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 23+ 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 a finalist for Make-up specialist of the year for the prestigious Professional Beauty awards in 2011 and 2013.
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 a 13 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!
