Final Shoot Photos!

Face chart - planning for my final makeup look.

Last month I posted up about my time at Davinia Fermi's Makeup Academy, having done a 5 week intense makeup course in TV, Film and Theatre Makeup and Hair, which you can read all about *here!*

On the last day of the course we had a model come in so we could showcase what we'd learnt and how far our makeup skills had come since the start of the course. Included in the last day of the course was a professional photographer, so we could get the best start to building our new portfolio for potential clients. I have now got my photos back from Roger Charles Photography and I am incredibly happy with them. My lovely model Poppy looks beautiful and I'm really pleased with the makeup and hair that I manages to create on the day! Obviously I didn't just rock up in the morning and improvise, we'd been planning our looks in the final week, as well as having lessons on different makeup looks each day and we had the day before to practise, so that we felt more confident with our designs for the final day. I was sent four photos in total from the photographer, but the two below are my favourite.

I have now set up a facebook page, 'Emily Eva Alice' which I'm using as a blogger and makeup artist page, so feel free to head over, check it out and give it a 'like' if you fancy! Emily Eva Alice

Roo Beauty - Zebra Tool Bag

This Zebra Tool Bag from Roo Beauty is everything you could want in a makeup bag! It is the perfect size, it's not too big and not too bulky, so if you have to travel for makeup work or appointments, you're not going to be knocking everybody out on the train! I have a lot of makeup and this bag actually fits it all in, as well as my straighteners and multiple eye shadow palettes, so I have no problem in saying that your kit will fit in comfortably, so let's have a look at the details...

The main compartment will fit in full sized shampoo or conditioner bottles, moisturisers, toners, cleansers or brush cleaners. It will also accommodate a hairdryer, hair straighteners or hair curlers, as well as large makeup palettes or multiple brush tubes. Then there are all the other concealed zip compartments and added pockets. Each side of the bag has a small zip pocket, which you could put in mascaras, glitter dust pots, eyelash glue or eyelashes. The front of the bag has a concealed zip pocket and a smaller zip pocket on top of that. The bigger of these pockets you could fit in small eye shadow palettes and the smaller, you could fit in eyelashes or primers like I have done. As well as these pockets there is a large concealed zip pocket at the back of the bag which could fit in scissors, combs or a paddle brush. Then there are the little storage sections included inside the main compartment. In these you could put small brushes, scissors or combs, lipsticks, lip glosses or even nail art tools. The whole bag itself is made from a wipe clean material, so you can keep it nice and clean and it also comes with an over the shoulder carry strap. Whether you're a makeup artist, a hair stylist or just someone with a passion for either and a large collection of makeup/ equipment you like to travel with, this is the bag for you!
I love the fact that it has a bold, funky zebra print pattern, (also available in leopard print) and all the compartments mean you can fit in everything you need! You won't be disappointed! (That is unless you're the sort of person who carries round everything including the kitchen sink... that definitely won't fit... sorry!)

If you fancy purchasing this bag, you can do so from the Roo Beauty site *here* for £34.99 or if you'd prefer the leopard print version, you can get that *here!*

You can visit the Roo Beauty site *here* which I would definitely recommend as they sell pretty much everything for your beauty storage needs, ranging from Beauty Trolleys to Nail Polish Storage. I will definitely be visiting their site again in the future.
