Money, Adam Deacon, to name but a mere few.
Despite working a lot in film and television, Gina has also kept working in the fashion industry and on music videos. She says,
‘More often than not, film makeup can be very natural and sometimes barely anything at all. As much as I adore being on set and in a makeup trailer, I love being super creative with my work. Experimenting with colour and texture really excites me which is why I still like working in fashion.’
Gina holds a BA Hons degree in Fashion and Textiles Design which still stands as a majorly useful tool in her work today- colour mixing, colour matching and creating texture.
As an all-round artist, Gina is very much used to working on all different skin tones and textures. In her early makeup days she worked as a UK Trainer for Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, travelling up and down the country, training teams on how to foundation match to a skin tone and how to work with varying skin textures to create flawless looks. She was also a skincare ambassador and has extensive skincare knowledge which is vital as different skins work so differently with different products.
Gina is an advocate for appreciating life; she is so grateful to be constantly working in an industry that she loves. It is this love and passion for what she does that pushes her to go above and beyond, giving 100% on every project that she works on.
