At the same time she was also approached by Fenchurch Clothing to work with them on their new collection shoot.
In October 2007, Ali established Kanizmakeup, which consisted of various projects, including branded products produced by Kanizmakeup.
In October 2009, she established the Kanizmakeup Training Academy, following a number of requests from clients to learn tips and techniques from her. She now holds regular practical workshops throughout the year, and also teaches make-up, fashion and bridal courses.
In May 2010, she decided to build up a team of make-up artists called the "Kanizmakeup Team". This gives opportunities to new artists to build up their portfolios and work alongside her on mainstream high fashion catwalks and shows.
