These shots were taken in Staithes, North Yorkshire and the make-up I have created was influenced by a 1960's vibe.

As the colder months are ahead of us we are now switching our central heating on and finding that our skin is becoming more dehydrated and dryer during these autumnal /winter months.  In the need of trying to find products to boost the skin I have listed below a few of my favourites which are my “go to” essentials during these months.
