This is Miss Fleck again reporting for blog duty. I thought I would fill you in on my recent make-up session with the amazing team here at the LND rehearsal space. Basically, like many girls I am obsessed with make-up. On my last job I wore very little so when I read the call sheet for Monday and saw that I was scheduled to be in make-up for 2 hours I got ridiculously over-excited! I was greeted by Naomi (Make Up Designer) who was holding eyebrow glue. I was a bit worried. I sat down in front of three huge tables of every type of make-up you could possibly think of. It was like Christmas! On the wall opposite were hundreds of inspirational photos and I was drawn to a black and white picture of a gorgeous French model. Lucky for me that was Naomi’s idea for my Fleck makeover!

So basically we tried the eyebrow glue to make my eyebrows look thinner and higher but (thankfully) it didn’t look quite right so we had to stick to my own! After 15 minutes of trying to find a foundation that is pale enough (I am so pale there is a hint of blue to my skin, what can I say I’m Irish!) we got down to work. 10 eyeshadow shades and 45 minutes later, I had the most amazing eye make-up I have ever seen. They’re estimating that it will take me 45 minutes to apply my make-up before every show. Aaagggghhh! Fake eyelashes and a gorgeous lipstick colour later and I have turned into Miss Fleck. No-one recognized me!

Let’s hope I can take it off quickly or else I will be getting some funny looks on the train home every night!

Everything is going swimmingly in rehearsals. We’re working on one of the final scenes and it looks stunning! Believe me, you will not be expecting this!

We’ve had so many birthdays over the past few weeks and therefore have had a constant supply of birthday cake. Unfortunately there don’t seem to be any more in the foreseeable future and I am a bit gutted. Probably best for my waistline!

Anyway until next time,

Niamh xx
