Nicole's Big Night Out

It all started last year when I decided to enrol in a makeup artistry course and thought I'd better do some research before choosing an academy.  My husband helped me and in the end it wasn't a hard decision.  After we'd discussed the options, I chose the Samala Robinson Academy. 
 
There have been many highlights during my course but the biggest so far has been getting to work on TV3's Telethon - "The Big Night In".
 
I was backstage on both days of the Telethon and got to meet stars and celebrities like John Campbell, Alan Dale, Martin Henderson and Tina Cross.  There were also people I didn't expect to see with makeup on like PNC, David Dallas and Scribe.
 
I think that apart from the tutors with their knowledge and experience, one of the best parts of training with SRA has been the work experience opportunities.  They can be a bit challenging, especially something like "The Big Night In", but it's just what you need to get your confidence up, and that's really important for a young makeup artist.
