Thanks to everyone who entered my Mother's day competition over on Facebook - I read some really inspirational comments - but the winner is Lynda Mennell, who has won a makeup lesson with me to the value of £150. The winner was chosen at random. I have been really busy with makeup lessons and bridal makeup trials, however, I had a few days off recently and so as I had a spare morning I thought I would experiment a bit [...]
I often save images that inspire me and then obsess about them for a while! I had always wanted to try some Mark Traynor Invisitapes, as these elongate the eye and have been a theatrical beauty secret for yonks! Plus drag queens wear them and I do love a good drag make-up. The tapes you attach either side of your face (and/or neck) and it gives you a facelift! 😳 I used LOADS of makeup and I felt like Lily Savage [...]

Thank you to all who have signed up for e-mails. I have been very busy booking some of you in for the discounted make-up lessons, and also doing the lessons too. Don't forget these need to be booked in before the 21st of December, and as long as they are done before the 29th of March 2019, that is fine, as then I will be busy with wedding make-up and trials. As this has been so successful, there is now very [...]
I tend to keep my day make-up quick, classic and natural. I do try out lots of new products, and mix them up throughout the year, according to my skin, how I feel, time I have and where I am going! Obviously, skincare is essential, so see my other post about my skincare routine on my Blog. Here are the products I am using at the moment - Bobbi Brown Tinted moisturiser BECCA cosmetics Under eye brightening corrector Clinique Airbrush concealer and Nars Radiant [...]
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 [...]
