After what has felt like a really tough couple months work wise it’s been a real treat to start to see things looking up, as of August the 1st I can finally get back to work and doing what I love! Albeit safely and with guidelines, I’ll take it right now. I’m happy to toe the line for the safety of the country and am grateful for so much but it has been hard watching so many similar industries go back before make-up could! In this time it’s been really special to see creatives banding together to take care of and uplift one and other to get through it all. Just recently Belle Bridal were the one’s to shine a light on some of the wedding industries best on their website, of which I am endlessly flattered to be included in. There’s nothing quite like having your work appreciated and recommended by other incredibly talented people.

If you have an upcoming wedding or maybe you’re just curious you should totally take a look at their blog post here. As they explain in their post planning a wedding, or ‘wedmin’ as they call it, can be a bit of a stress. So take a load of and let their list of the hottest North Eastern wedding suppliers the UK has to offer do some of the work for you. With other wonderful MUA’s, hair stylists, spas and jewellers it will be a load of your mind to know these tried and tested suppliers have been selected by experts to make your day as radiant as you are. Of course if you are looking to book a make-up artist for your special day, or even just some tips on how to look after your skin or do your make-up yourself then don’t hesitate to pop me an email at jo@makeupbyjo.co.uk. I am so excited to start planning with you all again!
