Back when the summer weather was struggling to show it's face, I was busy working at Lemmington Hall trying my best to manifest all of the glowing sunny vibes on location with Ruby & Oscar with this floral inspired ethereal makeup style. As a luxury bridal makeup artist I couldn't help thinking of all the summer weddings lined up, I'm glad to see the forecast is looking brighter finally! I love working on these Roxoa group campaigns and collaborating with their super talented pool of artists, the creative humans I get to meet always leave me feeling refreshed and inspired for my bridal style...

Having worked with Ruby and Oscar for many years now, they know they can rely on me to bring only the best tools and tricks to set to create the perfect no-makeup makeup style that they love to feature so often in their campaigns.  It's not beyond the scope to sometimes play with a little colour to mimic the tones of their stunning jewellery, but for the most part it's all about the au naturale and letting their pieces be the shining star of each photo. The art of the barely there makeup style is one of the hardest elements to master in all of the different types of makeup. I've travelled...

Shoots always feel more gratifying when there's a deep background story and this united creative venture delivers just that. The Unity Collection is a collaboration of BeadWORKS in Northern Kenya and their European partners Sara Collins and Xenia von Poser.

A fair-trade certified social enterprise, BeadWORKS creates opportunities for 1300 pastoralist women across Northern Kenya to translate their traditional skills...

Missing balmy autumn beach days? This Emma Hedley Jewellery campaign is ready to transport you to warmer days as the temperatures continue to drop this December. That being said, this shoot actually took place on such a wild and windy day that we spent our time battling the elements with a smile and a laugh on the sand dunes of South Shields. You wouldn't know as photographer Claire Collinson captured incredible moments that look so blissful despite the weather, whilst the incredible model Hannah Shaw was effortlessly cool in the face of strong gusts. It's a real testament to the team that...

Simplicity at its finiest, I always enjoy working on the Gold Boutique shoots as I really resonate with the paired back feel they go for in the makeup brief. I created this look for their summer 2022 campaign, but I'm reviving it for Autumn 2023 because its got the perfect tonal cappuccino vibe to suit whats trending this season. That being said, what's in fashion and what's not, I'll never tire of this look. The golds and browns are timeless, but added with a delicate touch of eyeliner all you need is thick tights tucked into knee high boots and it's practically screaming Autumn.     Gold...

The Hepburn vibes are back! This time it's for QP Jewellers and their amazing summer campaign, ready to showcase 2023's delicate gemstone pieces that bring a summery elegance to any look. You could say I'm on a bit of a roll with my Audrey inspiration right now after my work for the Belle Bridal Issue 26 cover, she truly honed and defined the perfect classy makeup look that had the perfect little touch of attitude.  That's why of course this look had to keep the pop of drama in the cat eye eyliner flick, using Stila's Stay All Day Eyeliner for that sharp definition. Taking a slightly different...

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...

Another season means another Ruby & Oscar campaign, releasing the latest of their fine gemstone jewellery adorned with a mixture of natural and lab grown gemstones set in precious metals in a plethora of striking designs.    This spring collection was all about a pop of colour for the brand, which I think they've nailed with shades of delicious greens in the emerald collection and luxurious purple hues sparkling within the amethysts.   It was really fun to take this spring time inspiration with the team at Ruby & Oscar and translate it into makeup. I was feeling...
