Makeup

Bamburgh Castle may be an awe inspiring, scene stealing setting of the British North East, but it played only a supporting role as beautiful backdrop as bride Alex took the limelight for her wedding to groom Mike. Seeing the most gorgeous couple, dancing the day away amongst the sprawling grounds, brings to mind a favourite quote of mine. "Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time." Alex's makeup was simply Reese Witherspoon inspired, as she reminded me so much of the actress and the look she wanted to wear on her wedding day matched so perfectly. With a focus...

A fresh new look at the at Forcett Hall shoot with Rebelle Marketing, this time through the lens of Phoebe Lenderyou. The Richmond estate provided a backdrop of grandeur whilst the incredible team brought together by Belle Bridal set a scene of true bridal fantasy. After sharing the cover story for Belle Bridal Issue 30 last post, this preview of Phoebe’s gallery shares a deeper look into the incredible day behind the shoot. With all the models on the day I started with my same tried and tested skin prep methods, focusing on deep hydration and enlivening the skin with careful massage and nourishing...

Sharp silky tailoring and striking satin skin, this dramatic look is another from the content shoot with Belle Bridal Magazine and Rebelle Marketing, captured by Bowness Film. Model Ellie sports elevated silhouttes and a next level dewy glam that brings an editorial edge to Wyresdale Park. Her high set cheek bones called for a rich bronzed radiance using REFY Cream Bronzer, whilst a dark smokey eye domninates with purpose for a attention grabbing bridal look. Using SUQQU's Signature Colour Eyes S01 SHIMOOCHIBA Palette from their Winter 2025 collection, I was able to sweep a generous gradient...

Sit back and take a closer peek behind the scenes of Jessie's August wedding, as we spend the morning together getting her radiant, natural bridal glam together. We had such a lovely relaxed and chatty time together as we reviewed her face chart from her trial and got to work building her dreamy wedding day look. These images captured by Your Wedding Story by Chiyo and Kirk are such a great insight into those delicate moments that are a huge part of setting a bride up for a perfect day ahead. Each step I take as a bridal MUA are essential in laying a great foundation for what's to come, both literally...

It's late summer at Maften Hall and the sun's rays are beaming down on the palatial grounds, bathing the estate in a warm and inviting glow. I know that might be hard to imagine right now as the Autumn rains continue shower the north east, but step inside this Belle Bridal shoot for a sneak peak at their upcoming wedding inspiration featuring luxury bridal makeup, timeless architecture and modern styling. Set in 300 acres of unique parklands, Maften Hall is Northumberland’s first and only 5 star hotel. As such that meant my job as MUA was to bring first-class products, techniques and finishes...

In late August, an unrivaled burst of colour and energy took over The Garden Room in Newcastle's contemporary wedding venue The Biscuit Factory as Stephanie and Andrew celebrated their newly wedded bliss. If it isn't clear from these snaps by Margarita Hope Photography, every inch of this unique space was elevated this couple's laughter, love and exquisitely bold taste. Creating a bridal makeup for Stephanie was an honour knowing her keen eye good style that became clear as we spoke at lengths about her vision. After an enjoyble chat all about my signature work at her trial to find out just what...

This evening the Sun will cross the celestial equator, marking the start of Autumn for 2025. Whilst a dramatic shift in climate may have felt apparent all September long, today is when the true change happens and that means it's time to set our intentions for the season ahead. If Summer is a journey of discovery and development, Autumn is the time to harvest and take stock of all we've learnt. To close out my months of self discovery, I was so glad to have taken part in The Lonely CEO Retreat at Kip & Nook to prepare me for the equinox. More than just business retreat, The Lonely...

In the early hours of August 16th Jessie's home was just buzzing with energy. I arrived to a house filled with laughter and happiness as she and her bridesmaids prepared for the day ahead, it was such a lovely warm environment to step into. I've known Jessie for many years so I knew that my morning with her would be nothing short of joyful, but to be able to help her capture the inner-happiness that she exudes and turn it into an outward expression as a radiant bridal makeup look was an absolute honor. She of course had requested my signature glowing perfected skinbase, which was started by taking...

The vibrant collection carries a playful tone throughout that I wanted to compliment by giving the make-up a glossy sunkissed summer energy. Whilst a juicy pout and rosy cheeks bring an intriguing pop of contrast, it's the overall radiance that's the star of the show...

It’s a time of celebration here in the Northern Hemisphere as we welcome the energy of the sun. Earlier this month, on the 21st of June, the Summer Solstice arrived to embrace us in its energetic glow. Starting at 3.41am that morning the longest day of 2025 began, marking the start of the season, and over at my beauty brand Untitled No1, we’re ready to bask in the vitality of a summer time. Marked in the calendar for millennia, humans have long honoured this day as a symbolic sign of the abundance to come. Following in the footsteps of those like the pagans, welcoming their own version Litha,...
