Hi Guys!
What gorgeous weather we've having lately.. It looks like Spring is well and truly here :)
It's been a while since I've blogged but things have been busy, busy, busy!
Today's post is all about my behind the scene and being an assistant to Suchana Makeup artist for the Pakistan Fashion Show for London Fashion Week!
Yep! lol somehow I landed in assisting the lovely Suchana at her gig and it was fantastic!
I know everyone gives stick to makeup artist's these days saying they are a dime a dozen but that's such a negative way to look at these amazingly hardworking individual's.
I completely salute these girls who a lot of times are full time mums as Suchana. Many have full time/part-time jobs and do this as a passion whilst working long gruelling hours with heavy cases of make-up & hair styling equipment to lug around along. This occupation also comes with very early starts and lots of standing around in tiny little back rooms with poor ventilation and lighting. So who said it was glamorous all the time?!
These ladies are amazingly talented individuals who are using their own initiative to be employed at a time when jobs are really hard to come by and I think we should appreciate the hard work that goes into being a MUA.
Make-Up artistry like most area's of fashion related professionals have to keep up to date on trends and fashion, they have ongoing training to stay fresh and have to constantly update the portfolio to stay current.
The start up for any Hair & Makeup artist is not cheap with courses for 2 days starting from around £300 to £3000 and that doesn't include the cost of having a full makeup kit to cater to clients of all ethnicity which can cost hundreds £££££ more.
Suchana is a lovely girl and we go way back when I was running my online Boutique 'Saree Essence'.
Please do let me know what you thought of the post? I value all feed back!
Lot's of love!

Suchana is a lovely girl and we go way back when I was running my online Boutique 'Saree Essence'.
Suchana was kind enough to come to my launch party and I think it was also her launch into the world of being a free lance Hair & Makeup artist.
Over the years Suchana and I have collaborated on a couple of other shoots and things but this was only the 2nd time that I had met her in person and she is still very much the same girl that I met such a long time ago.
We had a great night then as we did this time around 4 years on... Suchana is still very much a down to earth, easy going girl!

She has no airs about her and from what I experienced, made everyone of the models feel at ease and had a great rapport with everyone involved.
So here's a peek of what we got up to at the Pakistan Embassy in Knightsbridge for London Fashion Week and the amazing work that Suchana and couple of other makeup artist along with my contribution on the day.
It was a great day with lovely girls, beautiful clothes and yummy food laid on by the Pakistan Embassy in an amazing setting as you can see from the pic's below.
The evening catwalk show was watched by the High Commissioner of Pakistan along with other foreign diplomats. unfortunately I had to leave early due to other commitments and had to miss the actual fashion show :(
