5 Things Laura loves about life:
1- Doing a job you love - Having explored other careers before realising I could make a full, successful career out of make-up artistry, I know the difference in and importance of doing a job you love and are excited about, no matter what hours you work it always feels like fun
2- Traveling - Even though I don't think the backpacking style holiday is for me, there is nothing better than exploring a new country or even county in Ireland
3 - Meeting new people - Luckily I have a career which allows me to meet new people everday, it's always refreshing, can sometimes be challenging but most of the time it is amazing
4 - Going to gigs - I've always been into music and love nothing more than to go to a gig, I find the smaller venues the best
5 - Makeup! - I love being inspired by a certain shoot, image or anything at all basically and trying out new looks, make-up allows you to be so creative and I think it is so important to have at least one creative outlet in your life
