Makeup

We are living in a world of being consumed by an influx of mascaras on the market and really not sure which ones to purchase, it truly is a mine field. Mascara have become such a personal aspect of make-up and everyone have their own preferences on how the luscious lashes should look. Do you get into the habit of asking friends what do you use? How do you create those eyelashes? I am a huge fan of the chunky mascara wand of a natural hair which creates a full thicker lash for me which I can create a heavier look by using an eyelash primer.

This week I am not going to write much about my latest blog … the images will do the talking! I can only say I was absolutely thrilled and so proud to be one of the shortlisted finalists for the latest i-D Magazine. The inspiration came from the era of Punk/Skins during the late 70's early 80's as i-D Magazine has just celebrated their 35th anniversary in the industry. I would like to thank Giorgio Armani for the lipstick … what a glorious red in shade 400. Below I have shared some photographs of my work for this shortlisted photoshoot with you:           Follow...

I am fortunate to have worked with La Di Da magazine on their front covers in some of the magazine's previous editions.   This latest edition was to showcase an "ascot theme" within the grounds and country house of Middleton Lodge in North Yorkshire.   The make-up was to keep it simple with a classic look.   You can also read the story 'Ascot Dahlings' relating to the front cover here

Twenty years on and the brand is going from strength to strength. Within the brand of Lipstick Queen there are separate ranges that consist of different textures. Today’s blog is about the range Saint. I love the Saint range which has 10% pigment which generally means...

If you are followers of my social media platforms you will notice that I talk a lot about Middleton Lodge and fondly call it my second home!! For me, Middleton Lodge in North Yorkshire, is a magical home where you feel like Lord and Lady every time you drive up to the front of the Georgian House. It has an amazing presence about the place and truly feels “like home”.  For weddings the building has the most impressive windows which, for me as a make-up artist, creates the perfect amount of natural light. I met Aileen for her pre-wedding make up trial a number of months before the actual...
