Sit back and take a closer peek behind the scenes of Jessie's August wedding, as we spend the morning together getting her radiant, natural bridal glam together. We had such a lovely relaxed and chatty time together as we reviewed her face chart from her trial and got to work building her dreamy wedding day look. These images captured by Your Wedding Story by Chiyo and Kirk are such a great insight into those delicate moments that are a huge part of setting a bride up for a perfect day ahead. Each step I take as a bridal MUA are essential in laying a great foundation for what's to come, both literally...
This evening the Sun will cross the celestial equator, marking the start of Autumn for 2025. Whilst a dramatic shift in climate may have felt apparent all September long, today is when the true change happens and that means it's time to set our intentions for the season ahead.
If Summer is a journey of discovery and development, Autumn is the time to harvest and take stock of all we've learnt. To close out my months of self discovery, I was so glad to have taken part in The Lonely CEO Retreat at Kip & Nook to prepare me for the equinox.
More than just business retreat, The Lonely...
As we come to the end of another heat wave here in the North East I thought it was the right timing to share my recent work with END. for their curated Warm Weather Essentials editorial. The ideal edit for casual cool girl seasonal chic, END. have pulled together the wardobe staples to keep you comfortable and on trend all summer long.
The vibrant collection carries a playful tone throughout that I wanted to compliment by giving the make-up a glossy sunkissed summer energy. Whilst a juicy pout and rosy cheeks bring an intriguing pop of contrast, it's the overall radiance that's the star of the show...
It’s a time of celebration here in the Northern Hemisphere as we welcome the energy of the sun. Earlier this month, on the 21st of June, the Summer Solstice arrived to embrace us in its energetic glow.
Starting at 3.41am that morning the longest day of 2025 began, marking the start of the season, and over at my beauty brand Untitled No1, we’re ready to bask in the vitality of a summer time. Marked in the calendar for millennia, humans have long honoured this day as a symbolic sign of the abundance to come.
Following in the footsteps of those like the pagans, welcoming their own version Litha,...
Renewal, new beginnings and shifting perspectives, the Spring Equinox is here to refresh your spirit. It's the season of clarity, and whilst none of us hold the crystal ball, we do hold the power to create our own journey. Open up like the delicate crocus and bloom. Step into the swirling energy of an abundant spring and recharge after the sleepy winter months.
It's time to embrace the enlightenment of what is ahead. What does the future hold for you? For me, renewal starts in the home. Spring cleaning the house, reorganising what brings me joy and removing what doesn't. Even simply sorting...

Born to Perform - A brand statement that these founders truly meant, Ed and Andy are both West End London performers used to sweating through gruelling schedule of rehersals for their own performances. A background that inspires confidence when you find out the product behind the brand in question is a natural yet powerful deodorant balm. Under the hot stage lights and long hours of dedicated physical work, these two know what it means to need a deodorant you can rely on.
That's just one of the reasons why I picked up the AKT Deodorant Balm, what really sold it to me was the consideration...
This week I wanted to write about my latest new love, an amazing brand called Õrn Kuu founded by a fellow hair and makeup artist Alice. Having suffered with severe eczema and contact dermatitis for her whole life, searching high and low for remedies, Alice wanted to create a skincare brand that ticked all the boxes she felt was missing on the market. She became a certified organic skincare formulator after finding relief in blends of plant oils, butters and extracts so she could share her secrets with the world at Õrn Kuu.
Centering on the idea of holistic wellness, a connection to nature...
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...
