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,...

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...

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,...

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...

Now it's time to share the details on creating a look for our Newsletter this equinox.

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...
