Hi there, I just wanted to touch in with you as since losing my Mum in July, understandably, I haven't been feeling 100% so, whilst I have still been trying to work on my wedding bookings, to the best of my ability, and makeup lessons, sometimes it just hasn't been possible, (despite working on the actual day she passed away). I have tried to honour as many as I can, (I have managed to do 95% of my wedding bookings). [...]

Rosie wanted a natural, classic look for her wedding day, which is of course, my signature look. She was a pleasure to work with and very easy going. As she was wearing white, this indicated that a brighter pop of colour is required on the face, otherwise, she would look washed out in the photos. The lip colour here is by Charlotte Tilbury, Hollywood lips in Sweetheart and then I layered Liv it up on the top. Eyes were softly defined with [...]
I had the pleasure recently of working with the gorgeous Katie, for her wedding in Lincolnshire. Make-up wise, Katie prefers a very natural look and I didn't want to distract the attention away from those amazing flowers! Light foundation was applied and a spot of powder, eyes were kept very light with a tiny bit of definition and some very small false lashes. A tiny flush of cream blush and then the spot on lip colour from Bobbi Brown to compliment the [...]
I had the pleasure of being the lovely Lindsey's Make-up artist today, for her wedding today at The Brackenborough hotel, Louth. Lindsey had booked me well in advance, about 2 years prior to her wedding day as she was set on me being her Make-up artist, so I was very flattered! Lindsey loves make-up and so I wasn't afraid to go to work, and really accentuate her lovely features. She has lovely skin and I like to really let the skin [...]
I had the pleasure of being Make-up artist to Hayley, Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom plus 5 Bridesmaids this weekend! It was an early start for a 3 pm wedding. The venue was The Orangery, Settrington, North Yorkshire. I haven't worked there before, it was absolutely stunning! Hayley and her wedding party got ready at the nearby cottage which is right next to a quaint little church and then The Orangery is next to that. It is [...]
I was so pleased to see Meghan Markle's bridal make-up was very pared down at the weekend, she looked SO beautiful! Daniel Martin who is her friend, and Make-up artist, did her make-up for her wedding day and so chose not to stray from her usual signature look. Meghan doesn't wear a lot of make-up usually, so as I always say to ladies who don't wear a lot of make-up, you need to be comfortable and you need to look [...]
