Who Am I?

I am a beauty enthusiast, someone who loves the feeling and transformation make-up can bring. Hair styling and fashion are also of major interest to me and I have recently embarked on a course to develop my hobby further and take it to a new level where I can ultimately make it my career. This course is a new experience for me as I have never previously studied the art of make-up and hair design before, and the knowledge I have for the subject has been gained through YouTube videos, books, magazines and trial and error! The first project that I am studying is the Elizabethan era which currently I have very little knowledge of, including the make-up and hair and I am excited to learn and explore this era further. My over riding fear for this project is that my vision will not be translated concisely into the final look. I also fear I will overcomplicate it and lose impact. I aspire to create a look that clearly shows inspiration from both the Elizabethan and contemporary era. I am looking forward to learning about the cosmetics the Elizabethans used and trends that were considered beautiful, and reflecting how they differ to today's conceived ideas of beauty.
