My Bio
My name is Aubrey Halliday, I was born and raised by a mother that didn't know how to do her own makeup. Sure she could paint her face with foundation, pencil in her eyebrows and apply the basic lipstick in the case of a formal event; but that was it. I was raised a tomboy, told not to fear spiders, mice or snakes and handed a blowtorch to kill the weeds in the front yard.
It wasn't until high school that I even started to look at makeup and hair. So I cut my hair short I colored it every color of the rainbow. This is also when I started my experiments with makeup. So sitting in front of my bathroom mirror with a printed picture or a tutorial playing loudly from my computer in the hallway, I slowly began mastering my makeup and hair skills. Many things went horribly wrong while others became a masterpiece. Soon my family came to the understanding; if the family was going out they needed to give me more than an hour in the bathroom to experiment with a new look. Though it wasn't until my freshman year of college that I actually considered it a career.
So enrolled in a cosmetology school wear i truly learned my passion and talent was makeup and not hair. Unfortunately my school was more about hair. So once again i was left to my own devices, stalking blogs, youtube, books, pictures and movies. After gaining some confidence I started to put my name out there.So far i have done photo shoots, Fashion shows, comic book conventions, Weddings, and even a student movie.
Though many things have gone wrong I have also learned many lessons and am leaning to better things as i go.
As of now I am striving more towards the movie industry and I wish to specialize in prosthetics; but that will take some time. so in the mean time your welcome to enjoy my portfolio.

So am super proud of my Left 4 Dead witch costume and i can't wait to share the pictures with everyone. Though i was embarrassed at first by how much skin was showing it was a lot easier to get into character once i scared a few people at con. Sadly it is late so i will be putting them up later this week. That is a promise. though i don't have all of them on this computer i have a fair amount. So start looking forward to it!

So i had a blast this past weekend working Phoenix Comicon with my cousin at her booth, though all the early morning makeup sessions were tiring it was well worth it. sadly the pictures will be up in a bit longer because unfortunately before the con my computer crashed so all the pictures are on other my sister computer and she went back up to college yesterday morning. T^T sigh. i will try to get them up soon.

So i finally finished uploading all the past work I have done.... or at least all the past work that I could find. My computer crashed a few times; and each time I lost just a little more. Anyhow I'm currently looking for some inspiration; if anyone has anyidea for a makeup design or ideas I would love to hear them.  I'm always up for a challenge.
