This Spring Ruby & Oscar are feeling the elements as their latest campaign for the upcoming season embraces the four essential facets of life. This was such a fun concept to jump into, I knew exactly how I wanted to lean into the style from the moment their Head of Marketing sent me the brief.
So whether you're going with the flow like Water, down to Earth, getting all Fired up or you're feeling Airy and ethereal this campaign has all the matching makeup and jewellery combo's you could wish for.
When thinking about how to represent each of the elements I knew I wanted makeup that would cover...
My latest work with QP Jewellers was for the AW23 collection, and one thing about working on campaigns is how funny to be preparing for seasons you're not in! This shoot took place some months ago yet we spent the day getting into the Christmas spirit even though the days were still long and warm. However its finally the perfect time to share it now as the festive season is well and truly upon us.
Leaning in to the Christmas theme it was all about luxury for the looks on set, so I gave the models a full luxe experience using all SUQQU products to amp up the opulent energy. There's a real...
Viva Magenta is all the rage for 2023 according to the official Pantone Colour institute and this shoot for Ruby & Oscar's hasn't shied away from leaning into the pink craze. As colour of the year, it's here to embody a fearless empowerment that's unconventional yet captivating. The makeup on this shoot had to be on par with the bold statement these summer gemstones were making, that's where my latest obession with Lisa Eldridge's range comes in.
The True Velvet Lip combo of Lipstick and Gloss in Carnival was exactly the striking pink I was looking for to represent the adventurous spirit of Pantone's...

Spring is almost here and it's time to get in the mood for the fast approaching wedding season, I've got the perfect throw back for it! A true summertime wedding from 2022, Bride Julia and her Groom Christopher had a traditional ceremony at a beautiful local church before continuing the celebrations at Wynyard Hall.
It was a bright and sunny morning and Julia was beaming equally with nerves and excitement as we prepared her for the day of romance ahead. The brief was to create a makeup look to enhance the elegance of the already wonderful bride, taking vision from the delicate bouquet...
This week I'm serving up a satin skin finish for a campaign with QP Jewellers! If you find yourself asking what has that got to do with wedding make-up, just take a look for yourself. The campaign exudes bridal beauty with an air of the ethereal, let this make-up inspire you for your own stunning rosy cheeked aisle style.
As we enter into autumn I am forever taking my influences from nature. Switching things up with different SUQQU lipstick shades for each outfit but keeping everything else as is, a perfected skin base and a dark burgundy berry blush paying homage to the coming season. This equinox...
This week I'm sharing with you my work with END. to mark the 35th anniversary of the Air Max 1. They were celebrating in style with the 'La Ville-Lumière' release especially for the anniversary and had me on board to create a look for the shoot. They had asked for a soft matte skin base which was perfect play off the harsh urban environment and the energy of these effervescent pastel sneakers.
It was nice to mix things up after playing with a lot of glow and shine in my work lately, so I was excited I got to do a more neutral matte effect. I achieved this by prepping the skin with a delicate...
The sun might be gracing us with plenty of its presence lately, but it certainly wasn't for this Gold Boutique summer shoot back in the end of April! Out on location in the hip area of Newcastle, luckily for us the Ouseburn boasts some super cool graffiti filled arches and walkways that perfectly reflect the intended vibe for the final images. They offered an amazing backdrop and some refuge from the heavens opening before heading to the studio for some close-ups.
When I was considering the make-up I looked over the moodboards I was sent and really felt instantly inspired by the street style...
Another week sharing some fresh kicks with you, this time in the form of the hotly anticipated Nike revamp of the iconic Air Huarache OG to mark 30 years of Tinker Hatfield's iconic running style. World famous among sneakerheads the Scream Green colourway deserved my signature perfected skin treatment to keep that focus on the classic minimalist silhouette that's dripping in 90's vibes.
As the client wanted to keep the skin looking fresh and clear I opted to prep the skin with Shiseido's oil free range. Their Waso Oil Free products are ideal for creating a completely matte finish on the skin...
I have had so many proud moments in my career but this has well and truly hit the top of my list. Over the years I have used and adored Soap Brow whilst I watched West Barn Co, the family run business that produces it, grow from strength to strength. They have really come into their own with some brilliant products for both professional make-up artists and everyday consumers who just love make-up!
For this shoot I was hired by WBCo as they wanted to update their website and social media with some new and exciting products which will be launching soon. Being part of this team and this...
