About

Hi, I'm Alice, and I don't really know how much about makeup... but I sure love talking about it. 

I'm passionate about finding the best affordable beauty products and sharing them over here, and on my YouTube channel. When I'm not talking to myself in front of a camera, you can probably find me swatching the latest neutral eyeshadow palette in Superdrug.

How old are you?
I'm 28. (19/07/1990)

Where do you live?
Manchester, United Kingdom. 

What camera do you use?

I use a Canon 700D for my blog photos and YouTube videos. Most of the time, I use the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens. I also like the Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens, and the Canon 40mm f/2.8 lens. And I guess I use the kit lens that came with the camera from time to time, too.

What lighting do you use?
For Youtube videos, I use a ring light pointing at me, and two softbox lights at either side pointing at the walls. For my blog photographs, I try to use natural lighting, but will sometimes turn on the ringlight when it's too dark.

What editing software do you use?

I use Adobe Photoshop CC to edit my photographs, and edit videos with Final Cut Pro X.

Who designed your website?

I used the Genevieve template from 17th Avenue Designs. My blog is hosted on Blogger. I also use patterns and textures by PeDe Designs on my blog, videos, and thumbnails.

Did you go to university?

I went to Manchester Metropolitan University for six years. I did a Foundation diploma in Art & Design, then a Bachelor's Degree in Photography, and then a Master's Degree in Photography. 

What's your job?

I'm self-employed and do a few different things - but the main two are administration (the stuff that pays the bills) and freelance photography (the stuff that I actually studied). My photography portfolio is over here.

Are you a natural redhead?

Yes! But sometimes I use temporary hair dye to add even more red tones. That's why sometimes my hair looks strawberry blonde (my natural colour), and sometimes it looks much brighter and more intense.
