Personal Portrait

My personal portrait refers to me and what I like and who I am.

In my portrait I am wearing all black, I don't know why I always love to wear black. Not because I know its slimming because I am a very small person anyway, but it looks smart, clean and you can dress so many different things with black too.
The majority of my wardrobe has black clothing but I do love to have items that are bright and vibrant too, sometimes I just think black looks better on me than a colour.

I am holding a mirror in my portrait too because I am a little vein. If there is a mirror I will look in it and I will sort my hair out or check my liner looks ok but I know a lot of people who do that so I don't feel so bad. I worked in a hair salon with mirrors around me all the time so I am used to looking in them and making sure I look ok.

The mirror is a bright pink colour because my favourite colour is pink. I'm a girly girl who like pink, fluffy and sparkly things. If there is anything I like I will always try get it in pink other wise its black. In my room the majority of accessories are solver of pink.
All my favourite colours could quite easily all go together - pink, white, silver and black.

In my hair I have a pink material flower. This was on my cats collar, she was an indoor cat so we spent a lot of time together and every night she would be right next to me. When I moved to university I had to find her a new home because I couldn't bring her down here and my mum works away a lot and does long hours in the office so it wasn't fair to leave her alone all day.
I wore the flower in my hair because it was her last collar I bought her before I moved, she would always have a really cute girls collar on with a bow or a flower on to make her look pretty.
I miss her a lot as she was always sat with me, most of the time annoying me but she was a huge part of my life ever since I got her and I cant wait to be able to bring her down here to a new home.

On my lips I am wearing a Korean lipstick from a make up store in Hong Kong called Etude House. I went over to Hong Kong to stay with my auntie as she lives there, we had such a good time and I wish I had spent longer there. I went to a make up store and I got so many different things. In the picture I'm also wearing the brow powder palette and a highlighter as well as the lipstick. It was a really good experience for me as I went on my own, it was time for me to start being more grown up and doing things on my own and it has effected my life because now I'm not afraid to go anywhere as I have travelled half way around the world on my own.

I am looking straight at the camera because I was always told when you are speaking to someone to look them straight in the eyes. Other wise you look distracted like your not listening or your not really interested in what the person is saying. I am all for manners, my mum brought me up to be polite and say please and thank you which is exactly what I do now and I find it really bad when people don't know basic manners.

My setting is in my new room in halls at University in Southampton. I love my room as its cute and small, its the right size for me and all my things. I have it so girly and different to all my friends in this halls too. I have bags, shoes, clothes and make up galore! But I'm a very organised person so it is very tidy. But if I'm not at work or at university then I will be in my room typing away doing some work.

In my right ear I have my ear pierced twice too, this reminds me of the summer I had at home after I got back from Hong Kong. My niece is a huge art of my life and so is her mum. Her mum isn't my sister but we are really good friends we may as well be sisters. We randomly decided to go get a piercing one day and when I was younger I had my ears pierced but they kept getting infected. So, this one day we went to a shop and he did it for me and she got hers done too. My ear is absolutely fine now its healed, my piercing reminds me of my niece and her mum because we have so much fun together and there both huge parts of my life.

All these things that are in my portrait some how mean something to me and I look after myself and these things as I wouldn't ever want anything to happen to the things I love as well as the people I love.
