion police are always watching!
3. Timeless key pieces are essential such as a great fitting pair of Jeans the LBD for ladies and a good fitting suit for a man, a well tailored Jacket can make even a simple outfit look classy.
4. Always make sure you have great accessories as these complete an outfit, shows jewellery and a fab handbag! 
12)Where do you get your inspiration from?
12) My inspiration comes from everywhere I studied art photography & interior design before finding my niche in make up and hair. I trained as a hairdresser when I left school and decided to take it to the next level by doing make up as well...I see inspiration in everyday life, movies other make up artists & creative people such as the designers and also in the faces of people I work on. 
13)If you was granted to pick 3 people of your choice on who you would do their make up who would you choose? 
13)I have been really blessed & had the opportunity to do make up & hair on some amazing people, 3 that come to mind instantly are Thandie Newton, Charlize Theron and Rihanna I think they are stunning and it would be a dream come true for me. 
14)When not working what do you enjoy doing
14) I love catching up with friends & family, I also love cooking and entertaining you cannot beat good food and great company....I like reading and travelling I have been fortunate enough in my career to visit the USA, Caribbean, Africa as well as Europe. I love chilling with a good book or a dvd.
15)What do you think of the Fashion Police News Blog?
15) I am so impressed with the blog and of course I absolutely love Catwalk Professor a.k.a Mr. Fierce its a great platform to learn about others in the industry! There are so many talented & hard working people behind the screens in the fashion, beauty, film & tv, video ,music industry that are unsung heroes, it takes one hell of a lot of planning to put on an event! So this blog is informative & let's us find out about who these wonderful people are and what their roles are. 
16)What do you admire most of a man?
16) I must admit I'm a bit old fashion when it comes to Men I like gentlemen who know how to treat a lady and make her feel special, manners go a very long way and carry you anywhere in the world. Integrity are also very important qualities as well as loyalty.
17)If you had to choose from these 3 which one would you choose  (1)policeman in uniform(2)construction worker(3)business man?and why
17) This is a no brainer no.3 I love a man in a suit! So sexy and suave and I would be charmed by good manners because most guys I know that wear suits as a staple are charming. 
18)If anyone from the other side of the world would like to view your work how can they do so?
18) They can see my work and on line bio at www.themostwantedtalent.com I work with them on lots of projects and Leyah the owner has loads of contacts in fashion music video & photography. I upload work to my Facebook Kristy Prince Mua or they can follow me on twitter @PRINCESSHOTLIPZ 
19)If you was given 3 tickets to attend any 3 events in the uk which 3 would you go to ?
19) This is a tricky question as there are so many events in UK every year but as I love music first choice is 1. the MOBOs
2. The Baftas 3. British hairdresser of the year 
20)Tell us about your name HOTLIPS? 
20) I was given that nickname back in school by my sweet heart after our 1st kiss he said" your lips are hot I'm gonna call you Hotlips"....at that time I was focused on training as a hairdresser so I only really started to use it when I branched out and became Freelance, I wanted a name people would remember as I love lips I printed my 1st business cards with my Lips as the logo, I also have my lips tattooed on my right shoulder...

21)Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
21) I want to continue making people look beautiful and feel special, I want to be able to inspire others as well as teaching aspiring mua's and women how to apply the perfect make up for all occasions. I would even consider launching a capsule range of lip care. I'm in talks with a friend who is a comedian/presenter about online tutorials with a twist as people love my personality and always say I should be in comedy so that's something I'm considering. 
22)What advice you have for anyone wanting to be a make up artist?
22) The best advice I can give is to any aspiring muas is practise on friends to perfect your technique and to learn about different face and eye shapes, attending a course is also great to learn the basics, although they can be really expensive privately local colleges do courses for 16 and up, reading books is an invaluable resource two books I swear by are Fine Beauty by Sam Fine and the Bobbi Brown I think they give great step by step advice . If you can get a job on a make up counter that is a great way to stock your kit and work on clients to build up confidence. If you feel its what you really want to do seek out established muas and ask to assist them this is a great way to make contacts and will get you credited work for your portfolio.
