Busy As A Bee - Bzzzz....

GOD!!

I don't actually think I've been this busy in my life..
Well, maybe once or twice. Ha.

The past few weeks have went by in a flurry of make up brushes, shoots & some fantastic opportunities.
I've got so much work in the pipeline before Christmas that it's actually quite frightening.
Bring it on I say as it's always better to be busy than twiddling your thumbs.

Last Saturday was a new experience for me as I found myself working on the Music Video Clockwork.
Was a totally new to me as I'm used to shoots but I had a great time.
The team altogether were fantastic & working along side Directors, Producers, Camera Crew etc really gave me an eye opener as to what actually goes on Behind The Scenes.
A lot of hard work & retakes were done to get the video up to the standard that it's needed to be & I can't wait to see the end product. 
I'll be sure to post up on here for you all to have a swatch at too.

I'm looking forward to the next couple of weeks as my diary is filled with new great opportunities for shoots, advertisements & fashion shows. To think that this is my job is insane but it shows me that hard work really does pay off. 

I'm back to juggling my Para-Planning Business, My make up jobs, Being the social nerd that I am, my 5 Dance Classes a week & generally just being myself. 

(Not to mention getting organised for my 2 weeks in Spain for New Year but that's another story)

It's going to be a toughie but I'm sure that with determination & a can of Red Bull close by at all times then I'll manage.

Until next time big blog world,

Look into the future..

Looking into the future, what do you see?

This was the theme for yesterdays shoot.
FUTURISTIC!!

As my alarm rang in my ear at the frightening time of 5am I was up & on the go. Double & triple checking I had everything I needed in my kit I headed off to Larkhall to pick up one of the lovely models that I would be working with that day Miss Charlene Key - I've worked with Charlene previously and she's a lovely girl who I believe will go very far in this industry. I also picked up the hysterical and also amazing hair stylist Lisa Brown. With all 3 of us in the car we headed off for Edinburgh, keeping it mind it was still pitch black from the dreadful Winter mornings we managed to natter along and also have a small jam to my woman THEE ULTIMATE NICKI MINAJ!! The journey only took us 45 mins so as we were an hour early for shooting we decided it was time for breakfast & a recharge of Red Bull.

It was 8:45am and we pulled up to location to be met by the Photographer for the day Siobhan Stewart.
As we all bundled into the studio we got cracking, waiting on our second model Louise Marshall & also our stylist Siobhan began setting up while I got to work on lovely Charlene's face..

We were working on 3 seperate looks for each model & also 3 different hair styles each also.

Here are some behind the scene's photo's to have a look at before the final images are ready..









It was an AWESOME shoot with an AWESOME team who I very much look forward to working with again soon. I can't wait to see the final images.

We wrapped it up at 1:20 & after a team clean up it was time to head back home..
The Red Bull had worn off & we were stuck in a traffic jam, home was on the horizon & with a few of Lisa's truly hysterical childhood stories we were back in Glasgow before we knew it.
A productive day was finished and it was now time to sleep.

Until next time.

LAGGING BEHIND!!

URGH!! Not impressed with myself at all considering I had my blog well under way & it was getting updated as a blog should be & then BAM - I was struck down with being a busy bee & this little sucker got neglected. I do apologise - Mostly to myself!!

Like I said I've been busy busy, working away on a new line of work which has totally thrown me well out of my world of lipsticks & mascara. It's a new challenege & I've officially been in my CEO role for a month exactly & it's going pretty well. I still have LOADS to learn but this my little friends will come with time.

Halloween has obviously just passed & my oh my didn't I enjoy it. Halloween is my FAVOURITE time of year. Personally I believe it beats Christmas but shh..Don't tell anyone else that. I was MAJOR busy on the night of the 29th when everyone was going out. Body painting, face painting, making the world into all sorts of different things for their night ahead. Tired & dying for a bath I clambered home at 9:30pm - Popped a Pro Plus - Had a vodka & was ready to get my Skeleton on. This is what I went as for Halloween. Can you guess where I pulled my inspiration from? See below.

Before I finish off on this massive rant I would just like to say that I am very much looking forward to shooting with Miss Charlene Key again on Friday in Edinburgh for a Futuristic Theme. It's going to be AWESOME!!

Now I shall be off.
Until next time,
Amy xo
