A day in the life of a mature 'model'




Dearest, darling, daughter has today finished her 9 week course at the in Melbourne and I am proud to say that she has passed with flying colours!



I had to go into the school today as one of her assessments was 'Mature Age' make up and I offered up my mature face to another student as well as to DDD. (See result above - top left!). I have to admit I was a little overcome when the assessor said, after inspecting the makeup that my daughter had created for me - "Well, that is absolutely stunning work, well done...." I almost cried and ruined it all!! (I am such a 'sook' as they say here in Oz - roughly translated as a bit of a 'weed' or softie).


My daughter has always been artistic and has a creative streak - this was a course for her before she begins her University back in England in September. A little bit of fun before the studying begins in earnest and as it is also an accredited course would help her if she wanted to get a part time job whilst at University or do some freelance work.


She's loved it and I have rather liked have my very own 'make up artist in residence' too. I am sure even Madonna doesn't even have that luxury!

    If you’re about to move abroad and don’t feel like packing a giant guide book with the rest of your life, you might consider downloading the Lonely Planet City Guide app. . This has been a huge help to me! Thanks a million! :)

    How lucky are you, and how glamorous you look.

    Did you cook the Thai chicken?

    Oh wow that is lovely. Very natural and flattering - you look lovely! How brilliant that you have a resident make-up artist. One of my friend's is a make-up artist but she hasn't volunteered to do mine yet. Funny that!

    It looks great! I'm sort of relieved that 'success' wasn't judged by how many different products she could pile on to you!

    Lucky you, you have someone to do your makeup whenever you want!
    This is coming from the woman that bought a fabulous how to makeup book and has not even opened it up yet. The joys of renovating....makeup brush sounds better than paint brush!

    Bisous, Leeann

    p.s. you look gorgeous but that comes from inside :-)

    Thank you all for the lovely and very kind comments...
    The lipstick colour for those who wanted to know is a Bourjois lip pencil - outline drawn and then colour filled in all over the lip (Colour No 11 : 'Enjoleuse') and then over the top a pale pink/nudey lip gloss - or even a clear one I would imagine. The gloss was one of the colours from the school of Make up where she was doing the course - I would imagine any pale nudey pink would work though... the lip pencil is the key (so says the make up artist in residence!) x
