LA Student Profile – Laura Reid

Monday, October 17th, 2011

Meet Laura Reid, an LA Make-Up Beauty Therapy Student!

Name:
Laura Reid

Course:
Beauty Therapy

For you, what are the 5 best things in life?

1. Make-up – serious obsession of mine, the wackier the better I say!!!

2. Family – wouldn’t be where I am today without them.

3. Friends – the best (and the worst) influences in my life.

4. Food – cooking is a bit of a passion of mine.

5. Freedom – I like the choice of doing or going anywhere, any time.

Who inspires you?

My parents. My dad, for giving me the best start in life. He always believed in me and helped me to get to where I am today. My mam, for her continuous support through the good and the not so good and for being there when I needed hair to be waxed!!

What is the one thing you could not live without?

People!! Being alone terrifies me!! Love having people in my life that I can have fun with.

What is the best thing about college life at LA?

Everything! The girls in my class are amazing, talented people and I am glad I had the opportunity to meet them. The tutors and staff of LA are very welcoming and helpful with any problem that may arise.

If you could work as a make-up artist for one celebrity who would it be and why?

This is a toughie… I’d have to say Sara Jane in LA Makeup Academy. Not because she has bad make-up but because I’d say she would like someone to pamper her for a change!!!

What is your dream for the future?

Travel. It has been a dream of mine since I was a child to visit different countries and see different cultures. I would love to have the opportunity to be able to combine my two loves in life, beauty and travel.
