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...
If you're equal parts into fitness and fashion, you might have already seen that back in January END released the Work Out Edit. This is a super cool showcase of their women's wear workout selection that was tailor made to help you kick of the new year in the fitness industry's finest and I loved being part of it.
It may be February now but lets keep 2022 going in style and comfort with some of these pieces that bring together the best of the modern and the retro. They have an eclectic mix of styles for what ever kind of exercise you want, for you to feel your best whilst performing your best....
Natasha and Luqman lit up North Yorkshire with glitz and glamour, when you find out their wedding was planned in just three months you wouldn't of believed it. The day was filled with style with Natasha herself donning Vivienne Westwood and Jimmy Choo, whilst her mum opted for the best mother of the bride outfit I think I've yet to see topped with a Valerie Millinery hat. I would guess that they may well have been some of Grantley Hall's finest dressed guests to date.
For a fabulous day filled with fashion, jazz bands, fireworks and most importantly love it was important Natasha's make-up look...
You might recall me blogging back in the spring about an incredible British Brand where local seamstresses create sustainable linens, Freya Lillie. That's because we were looking behind the scenes on location at their AW21 shoot, which has now been published in Flanelle Magazine just in time for us to get in the autumnal spirit! You can get a glimpse of their latest line of luxury linens that are made to order and fit your body like a glove. Whilst these may be an Autumn release, the gorgeous breathable fabrics are wardrobe staples for all year round.
It was my first time using some new Stila...

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...
This week's blog is something super fun, it's so cool to look back over at the final product now it's been released. Recently I joined the team over at END. for a shoot paying homage to the phoenix-like resurgence of the OG Nike Dunk throughout 2020.
They've opted to use a yearbook style format to cast each pair in a manner that emulates the varisty nostalgia they so deserve as the 'Class of 2020'. After all 35 years in the making this franchise is still going from strength to strength continuing its legacy and the rich culture behind them. For me my task was to work along side the production...
If you were paying attention on my last blog chatting about the beautifully creamy Jillian Dempsey Lip and Cheek Tints, then you may have spyed my new favourite jumper from Jumper Gang. Well if you didn't you totally should head over there right now to check out that glowy goodness, otherwise lucky for you I am here to share the details about these super cosy jumpers.
This jumper was the brain child of Emily Radjen, a fellow make-up artist and working in theatre and ballet with the likes of the highly acclaimed Matthew Bourne. Due to the Covid pandemic there have been a multitude of restrictions...
Yep that's right, I've been back at it again with my favourite musical duo Talk Like Tigers and I'm bringing you the behind the scenes to see our day full of 80's synth pop, glitter and glam! If you hadn't already read my earlier blog about working on their last shoot then you will have missed me raving about how much I adore this rising indie-pop dream team of sisters Charlotte & Stephanie. For this shoot we were creating looks to film their music video for latest release 'Annabel's Calling' which you can watch down below!
Whilst they're bring some serious throwback vibes with their...
As much as I am so happy to be back at work currently, during lockdown I did also love having some time to get my hands stuck into some DIY and decorating my home. From little bits to repainting my sash windows and clearing through all my products to make my home space a happier place! One of my favourite things I finally had the time to do if what I have lovingly named my 'Wall of Fame'. I decided it was time I put some of my accomplishments pride and place up on the wall, so I framed some of my front cover magazine shoots. It fills me with such pride to look at now as it did at the time of doing...
