About twice a year I get to work for Katy of  What Katy Did Next.   I always get excited when she sends me a message to ask if I am available for a photo shoot for her latest collections. Katy has an amazing talent of creating some fabulous creations in headpieces as well as necklaces (which I have many in leather pieces) to the full length church veils. The latest collection “The New Botanical” is a mixture of using textures of rose gold and bronze. To compliment her beautiful collection I wanted to create a look that would suit both models on a similar aspect. Some of the looks...

My last blog of the year I wanted to celebrate some beauty work which I created for the front cover of La Di Da Magazine. If you are unable to get your hands on a copy click on the link below: http://www.ladida.co.uk/magazine/   Check out Page 12 for another glimpse of another look created using blue eyeshadow perfect for New Year's Eve party.

I love receiving surprise parcels in the post especially when it involves make-up! This week I received the Limited Edition for Christmas by Lola Make-up. The limited edition: All in one Mascara and the Duo Kajal and eyeliner.   I had to try them all straight away so I could see what I thought.   I personally normally rock the “smoky eye” look and rarely do I try the cat flick eyeliner look on myself. The All in One Mascara is what is says on the bottle, the mascara wand is a perfect size to create a lushious look on the eyes. The Duo Kajal and eyeliner I have at the moment...

In my career and running my own business as make-up artist there is never any month, week or even day that I can't say I am proud to be part of a creative aspect in the industry. Over the last couple of months I have been working on tutorials for a truly amazing brand Veil Cover Cream. I can now announce in my sheer excitement that I am their Make-up Ambassador. This has brought me to tears at the honour of being part of the brand Veil Cover Cream. Veil Cover Cream was founded in 1952 by Mr Thomas Blake.   The cover cream was created to hide post-operative scars and has continued success...

A day in the life of Jo.   No two days are ever the same with my business and recently I was working with photographer Chris Davis whom I have worked with a lot on some major exciting projects.  He asked me to work with him to help create this amazing  look for the new Jim Steinman"s Bat out of Hell The Musical, which is showcasing February 2017 onwards. Make-up kit packed and off I headed to the Holborn Studio London and I had goosebumps when I heard the roar of a Harley Davidson motorbike arriving into the studio.  The whole focus on the day was to create the make-up with a "modern feel...

Whilst working during London Fashion Week and assisting alongside the one and only truly amazing inspirational and creative Val Garland for the delightful designer Temperley London, I got the chance to try the new make-up collection and lipsticks by Rodial called Suede Lips.

The Rodial Suede Lips were the first lipstick to be launched straight after the Temperley Show and available to buy online...
