I was working today at the Studios for the X Factor, it was great fun and all the contestants are so excited about being there and enjoy the shows so much. It was fantastic to see them all at the final stages complete with hair, make-up and wardrobe and it was also fab seeing Girls Aloud in rehersals too.

Today we were at Shepperton Studios, I was on set all day making sure everyone was shine free before they did there take, they all looked really fresh and natural in this video, wearing simple black clothing. It made a real impact, cant wait to see the end result. The single was no1 last week and all proceeds go to charity for the british soldiers so an excellent cause.

This was a great show, it was disco week so out came the glitter and sparkles! everyone looked fab and there were a lot of dancers too with beautiful bright colours, I had a great day/night doing the make-up but poor Austin went out…!

Today I went to the X Factor house, to get the contestants ready for the red carpet! they were all very excited and had beautiful outfits to wear. I did the make-up for Diana and Rachel they all looked fab and sure they had a great time.

What a great day, met all the contestants, very exciting they all had great styling, hair and of course make-up. The brief was to make them all look natural and beautiful so this is what we did and the result was fantastic. You will have to watch and see the video….!
