Even though I found it difficult to wake up this morning, I was pretty excited to get started on the airbrushing we'd be doing this week. Nelly, another French tutor, was really nice, and started by showing us a demonstration of darkening the skin, as well as telling us the different types and uses of airbrushes and compressors. After the short demo, we got to have a go ourselves on our partner's for the day. This would have me in stitches for most of the morning...

First thing I did today, was to wake up at 4:30am, with the full intention of taking an hour long journey to Pasadena to watch the football live, with the Los Angeles Tottenham Hostpur Supporter's Club... I hit snooze about 5 times, and decided just to watch it on some online stream I managed to find. I wish I hadn't bothered now.

Especially when I'm at school for 13 hours a day. Still, next week I'm finishing at 4 everyday, so I might actually get some other stuff done in and around LA. Today was very easy in comparison to the past few days where we were given a demo on a typical bridal make-up, w...

Having removed as much of yesterday's glitter last night as possible, I struggled to wake up today, but made it to school nonetheless. Most of today was spent learning about the beauty industry, and the best ways of becoming employed, including the do's and do not's of working as a professional make-up artist. There was also a demonstration of a typical look for this coming Fall (Autumn)/Winter. I was working with Jennifer, who actually let me go first today. M...
