Thank-you to all of my lovely Brides who took the time to vote for me for The Wedding Industry awards recently! I was blown away by the lovely comments, it means such a lot so thank-you so much.

It is my pleasure to announce that I have won the East Midlands' regional award, for Wedding make-up artist of the year, for The Wedding Industry awards 2016! I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of my lovely Brides that voted for me and left some heartfelt comments and feedback - it really meant a lot to me, thank-you so very, very much. I travelled to Daventry, where the awards were held last night, with the amazing [...]
I work with so many lovely ladies and it really is an honour to be able to help someone look and feel their best, (yes, it sounds cheesy but I mean it!) Its such a confidence boost when not only do you look good, but you FEEL good! the 2 go hand in hand! I know all too well! If I don't wear any make-up, I do feel quite low! make-up is such a powerful tool and when used [...]

I am very lucky to be a columnist for The Lincoln Journal and The Lincolnshire Journal magazines, (I also write columns for The Wedding Journal too.) My most recent column in The Wedding Journal is talking about why you should book a Pro make-up artist on your wedding day. Here's a snippet, "Weddings are a time of celebration and happiness and I am always honoured to be a part of someones' special day. When choosing a Make-up artist, you can't [...]
As I have mentioned recently, I had the pleasure of working with such great professionals on an amazing shoot in Sheffield. Photography was by the very talented and lovely Jess Petrie, who's work I love and admire. Nina Marika was the extremely talented stylist, hair by Berquet Laurent of Hair Laundry, Cakes and head pieces - Amy Swann cakes, florals - Swallows and Damsons, make-up by me. The model was the beautiful Urte. The dresses were from the amazing [...]
I get to meet so many lovely Brides, I really do love my job! I always say it is such an honour to be part of someones special day.
I haven't been able to update my blog for a while, as I have been so busy with bookings. I am going to do a more in-depth blog as soon as I can! Since my last blog I have been working flat out with make-up lessons, weddings, shoots and make-up trials. I have also taken on lots of bookings for 2016 and 2017 too, (try not to be too late booking, as I have had to turn away lots of [...]
Well, since my last blog I have been flat out! Since the body painting shoot its been make-up lesson after make-up lesson and lots of bridal make-up trials and then weddings every weekend...I need a make-over myself! Saying that, I am really happy at the moment, as I am lucky working with such great people and getting to see such beautiful venues. I was lucky to work at the stunning Knowsley Hall in Liverpool recently, (Gary Barlow had turned up [...]
One of the most common concerns for the ladies that I meet are dark circles. Dark circles are different to an eye bag, and eye bag is a "sag" and no amount of make-up can conceal this, (I will blog about this hopefully on a later date.) There may be different causes for the dark circles, one could be hereditary even. All is not lost, as we have my secret weapon of choice...make-up! Firstly, you do have to make sure [...]
