She took time out from her busy schedule to talk to us...

What do you do for a living?

I am a full time content creator.

How do you describe your videos to people?

I would describe my videos as cool, interesting and entertaining. Here's a christmas themed example:

What would a typical creative day look like?

When I want to create something I dedicate the whole day to just that. I wake up around 8am, drink a coffee and play some inspirational music. I prepare my camera, set-up my background and grab the make up I will need. I can then start to create my art and I never rush myself. I take as long as I need to make it look good. When I am finished, I edit my video before uploading.

What's the best thing about partnering with Newsflare?

I mainly use two Panasonic 4k HC-VX1, one is often being repaired as I fall in rivers quite often! I also use a GoPro 8 for some time-lapse footage and when I need something waterproof.

What camera do you use?

I use a Panasonic GH5S camera.

Can you tell us about your makeup collection?

I can do better than that, I will show you my makeup collection.

and my wig collection...

and my contact lenses...

Any tips for other Newsflare content creators?

I don't have any particular tips but my advice is to shoot as much as possible and make interesting videos and try to follow what's trending.

What do you attribute to your creative success?

It is definitely imagination.

What's your favourite makeup transformation you have performed?

My favourite makeup so far is Wooden Puppet Doll. That doll changed my life and taught me never to give up... So maybe that's my advice, never give up.
