One of the main reasons I really love what I do for a living is the people that I meet. Amongst both the people hiring and working for this industry there are so many truly epic creatives that I am so grateful to have worked with. My make-up journey is filled with talented and inspiring people that I want to share with everyone I meet.
Talk Like Tigers
At the top of my list of fabulous creative people are two sisters Charlotte and Stephanie, better know in the musical world as Talk Like Tigers, who you absolutely must check out. If creativity and sass were people, Talk Like Tigers would be their...
Showcasing Avon's Distillery Range at the Northern Wedding Show
Late last year I was asked to head up a make-up team for the latest Northern Wedding Show by Belle Bridal. This year's partner for the show and demonstrations was Avon. They might not be everyone's first thought when it comes to bridal make-up, but with their new range Distillery it would be an oversight not to consider them for your big day's look. Distillery is all about clean living, creating beautiful products with out compromising the planet with their vegan ingredients, ethical mindset and eco conscious packaging choices. With...
Belle Bridal SS2020 Cover
From the front cover to the pages inside, I bring to you the 'Girl On Fire' editorial for Belle Bridal SS 2020.
I am super proud to be part of this editorial that was released in conjunction with The Northern Wedding Show celebrating and showcasing diversity in the wedding industry.

This important platform for representation of these women meant I wanted to make sure I did it justice with make-up. I chose to use none...

After finishing another show season earlier this year I landed back in the UK reeling with inspiration and excitement. Luckily for me that coincided with an opportunity to work with some new make-up I'd yet to try. I teamed up with coveted photographer Lee Scullion to put brush to skin and dip into my creative energy with a handful of new Shiseido products.
We wanted to create a photo set with japanese influences full of spirit that captured the essence of the moment with a warm and soft focus on the eyes as the windows to the soul. Beauty Modé is the crossroads where spirituality meets cosmetic...

Earlier in the summer in amongst the grounds of the stately georgian mansion Constable Burton Hall I spent the day as part of an incredibly talented team for L'officiel Hommes. The Gardens played set for model Jose Luis Lucero to work his magic in creating a playful menswear shoot that brought an air of youthfulness whilst still capturing the brands luxury country club chic essence. Providing my signature looks the skin was given a flawlesss finish to further enhance the look keeping it fresh, young and Beautiful birds from the Walsworth Castle Birds of Prey provided the finishing touch to a day of style,...
Once again that wonderful time of year for Spring Summer Fashion Weeks has come and gone and I have made it through all the beauty and busyness to share some of it with you. Here's a look back stage working for one of my favourite designers Erdem, presenting their new 2020 Spring/Summer collection at Grays Inn Gardens for London Fashion Week. The gorgeous show displayed bursts of bright floral prints on ankle length gowns paired with wide brimmed hats that brought together a chic victoriana vibe.
As always it was my pleasure to be part of the team for the legendary Val Garland for the day,...
I'm back again with another stylish shoot with contemporary brand for sourcing menswear, END. This time we were out on location with a geographically striking backdrop to shoot for the ASICS Gel Kinsei OG, which launched on the 29th of August through the END. Launches platform.
Again I was keeping it simple prepping the skin with some Bioderma skincare which always makes for a healthy supple base to create these fresh faced looks. After this I used neutral make-up by Nars with subtle tones to give the face a naturally dimensional and perfected finish.
Futuristic yet still in keeping with...
