For the very first time, 31-year-veteran makeup artist, educator and beauty entrepreneur Donna Mee will be conducting workshops in Newcastle, March 2013. After honing her skills working in catwalk, print and television, she specialises in beauty makeup for print work and is known for her commanding presence and ability to articulate complex science and theory in a way that is easily understood. Donna has a gift for painting a picture with her words, analogies and stories in which she delivers with conviction and humour. This enables artists to absorb everything she teaches in a way that is easy to remember. Her passion for beauty is evident and contagious as she passes out major 'light bulb moments' that positively alter the outcome of her student's work and success.
