I'm bursting with excitement to share some incredible news with all of you!
This past Sunday at the English Makeup Awards, I achieved a feat that feels truly extraordinary – I won the prestigious award of Freelance Makeup Artist of the Year (North West) for the second time! This victory holds even more significance because it marks a back-to-back win for me in this category, having first received the honor in 2018. The feeling of gratitude and joy overflows as I reflect on this journey. To be recognised by my peers in such a competitive field not once, but twice is an absolute honour.
This wouldn't have been possible without the unwavering support of each and every one of my clients who have voted for me. You're trust, nominations, and constant encouragement have been the wind beneath my wings, propelling me forward with each stroke of my brush.
Winning this award once again validates the passion I pour into my craft. For me, makeup artistry is more than just applying makeup, it's a transformative tool for storytelling, empowerment, and celebrating individual beauty. Witnessing the confidence blossom on my clients' faces is the most rewarding experience that I could ever ask for.
This recognition is a testament to the countless hours of practice, continuous learning, and the unwavering dedication I've poured into my craft. It also serves as a powerful reminder that with passion, perseverance, and your incredible support, dreams can be achieved, and even surpassed.
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
