Painless Magazine Summer Edition has launched and with it my latest feature, where I talk all about how you can use skincare and cosmetics to cultivate authentic confidence. I touch on the core values that run through all of my work, whether that's with Untitled No 1 and my Make-up Brush Range, as a bridal MUA, or even in my editorial and commercial work. It's a strong belief that beauty begins with emotion and feeling. It's a commitment to authenticity in every style I've ever created because it's rooted in those personal traits of raw spirit. When you use beauty as an extension of identity,...

Belle Bridal have once again brought together the best of the North East's wedding industry to create the most luxurious catalogue of gasp worthy bridal inspiration. As the make-up artist on location for the cover shoot, it was such a pleasure as always to collaborate and make magic for Issue 29. For the look think sunshine and SUQQU, premier pigments and top shelf formulations painted with precision for a feminine soft summer fantasy.

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,...

It'd had been a while since I'd stepped foot on the grounds of the beautiful Runa Farm, perhaps since the incredible pop up wedding show by Belle Bridal in 2022! But I was so happy to be back as a bridal makeup artist to enjoy a morning full of warm bubbling energy as I helped Helena get ready for her wedding day. I'm so grateful to Sasha Lee Photography for capturing some of those MUA moments with Helena and her bridal party where you can really feel the excitement building up. Sitting on the intersection where rustic charm meets etheral magic, Runa Farm is a real gem on the Durham wedding venue...

Spring Equinox has come and gone, and last month I shared my brand Untitled No 1's top picks for getting ready for the season ahead here on the blog and our Newsletter. Now it's time to share the details on creating a look for our Newsletter this equinox. Each quarter I love working with North East creatives to bring together art that represents that each period, and for the Spring Equinox it was that feeling of renewal, new beginnings and shifting perspectives. Even for when it comes to bridal work, so much of the wedding make-up I create is seasonally influenced for each individual bride, so it's...

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...
