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 [...]
Things have been very hectic lately, (again!), ive been really busy with make-up trials and make-up lessons - the wedding season is in full flow it seems - this weekend I am working in Bedfordshire at Wyboston lakes for a wedding, and I have also recently taken on a wedding booking for Liverpool next month at the beautiful Knowsley Hall. I get to see so many lovely venues and work with such great people. I have been doing lots of make-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 [...]
I was kindly sent some products from Organic Glam. Created by a highly experienced Pharmacist who specialised in homeopathy and well being. She then created an organic brand, free from chemicals and now has stores nationwide, with their flagship store being at Kings Road, London. I tried the following products on one of my best friends, Sharon - Luminous antioxidant foundation, eyeshadow shimmer, liquid shimmer highlighter, concealer palette and lipstick. I loved the packaging, it looked expensive with a designer edge to [...]
It's that time again! I am very mindful about keeping my make-up kit and brushes all sanitised and clean. So, when you book a Professional make-up artist, take into consideration not just the time she puts into applying your make-up but also replying to e-mails, cleaning and stocking up her make-up kit and brushes not to mention her experience and portfolio. This sets the professionals apart from the amateurs, thus is reflected in their pricing. Between clients, my brushes and [...]

I have been a huge fan of Bobbi Brown for over 17 years and fell in love with the brand. I used to work for Bobbi in Nottingham, (I was trained by them in London too.) I am a little obsessed! I loved getting a tweet from Bobbi herself....
Well, 2014 is drawing to an end, and what a year it has been...where has it gone?! I have met some wonderful people this past year and had the pleasure of working with some great people too. I am really looking forward to relaxing over Christmas with my family...and taking time out to try out some new make-up of course! Next year looks to be another very busy one for me, there's very limited availability now, with bookings being taken for [...]
Recently I have had the pleasure of working with wonderful creative people. I worked with the amazing Joanna Chafer of Joanna-Leigh Couture in Brigg, and my goodness, her designs are second to none and the attention to detail is astonishing! Siana Hemmings was our beautiful model for the day, (Miss Lincolnshire) and I think you will agree, she looks amazing and is such a professional lady to work with, (and very funny too!) Our inspiration was of course Joannas' beautiful gowns [...]
I love writing, it enables me to talk about my make-up, (I can talk forever about this subject!). So I am so grateful that Laura, (the Editor) allows me artistic license over my column. In my August column I talk about one of the Summer catwalk trends - "Barefaced beauty." How scary does that sound?! But why are we so insecure about our looks these days? I have included some photos of my beautiful Mum. One when she was younger and [...]
