Midlands 103 Customer Service Awards 2024

*Makeup Artist of the Year 2024*

You've read that right!
On Monday night I attended the Midlands 103 Customer Service Awards in the Tullamore Court Hotel. I was nominated in the Beauty Industry Category for Makeup Artist of the Year and incredible, I WON!

The evening itself was truly incredible with a drinks reception from Fore Distillery in Mullingar in which they served the most delish cocktails using their rum and poitin. Right up my alley!
Joe Wynne provided some lovely background music while I got to meet some friends and fellow business people all their to celebrate our great achievements of getting to the actually awards ceremony. 

We had a lovely meal with some top quality entertainment through including Manila Strings and the super enjoyable Singing Chef, Dickie Donnelly before the awards commenced. 

And then... my name was called! I would have loved to replay the moment to see the look of disbelief on my face that I actually crossed the finish line in 1st place and cannot describe the feeling of pure joy I felt walking up onto that stage. 

A word of thanks to every single one of you who have liked, commented, called, text and showed support in any way over the last number of days. 

I'm still in genuine disbelief here that I actually won and will never be able to express how grateful I am to have such amazing clients and supporters who nominated me for this award. 

A word of thanks to Midlands 103 and the judging panel for choosing me for your Makeup Artist of the Year 2024 and for an absolutely fantastic night from start to finish!

Running a small business at times can be very challenging but there is truly nothing I would rather be doing then being a Makeup Artist and I'm thankful everyday I wake up and get to do this job!

Not to be too cliche here, but a big thank you has to be said to my family and partner Dan who are a constant support and push me to be the best I can be at what I love doing. 

I've made some wonderful friendships over the last number of years and can't wait to see where the next few take me!

So once again, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
