It's so important that for your wedding that you feel true to you, that's why I love doing bridal make-up. I get to be part of bringing your personality to life with my creative skills, which was definitely a big part of this weeks wedding feature. Bride Kitty is a someone who comes to mind when you’re thinking about individuality and style, which if you’ve been following along with my new brand Untitled No 1, you would know is quite literally what I’m all about. “Be your own no 1” is the core ethos of what we do at Untilted No 1, and I couldn’t help but feel artistically refreshed...
Another equinox inspired shoot from a few weeks back, as summer slipped into autumn END wanted to bring you a women's wardrobe refresh fit for the new season. Titled 'Best in Show' you best believe I brought my A game with the make-up to deliver END the uber natural look they love. Want to know more about how I achieve that minimalist glowing look? You can read it about it here and even find out about booking time with me to learn more!
For this particular campaign I picked WBCo to keep the skincare fresh and light with brows that are groomed to perfection. Then a touch of Ariane Poole's complexion...
It's time to let you into a little bit more of my work which doesn't relate to weddings. I love keeping up to date across all avenues in the make-up industry to ensure I'm always giving my brides the best that they can get. I've worked in this field for such a long time now and it never bores me, there's always fresh ideas, concepts and products arriving in unexpected corners of the make-up world and I am so grateful my varied work has given me such a wealth of experiences that I can then pass on to my brides.
I've posted about this brand here before but if you're new here then let me introduce...
Natalie's style and vision felt so clear as we finished our trial and I looked back down to my notes. Detailed descriptions of each feature left no stone unturned and I knew exactly all the perfect tools for the job to bring this beautiful look to life for her. When her wedding morning came around we got to work using the holy trifecta of skin prep products because it's the most important step for a successful look.
Waso Quick Matte Moisturizer left Natalie's skin hydrated but oil-free, a key step for those hot weather weddings. Ariane Poole's Pore Perfecting Face Primer to double down...
The 29th of July is more fondly known in the make-up world as National Lipstick Day, so what better than to have had my work featured online for Flanelle Magazine on that day! The work was created in collaboration with one of my all time favourite creatives Lee Scullion to showcase the results that can be achieved using the Jo Leversuch Brush Collection from Untitled No 1.
These up close and personal beauty shots leave nothing to hide, but only bold beauty on display. The skin prepped with SUQQU's Aquafons range allowed for the Ariane Poole Ultimate Face Tint to seamlessly melt...
I loved the trip to the Scottish Borders to be part of Caroline & Shea's wedding. Held in the beautiful Chirnside/ Kelso area, this part of the country never fails to impress me and makes for an idyllic wedding day backdrop.
With the weather blessing the lovely couple with a warm glorious day the countryside setting truly came to life under the warm glow of the sun.
A private wedding took place on the family farm where I endeavoured to replicate the aforementioned glow from the sunshine in Caroline's bridal make-up. It was important to Caroline her look was in keeping with the outdoor location...
It's time to break the rules and carve out our own path to modern beauty. This week I'm sharing with you how, armed with my Untitled No 1 brushes, I am creating my own version of just that. Featuring in F Word Magazine, an eclectic platform practically overflowing with up and coming talent featuring people from fashion, art, music, lifestyle fields.
Feeling inspired by the colours of the sky, the flowers and the insects of Spring and Summer Equinox seasons resulted in this delicate beautiful make-up look. Captured in a clean and perfected manner by none other than Lee Scullion. Later stitched...
This week I'm sharing with you my work with END. to mark the 35th anniversary of the Air Max 1. They were celebrating in style with the 'La Ville-Lumière' release especially for the anniversary and had me on board to create a look for the shoot. They had asked for a soft matte skin base which was perfect play off the harsh urban environment and the energy of these effervescent pastel sneakers.
It was nice to mix things up after playing with a lot of glow and shine in my work lately, so I was excited I got to do a more neutral matte effect. I achieved this by prepping the skin with a delicate...
Just like many of my 2021 weddings, Priyanka and Paul's felt like double the celebration. Another couple surrounded by their friends and family on October 23rd at Bolton Castle, all just over joyed to be together celebrating this day of love between the two after countless restrictions and lockdowns we had all endured globally. The pandemic has hit us all hard in so many ways, but seeing how people grasp the opportunity to live life to the fullest again when they finally get the chance to is really such a beautiful thing. That's the exact energy I felt as I helped Priyanka get ready for her special...
I'm still not quite over the whirlwind of 2021, so every time I receive more images of gorgeous weddings from last year I am still blown away by how we pulled together such beautiful moments in so much turmoil. I am so grateful amongst restrictions and lockdowns I still managed to get some wonderful time working with amazing brides at my second home, Middleton Lodge.
This time it was Caroline who I was blessed to be spending her wedding morning with. She loved make-up so much that she really relished the opportunity at the trial to deeply discuss all the different aspects of make-up and skincare....
