Since leaving the London College of Fashion where I graduated with a H.N.D, I have fulfilled a lifetime ambition to work as a Make-up artist, gaining valuable experience nationwide and building up my portfolio. I was represented by Models Plus in London, M.O.T. in Hertfordshire, Number One Model Management in Nottingham and Boss in Manchester. I then went onto work for Bobbi Brown in Nottingham and was trained by them in London. I recently attended a master-class in Birmingham with Paul Herrington, who is the head of Artistry at Bobbi Brown.
My 22 years of experience include working for Carlton T.V. in Nottingham, London Fashion week, Boots No. 7, London Graduate week , The Royal Opera House, Loaded magazine, Marks and Spencer, Vision Express, Looks magazine, City Lights magazine, Snowboard UK magazine, Nottingham Playhouse, Sanatogen Gold and Arena magazine and I was recently a finalist for Make-up specialist of the year for the prestigious Professional Beauty awards.
My experience and product range means I can cater for any skin tone/ethnicity and I am a Bobbi Brown and MAC Pro-member. I use the best make-up tools and products which are constantly updated to include all the latest shades.
I have now settled back in the North-east Lincolnshire area and I have an 11 year old daughter. I set up my make-up business here in 2005 and have gained an excellent reputation specializing in Bridal/wedding make-up, make-up lessons and special occasion make-up.
After having the pleasure of speaking with legendary, celebrity Make-up artist Maggie Hunt recently, I am going to assist her soon in London, which will be a dream come true as she has been a huge inspiration to me as I used to admire her work in Elle and Vogue, etc…watch this space!
