Ariane Poole Ultimate Face Tint

Bringing the freshest of faces to the north east shores of Saltburn sea front earlier this summer, North Yorkshire has never looked so balmy and blissful as it does in the glossy pages of the latest Sunday Girl Magazine. A brief rebranding as 'Sundae Girl' for the day, their catalogue of centering womanhood takes a sunny twist in their 14th release to celebrate the beauty and stylings of the season alongside the impressive ladies behind the artistry.   Featuring the iconic Pacittos, the dreamy shoot oozes a fun and cool energy as the gorgeous Vanessa & Imogen from Savalas Models...

Shoots always feel more gratifying when there's a deep background story and this united creative venture delivers just that. The Unity Collection is a collaboration of BeadWORKS in Northern Kenya and their European partners Sara Collins and Xenia von Poser. The idea of crafting a jewellery collection that would connect women around the globe originated back in January 2023 during a visit to meet the beaders of BeadWORKS in Northern Kenya. A fair-trade certified social enterprise, BeadWORKS creates opportunities for 1300 pastoralist women across Northern Kenya to translate their traditional skills...

I feel like mother nature has been teasing us with little previews of spring between these weeks of rain and it's truly got me day dreaming of those longer warmer days. To get you in the mood for spring too I'm sharing this soft, delicate campaign for the latest QP Jewellers launch. Fresh for Spring 2024 they're painting an airy pastel dreamscape with this shoot and the makeup turned out perfect for any brides thinking of a light seasonal look! I loved the close up shots showing the diffuse blending that gives such an etheral, romantic feel. Creating a healthy skinbase layer is essential for this...

The coveted no makeup makeup look was on the menu for bride Hannah for her wedding with now husband Joe. It was the perfect choice for her bridal look and their venue of choice. A ceremony and reception situated in the heart of lake district, they took to the waters of lake windemere by boat and celebrated the night away at the Jetty Museum. A true celebration of love in a natural setting meant using makeup to uplift and celebrate the natural beauty of Hannah too. People will spend hours meticulously trying to refine the art of fake freckles, but Hannah is one of the lucky whose face is naturally...

Simplicity at its finiest, I always enjoy working on the Gold Boutique shoots as I really resonate with the paired back feel they go for in the makeup brief. I created this look for their summer 2022 campaign, but I'm reviving it for Autumn 2023 because its got the perfect tonal cappuccino vibe to suit whats trending this season. That being said, what's in fashion and what's not, I'll never tire of this look. The golds and browns are timeless, but added with a delicate touch of eyeliner all you need is thick tights tucked into knee high boots and it's practically screaming Autumn.     Gold...

Hot off the plane from Ethiopia, I arrived in Newcastle for what I'm dubbing as the wedding of the year so far! After working around the clock on a photoshoot in the swealtering heat of Addis Ababa, it was a quick turn around to get back to the UK and into wedding mode but wow was it worth it. I'm not sure words can really describe how beautiful Isabella and Dom's wedding was. A true representation of their love for one and other, their superstar team of suppliers transformed Newcastle Cathedral into an etheral, magical and cosy space to host their celebrations. Having secretly got married the day before...

The Hepburn vibes are back! This time it's for QP Jewellers and their amazing summer campaign, ready to showcase 2023's delicate gemstone pieces that bring a summery elegance to any look. You could say I'm on a bit of a roll with my Audrey inspiration right now after my work for the Belle Bridal Issue 26 cover, she truly honed and defined the perfect classy makeup look that had the perfect little touch of attitude.  That's why of course this look had to keep the pop of drama in the cat eye eyliner flick, using Stila's Stay All Day Eyeliner for that sharp definition. Taking a slightly different...

Having worked with Belle Bridal for many years now, it was so wonderful to be part of this celebration with them as they release Issue 26, a 250+ page special commemorating 25 years of serving up epic wedding inspiration. Featuring their biggest ever bridal beauty edit, these editorial shoots are arguably some of their most beautiful to date. The brief for this shoot was an absolute dream for me, ticking all the boxes what I love to do most. Glowing editorial skin, with those three words I immediately pictured the look and what I'd need from my kit to bring the magic to life. The main emphasis...

It's only right that I see 2022 out with some of my favourite images of the year for our last blog post before 2023 rolls around!   This sensational shoot for F Word Mag with photographer and director Asia Werbel is positively dripping with her creative style. Collaborating with Asia is always so unconventional and fun, it's really exicting to push the boundaries outside of everyday beauty together.   Titled DYSTOPIA, the imagery explores the world of single use plastics and represents the smoothering effects they have on our planet. A poignant note to consider as we step into a fresh...
