Hi Everyone,
This is my first time ever finally starting a blog after so many people asking me to get one! Lol :P
I will be posting a lot of different types of my work on my blog...weddings, shoots, tv/film, gigs, behind the scenes, sales, events, beauty tips, faves etc.
I thought I would share with you a little bio about myself as my intro....
"Make-up is my lifetime passion..."
Passion, talent and dedication are 3 of the many words that best describes Toronto-based make-up artist Irene Sy. Irene started out as an aspiring self-taught make-up artist, initially practicing on her family and friends, imputing many hours into her diverse clientele. After sharing her work online, Irene began collaborating with talented photographers, models and other creative individuals on photo shoots where she began to see her work come to life. Irene's great passion for make-up art excels all aspects of her work from beautifying brides on their special day, to creating the latest looks on models in fashion shows, magazines and shoots with her intricate make-up application skills. Irene looks forward to opening her own make-up studio and her own cosmetic line in the near future. Irene offers airbrush and traditional make-up applications.
