Flashback to December at Halton Grove, it was such a beautiful winter's day in Northumberland.

I love collaborating with other artists just like I did with the ultra talented photographer Natalie Pluck for this spellbinding shoot with a bridal twist featuring Kate Fearnley Bridalwear. It's my favourite way to keep my mind fresh, meaning I'm primed and ready with creative solutions for my brides when they come to me.
The best wedding day base makeup looks like you were born with it, but deciding how to create my signature perfected skin is different for every face. It's my decades of editorial, runway and commercial projects that have armed me with the knowledge and skill to design the perfect...
I was connected to create the bridal makeup for Camilla & Charles' wedding by Emma Jordan Weddings as the couple flew in from state side to share their beautiful wedding with family and friends in one of Scotland's most incredible locations, Schloss Roxburghe.

It's just another day in the life for me, but a great insight into what to expect for soon to be brides. We often see the final results in beautifully shot and edited pictures by all the fantastic photographers of the North East, but sometimes it's equally as good to see some unfiltered iphone photos that give a more natural...
Tilly is one person I truly admire in so many ways, so I was really excited to have the opportunity to be working with the Newcastle legend again as makeup artist for this editorial shoot by Pattern.
Titled Radical Self Expression, its evident from our first shoot together when she was just 14 that Tilly has never been afraid to push the margins of celebrating individualism. Her personality and style is still just as iconic as the moment we met, she oozes determination, has an infectious zest for life and her endless positive energy fills every room she walks into.
It's incredible to see other...
