I find Ve Neill an extremely inspiring make-up artist. She has worked on many of my favourite films, most notably The Hunger Games which I have always admired and been astounded by the make-up and based my final project in A-Level Photography on. Her work is incredibly detailed and intricate and I love the colours and styles that she incorporates to bring the look together.
I think that throughout my career as a make-up artist I will always look to Ve Neill for inspiration and styles to incorporate into my own work.
