What do you like doing on your day off?
Shopping and meeting up with friends.
If you were to choose your favourite meal what would it
be, where and why?
Steak and chips at the Downshire Hotel in Banbridge because it never
disappoints.
What has been your proudest moment?
Making it into the final six of Oonagh Boman's Make-up
Excellence Award. I was really chuffed and so proud as I work full time as a
hairdresser and only started make-up a year ago. There was a lot of
competition and didn't think I'd get this far.
What was the most frightening moment of your life?
Nearly drowning as a child.
How would you describe your taste in clothes?
I like to say quirky - some might say weird.
What would you do if you won a million pounds?
I'd definitely go on a world trip and stay in five star
hotels all the way.
What was your most embarrassing moment?
Too many to say.
What music do you like?
A bit off everything but the current music I love is
Florence and the Machine and Kings of Leon.
What sports person do you most admire?
As I'm not into sports I don't have any specific sports
person I'd admire.
Describe your best ever holiday. What would your dream
holiday be?
My best holiday has to be to Thailand it's such a
gorgeous country, people really pleasant and the food and drink very
reasonable. I'd definitely go back there. My dream holiday would have to be
Las Vegas, Hawaii and San Francisco which my boyfriend and I have booked for
September and I am so excited.
What is your greatest remaining ambition?
To be a well known Make-up Artist and have a portfolio of
lots of celebrity clients.
If you could spend a day with a celebrity whom would you
choose?
Vivienne Westwood to get some style tips.
If you were stranded on a desert island what three things would you want with you?My mobile phone and two friends so I wouldn't get bored.
