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 [...]
I don't know about you, but I am quite bored of seeing the same uniformed ideal seen over on Instagram. Everyone seems to be a carbon copy of everyone else don't you think? Where brows are blocked and almost "fuzzy felt", Eyeshadow is "cut crease", Contour has gone crazy with noses being slimmed down and cheekbones exaggerated with brown stripes and lips are blown up with fillers. Make-up is so heavy, I really do feel it is time for [...]
I have finally got around to updating my blog, as promised! so here is what I like to use on my skin. As I mentioned on my Facebook page, I don't believe in spending too much money on a cleanser, as its not on your skin very long, saying that, obviously I wouldn't just use any old thing either! I used to use the Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser but then Aldi brought out a much cheaper option, (£3.99 for 200 [...]

My February make-up article is out now in The Journal magazine, all about foundations. How to chose the right one, which are the best ones and how to apply them. The magazine now covers the whole of Lincolnshire!
This brand has been intriguing me for quite some time. There's been a bit of a buzz about it and the thing that drew me to want to try it was that it promoted a "less is more" approach to beauty, which as you probably know, I love. I think the whole industry actually needs a brand like this to shake up the whole drag queen look thing that is dictating at the moment, (even though, for [...]
