I am so excited and proud to launch my new Make-up brushes and bag range! This is to celebrate my 30 years in the industry. All brushes are vegan, cruelty free and hand made in the U.K. I have carefully selected which brushes to include in the range so you can make your application as easy and simple as makeup really is! The brushes are so soft and beautiful to work with and they are an investment. No more buying brushes [...]

Being a Pro Make-up artist with over 27 years of experience, including working on London Fashion week, magazines, T.V and theatre, (14 of these working exclusively with Brides/weddings and private make-up lessons), I regularly hear horror stories of how people have bad experiences having their make-up applied, this often gives seasoned Make-up artists bad press and a hard time gaining trust with potential clients. I also often hear of how people are uncertain about the kind of things they [...]
Good make-up starts with the right base being used beforehand, e.g, there is no point putting makeup on bare skin if you have dry skin and are using an oil free foundation. You need to be aware of what skin type you are, or how your skin is looking, feeling and behaving, the time of the year, the occasion you want the make-up for, then you can make the decision about how to treat it, what to use skincare [...]
I love travelling around the U.K, working on various weddings and yesterday I had the honour of visiting beautiful Stamford. I had no idea what a great place it is to visit!

I had to do her wedding make-ups at The George in Stamford, which is a gorgeous old hotel, with lots of character, great food and amazing staff, I took [...]

I often get asked how long it takes me to do my make-up, (it depends on what time I have and what I need that day!) Skin prep is very important to me, so making sure I use the right moisturiser for my skin, (depending on the time of year and my skins needs.) As I am getting older, my skin is more dry and I feel like I need a bit of a glow! so I always opt for [...]
