After 10 years in the music industry promoting the careers of Whitney Houston, Puff Daddy, Usher, Tony Brixton and TLC, Michelle made the bold step to change careers.
A chance introduction opened the door to a lifetime opportunity where Michelle was offered the chance to assist the legendary and world acclaimed Makeup Artist Val Garland. “She was looking for a full time First Assistant and offered me the job due to my organisational skills and ability to cope under pressure.” Michelle never went to makeup school, she learnt everything from Val.
