The coveted no makeup makeup look was on the menu for bride Hannah for her wedding with now husband Joe. It was the perfect choice for her bridal look and their venue of choice. A ceremony and reception situated in the heart of lake district, they took to the waters of lake windemere by boat and celebrated the night away at the Jetty Museum. A true celebration of love in a natural setting meant using makeup to uplift and celebrate the natural beauty of Hannah too. People will spend hours meticulously trying to refine the art of fake freckles, but Hannah is one of the lucky whose face is naturally...

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...

I love it when stylists from the fashion industry recommend me to brides for their wedding makeup! Specifically this time it was so fun because they knew their friend soon to be wed, Heather, would really want a modern, fashion forward approach to her look rather than current trends. Heather came to our trial armed with the knowledge of what she wanted, with plenty of references on hand and we quickly built a makeup style she loved. From taking notes from makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes for her glowing complexion to bringing in some Kate Moss vibes for defined cheekbones we filled out her face...

Makeup has never been as diverse as it is today, but a lot of us are still using the same old products that don't really serve us anymore. The incredible range on offer in 2023 means there's something for everyone, but it also leaves a lot of room for confusion. Ready for some clarity? A tailor made summer look personalised to your skin could be just £10 away! On the 7th, 8th and 9th of August I'll be at Kiss the Moon hosting 25 minute express summer make-over sessions each afternoon as part of their summer skincare week. Drawing from decades of expertise working on global runways, reknowned...

It's a short list of makeup products today, because this bride was all about natural beauty and that meant keeping things simple. It was the perfect way to kick off the summer in style as June rolled around for Victoria and James' wedding at Halton Grove, Northumberland. This fun couple know how to throw a party and Victoria's makeup was a celebration in itself of her afforementioned natural beauty. Her eyes were a dazzling shade of green that when paired with the warm-russet and metallic copper tones of Charlotte Tilbury's Copper Charge eyeliner, shone like emeralds. Bringing that same...

Have you noticed how humid it's been feeling lately? The summers here in the UK seem to be getting hotter every year, and I've been doing my research on exactly what's needed to keep you looking and feeling fresh all season long. British summertime is notrious for its heat being unlike others, the moisture in our air can really feel clammy and oppressive, a recipe for disaster for those of us wearing makeup. I've been spending decades refining my kit to make sure clients don't feel these effects, and this year I've been extra lucky travelling to work in even hotter climates and really putting...

Hot off the plane from Ethiopia, I arrived in Newcastle for what I'm dubbing as the wedding of the year so far! After working around the clock on a photoshoot in the swealtering heat of Addis Ababa, it was a quick turn around to get back to the UK and into wedding mode but wow was it worth it. I'm not sure words can really describe how beautiful Isabella and Dom's wedding was. A true representation of their love for one and other, their superstar team of suppliers transformed Newcastle Cathedral into an etheral, magical and cosy space to host their celebrations. Having secretly got married the day before...

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...
