Makeup

What a bride, what a wedding! Bride Hannah exuded a chic and cool energy, as you scroll through the amazing previews from Katy Melling you can tell that energy effortlessly flowed throughout the rest of her special day tying the knot with now husband Will. What I loved about working with Hannah for her bridal makeup was that her style for the day was the epitome of simplicity at it's very best. That's not to say there wasn't attention to detailing, it meant there was more attention to get those simple touches refined to perfection. It was a beautiful late September's day as Hannah...

This week I'm serving up a satin skin finish for a campaign with QP Jewellers! If you find yourself asking what has that got to do with wedding make-up, just take a look for yourself. The campaign exudes bridal beauty with an air of the ethereal, let this make-up inspire you for your own stunning rosy cheeked aisle style. As we enter into autumn I am forever taking my influences from nature. Switching things up with different SUQQU lipstick shades for each outfit but keeping everything else as is, a perfected skin base and a dark burgundy berry blush paying homage to the coming season. This equinox...

It's time to let you into a little bit more of my work which doesn't relate to weddings. I love keeping up to date across all avenues in the make-up industry to ensure I'm always giving my brides the best that they can get. I've worked in this field for such a long time now and it never bores me, there's always fresh ideas, concepts and products arriving in unexpected corners of the make-up world and I am so grateful my varied work has given me such a wealth of experiences that I can then pass on to my brides. I've posted about this brand here before but if you're new here then let me introduce...

Natalie's style and vision felt so clear as we finished our trial and I looked back down to my notes. Detailed descriptions of each feature left no stone unturned and I knew exactly all the perfect tools for the job to bring this beautiful look to life for her. When her wedding morning came around we got to work using the holy trifecta of skin prep products because it's the most important step for a successful look. Waso Quick Matte Moisturizer left Natalie's skin hydrated but oil-free, a key step for those hot weather weddings. Ariane Poole's Pore Perfecting Face Primer to double down...

I loved the trip to the Scottish Borders to be part of Caroline & Shea's wedding. Held in the beautiful Chirnside/ Kelso area, this part of the country never fails to impress me and makes for an idyllic wedding day backdrop. With the weather blessing the lovely couple with a warm glorious day the countryside setting truly came to life under the warm glow of the sun. A private wedding took place on the family farm where I endeavoured to replicate the aforementioned glow from the sunshine in Caroline's bridal make-up. It was important to Caroline her look was in keeping with the outdoor location...

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication " -Leonardo da Vinci     As I am sat writing this blog, Jade and her husband are soaking up their post wedding bliss whilst honeymooning in Italy. With italy in ming and reflecting on Jade's stunning wedding style I couldn't help but think this quote by Da Vinci summed up this first look at their wedding album so well.     I had met Jade many years ago at her best friends wedding so it was a huge compliment to me that she had seen my style of make-up and wanted it for her own wedding. She is all about...

I'm very specific when it comes to the skin base as you may know, it's what I am most known for in the make-up world and it takes a special product for me to consider using it as part of my perfected routines. I'm not a huge lover of layering lots of product onto the skin, so I can be very selective in what I'm using but as you will see in my video below I think Nanoblur has won me over to be worth adding in the kit!     As soon as I received the Nanoblur I knew I had to try it as soon as possible, it's become infamous since its use on HBO's Euphoria and all their awe inspiring...

In addition to the Original and Tinted Soap Brows, they now also offer the Extra Strong Soap Brows.

I recently received a review from a very happy customer who was one of the first to buy brushes from my new range and it was exactly what I was hoping people would feel when I started Untitled No 1 with these brushes. I loved what Harriet had to say about her Detailed Brush and thought it was the perfect way for people to get to know this brush so I'm going to share it with you here. For all the technical aspects she may mention the self care element is my favourite, because at the end of the day that's what is so important to me too! "After receiving my Detailed Brush from Untitled No 1 I couldn't...
