ABOUT ME

I’m a multiple makeup agency owner, author, and confidence and lifestyle coach, who is SUPER passionate about changing your self perception so you can realise the huge amount of power that you already have within you – because you do have SO much power within you – and I guarantee you are made of stronger stuff than you give yourself credit for!

As a London girl who battled with mental health and addiction in her early 20s, I’m proud to have come out better for it the other side, and so it is both my passion and purpose in life to share my story and learnings to support others with their mental health and self-confidence.

I Am Curious

Ever since I was a little girl I have been fascinated by the way I could use creativity to challenge and change perspective – this isn’t exactly how my 10 year old self would have described it of course, but this is exactly what it was – and I continued to challenge perspectives throughout school and University with art, design, and performance.
 
I got hooked on the power of transformation very early on which led me to my career in hair and makeup artistry and then on to create my agencies.
 
While my team continues to spread the joy of creative transformations through CJC and Glitter & Glo, I felt compelled to dig deeper and create longer-lasting transformations that come from the inside, not the outside.
 
I have always been asking questions (perhaps too many for my own good!) and I have never really stopped questioning why things are the way they are, why myself and others are the way that we are, and what motivates us all to do what we do?

We experience so many different things over the course of our lives and it fascinates me how our experiences shape who we are, and who we become.

I Believe

Each of us already has the skills and ability to live our happiest and most purposeful life, yet we get distracted, turn to quick-fix solutions, or end up being held prisoner by others’ ideals and standards.

Life happens, things veer us off course. Sometimes we are able to get back on track, but sometimes we are unaware; we fail to stop, and we fail to address the issues that we are facing.

Unaddressed these issues can send us beating down the wrong path, in the shadow of someone else’s journey, lacking in confidence and self-assurance to get back to our own path – I know as I’ve been there!

Through both makeup artistry and transformative coaching work, I have learned a lot, but one of my biggest takeaways is:

True confidence and happiness comes only from the inside, not what you put on the outside.

I Believe

Each of us already possess the skills, and ability, to live our happiest and most purposeful life, yet we get distracted, turn to quick-fix solutions, and hold ourselves prisoner living by others’ ideals and standards.

Life happens, things veer us off course. Sometimes we’re able to get back on track, but sometimes we’re unaware; we fail to stop, and we fail to address the issues that we are facing.

Left unaddressed these issues can send us beating down the wrong path, in the shadow of someone else’s journey, lacking in confidence and self-assurance to get back to our own path – I know as I’ve been there!

Through both makeup artistry and transformative coaching work, I have learned a lot, but one of my biggest takeaways is:

True confidence and happiness can only come from the work you do on the inside, not the outside of you.

I Know

Through working with people both in the makeup chair and away from it, I’ve discovered that there are core elements that form the foundations for your self-confidence.

These elements are your self-image, your environment, your habits, and your routine.

They work in tandem, are influenced by one another, and must all be maintained in order for you to have the confidence to not only do and achieve all that you want to in life, but have the most fun while you’re at it – Because if you’re not having fun in life then what’s the point?

Society encourages us to find a lane and stick to it, whether that’s within our careers, our relationships, our attitudes etc. and while it may seem “safer” to do so, we actually end up cutting ourselves off from amazing opportunities and experiences and living a very closed off and sheltered life. 

So I say to hell with that! We aren’t here forever and it’s our birthright to squeeze as much fun out of our trips around the sun.

I’ve certainly not been one to pick a lane and stick to it.

I’m passionate about many things: creativity, entrepreneurship, writing, makeup artistry, bodybuilding, psychology, and spirituality, to name a few.

And while these may seem unconnected, they are very much intertwined.

The skills and knowledge I gain by pursuing my passion in one area is easily transferrable to another. It’s what keeps me constantly learning, growing, and evolving.

It’s your engagement with all that you are passionate about, your level of self-awareness, and your ability to apply the lessons that you learn each day in one area of your life to others that will give you access to a steady stream of fresh opportunities and get the most out of yourself and your journey on this rock.

You’ve only got one life, the best way to live it is your way, and by your own design.

Love, Camilla xx
