Finally Going Freelance!

Hello again fellow bloggers and lovely followers,

I'm very excited to tell you all that I am now officially working as a freelance makeup artist in my spare time (evenings and weekends) - I'm hoping it will take off soon!

My good friend Olivia Slack (popular fashion blogger - Click here to view The Fashion Diaries!) kindly offered to model for me to help me with building a proper portfolio.

Here are a couple of sneaky previews from our shoot today from my new Instagram page:

Subtle smokey eyes, pink ombre lips, airbrush foundation

Evening smokey eyes with gel eyeliner, nude lips and airbrush foundation

My Instagram username is abbierogersmua - I've only launched it today so there aren't many posts but it would be great if you could swing by and give me a quick 'follow' if you love makeup.

Olivia has also created a gorgeous logo and brand for my upcoming website and business cards which I'm really excited about! If any of you out there need help with something similar go to her blog (link further up the blog!) and send her a message - she's a creative genius!

I've also been practicing with my Airbase makeup on myself! Quite an unusual sensation - especially with your eyes closed - but well worth the effort. I'm trying hard not to get addicted to it as I don't want to waste all of my product on myself... it's just too good! 

Here's a picture of a recent experiment with my new products from the Professional Beauty 2014 Event in London on Monday 24th February (blog of all my purchases coming soon)

So what do you think? Any freelance artists out there who have any useful advice please comment on my blog - all negative/positive comments welcome!

For anyone in the East Midlands area of the UK that may be in need of a makeover for a special occasion, get in contact using abbierogersmua@outlook.com and I will be happy to send over a price list and discuss looks with you!

Happy blogging folks!
