Official job title/ and a description of what you do as part of your job:
Beauty Blogger & Makeup Artist

How long have you been a make up artist? How did you get in to the industry?
I have been playing with makeup since I was 14, but I left to Hollywood to study a little over year ago. The decision was kind of obvious, I was working in finance, but obsessed with beauty! While I was in uni I was modeling, so getting into the industry was quite easy, thankfully!

How would you describe your party style?
FUNK! I love things that stand out, but still have some element of classiness in them! I love bulky jewelry and crazy shoes, with lots of faux fur!

Do you have a signature style that you tend to stick to? And if so, what is it and why?
As much as I like to believe I set my own trends, I love following what comes off the runway!  I am constantly changing my style, but everything still has an hint of me in it and I would say it’s my own personality that comes out. There’s always a dash of color and something bold somewhere in my look!

Who would be on your dream guest list for the party season?
Well, I am kind of a grandma since I am pretty much married to my job, but I would love my family and close friends to be at my party. I have to admit, my friends are without doubt some of the most fabulous people I have ever met and I would love to have a super private but very fancy party with them! Of course if Jay-Z and Beyonce decided to show, I wouldn’t ask them to leave!

What’s your top tip for surviving the party season?
I do my best to make it to as many parties and events as possible! Being extremely busy makes it very tough at times. For me, my most important accessory for looking perfectly refreshed and gorgeous is a killer pair of false lashes. Call me crazy, but people tell me constantly it looks like I took hours to get ready, when I only had 10 minutes! They always add just the right amount of drama to your look!

What’s the best party you’ve ever been to and why?
I really enjoyed the Hermes Party at the DIFC not too long ago. It was absolutely beautiful, but my favorite part of the party was the crowd. Everyone was really eclectic and I felt like I was in a completely different world! I felt like the guests really pushed their fashion sense and the end result was beautiful! Not to mention, they were all pretty fabulous!

What’s your three beauty must-haves for the party season and why?
Dramatic Lashes, Perfectly Contoured Face, and a Gorgeous Do! Simple, when you have all of these elements, everything comes together extremely fast and you always manage to look like a million bucks!
