 “Even though most ladies do have the impression of being good make-up artist and go about doing make-up on people faces which is okay but there are lots of things they actually should know about, for examples the kind of skin tone matching foundations etc. Here at Heart of Gold, I have learned all that skill,” the student explained.

“Despite your professional career, imagine I am Lawyer in the making and I am also a makeup artist which has added a bonus to my streams of earning,” she added
