Hi everyone, I am pleased to introduce you to my team that will be writing for ESVIE. They all feature regular columns full of inside info for you to get your teeth into! As well as these lovely pro’s, there will be additional guest writers and contributors along the way. If you think you have something to give to the site, please do get in touch.

Sabina Ventriglia  |  Editor and Founder of ESVIE

Ok so this is me, the Editor of ESVIE and Professional Makeup Artist.
I have always had huge interest in the Fashion world, especially where beauty and cosmetics are concerned. The way a model is painted can really translate the style of an image.

I have been lucky enough to work on many projects, from London Fashion Week, TV productions for Channel 4, MTV and SkyOne and being published in high fashion magazines, to charity fashion shoots, music videos and celebrity events. I have worked on the faces of Olympic Athletes, Celebrities from your favourite soaps, and top models.

One of the main brands I work with is Artdeco Couture, the makeup sponsor for Dancing on Ice. I trained with them up in Liverpool and continue to work with them on different events and projects. I love this brand hugely and if you haven’t heard of them yet, you will. Just you wait! They have graced the faces of many celebrities that you see in top magazines, with ambassadors such as Tara Palmer-Tomkinson representing the brand.

Well I hope you enjoy reading ESVIE and help yourself to leaving comments on your favourite articles!
