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...

I was kind of dreading today, as the stage makeup was going to be unbearable, over the top and down-right embarrasing. Still, I thought I'd just sit throught it and endure whatever the 2 hour long application would be. I'd be told by Alex the previous day, that I'd be some kind of fairy, though I've been feeling like some kind of 'fairy' for the past 2 weeks.

As you can see from the photo, Alan has pretty much dissappeared. It...

After a demonstration of the kind of make-up used in TV, we had to replicate t...

Still woke up early today. Think I'll have to get used to this new routine. Thought it best to go shopping first, as all the food I have is starting to turn, and I was starving. It's just not the easiest to walk 20 mins to the supermarket whilst bearing a mild hangover, in the blistering heat. Popped to the pharmacy-come-general store first and made Jodie buy me some make-up primer I've had to ponce all week, and some women's magazines I needed for homework; I c...
