Hi Everyone,
It has been far too long since I last wrote in my blog. So, I have a lot of catching up to do….
Since the days of The Toxic Avenger, a lot has happened. I spent a good couple months just relaxing, auditioning, falling in love, and thinking about what I wanted my next moves to be. I decided that I wanted to get into MAC Cosmetics to further my credibility as a makeup artist. Once I got into the company, I worked at MAC Yorkdale for 2 months and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Also, while doing this over the course of the summer, I also found myself extremely booked up with bridal party makeups and special event makeups. I really feel like my clientele base has grown exponentially this year and for that I am truly grateful. I cannot thank everyone enough for spreading the word about Fancy Face!! For those of you that do not know about my makeup artist company, visit http://www.fancyface.ca
In other exciting makeup news, I also was given the great opportunity to assist a FABULOUS makeup artist on the set of So You Think You Can Dance Canada. I met this wonderful woman while doing makeup for two music videos for Tyrone Vaughan (Stevie Ray Vaughan relative) After gaining some insights and tips from her, we kind of became instant friends and she decided to take me under her wing and bring me onboard SYTYCD. She has been working as the head artist on the show since day one and was also the key artist on Canadian Idol. I have been onset doing makeup for the lovely contestants on the show. I absolutely love it there. Everyone is sooooo nice and wonderful to work for.
Since I dedicated most of my summer to furthering my experience as a makeup artist, I have now decided to start focusing more on the acting side of things again. I am currently back and forth between Regina shooting a TV series called ‘Insecurity’ that will be coming out on CBC next January. The series is an action/comedy and has the same producers as ‘Corner Gas’. I am playing the role of Amber in the show. She goes on a date with the lead character of the show and it doesn’t quite go as planned.
I am off to Regina today again and get back on Saturday. Then, next week I have a few more makeup jobs…including another day on SYTYCD Canada and then I am off to Italy for 15 days with my two wonderful gal pals Christine and Cathy. 
We planned this trip a LONG time ago and I really cannot believe it is finally here! We are going on a Top Deck tour which is kind of like a Contiki tour but just with an Australian company. We start in Rome for 2 days, then go to Pompeii, Sorrento, Assisi, Siena, Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Cinque Terre, Lake Garda, Verona, Venice, Orvieto, and then end back in Rome. I really think it is going to be the trip of a lifetime. I have never had a vacation like this and I really cannot wait.
This half a year has really been quite a ride for me. Have had a lot of ups and downs but it has been far from boring. Throughout, I have kept focused and dedicated to pursing my passions in life and to following my heart.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this update! Stay tuned for more soon!
I will leave you with this video of me on an episode of Aaron Stone. My web designer just edited it. Hope you like it.
Till next time…
With love,
Brittany
