Makeup artistry... the beginning!

Hi ! Welcome to my verrrry first ever post on my shiny new blog.

My name is Danielle Wetherell, I am a 21 year old university student aspiring to become a makeup artist. In 3 days time I will have an interview for a advanced makeup artistry degree corse at a  makeup collage. OOERR.

I am nervous. 


For the past 3 years I have been studying Criminology and Sociology at The University of York. I have loved it, I have hated it. With all good times inevitably comes hard times. Especially when I knew all along my vocation was to be in the beauty industry.  I am, HOWEVER, incredibly glad and grateful that I went to university as it really did/has changed my life in so many ways. Having a degree is a great thing, I will be pleased when I can say I have it safely under my belt, the overall experience of university however is so much more then a graduation and a 2:1 at the end of it all. 

I know it is terribly cliche but uni really has been the best days of my life, it has moulded me as a person and I have changed in ways I couldn't even imagine - never being able to touch tequila again for instance. I have acquired some astonishing memories and even more so made some phenomenal friends. 

University Night Out Memories

Despite these amazing times, I now feel I have arrived at the point where my uni life must come to an end. Yes I will miss the freedom, the resources, the friends, the nights out.. but I just know that it really is time for me to move on. Time for me to make my way into a world in which I long to be in. 

Beauty. 

With less then 3 months to go until I finish uni for good, I am struggling to find motivation, especially as I have my interview so soon. The idea of windows of opportunity flying open all around me makes it VERY hard to concentrate on 'feminist theories regarding women in the criminal justice system'! 

So, here I am, inviting you to follow me through the closing of one chapter and the opening of an even more exciting one. There are so many blogs floating around where accomplished makeup artists share there lives with us... they are great, I read them religiously. 
I, however, am starting from scratch. Join me in the journey of becoming a professional. 
I want you to be with me from start to hopefully finish.

I am going shopping tomorrow to choose an outfit to wear on wednesday. 

I will be sharing this with you too. 
WISH ME LUCK! 

Danielle (ME)
