Alex Box Make-Up Show @ Selfridges.

On Thursday 25th April, I travelling to London to attend an exclusive make-up show by Alex Box inspired by David Bowie. As soon as I had the opportunity I bought a ticket because I couldn't of missed this amazing chance to see my idol do her thing. I find Alex Box an inspiration not just as a make-up artist, but an artist herself and as a person and the fact that when I met her, she recognized me made me the happiest girl!

As I had the chance to attend the show, although Bowie isn't anything to do with my project as it is set in 1920s, I decided to take the chance to do a post about the show as firstly it was incredible, so inspiring but also because from watching Alex do her work, I noted down her techniques and picked up on different things that I had learnt from watching her. Even down to how she held her brush and positioning of the brush/hand when applying make-up. It is a dream of mine to work for Illamasqua, and in my mind the final designs for my shoots could be referred to the Illamaqua style as this is something that I am teaching myself. The ticket was £100, (totally worth it), but the ticket after purchased became redeemable, which basically meant it worked a as a voucher as we were given the chance to instead of receive a goodie bag of products, we were able to pick £100 worth of products from the new Bowie collection which hasn't even been released yet. These are the products I picked...

Overall, one of the best nights I have had in years. It was such a fun, friendly and inspiring night, I have come away motivated and driven to do even better in this project, and to achieve my dreams!
