As much as I am so happy to be back at work currently, during lockdown I did also love having some time to get my hands stuck into some DIY and decorating my home. From little bits to repainting my sash windows and clearing through all my products to make my home space a happier place! One of my favourite things I finally had the time to do if what I have lovingly named my 'Wall of Fame'. I decided it was time I put some of my accomplishments pride and place up on the wall, so I framed some of my front cover magazine shoots. It fills me with such pride to look at now as it did at the time of doing...

After what has felt like a really tough couple months work wise it's been a real treat to start to see things looking up, as of August the 1st I can finally get back to work and doing what I love! Albeit safely and with guidelines, I'll take it right now. I'm happy to toe the line for the safety of the country and am grateful for so much but it has been hard watching so many similar industries go back before make-up could! In this time it's been really special to see creatives banding together to take care of and uplift one and other to get through it all. Just recently Belle Bridal were the one's...

Showcasing Avon's Distillery Range at the Northern Wedding Show Late last year I was asked to head up a make-up team for the latest Northern Wedding Show by Belle Bridal. This year's partner for the show and demonstrations was Avon. They might not be everyone's first thought when it comes to bridal make-up, but with their new range Distillery it would be an oversight not to consider them for your big day's look. Distillery is all about clean living, creating beautiful products with out compromising the planet with their vegan ingredients, ethical mindset and eco conscious packaging choices. With...

Their contemporary men's and women's ranges especially designed for the bride, groom and their respective parties are tasteful modern pieces still in keeping with traditional wedding style to give your big day an extra...

If you cast your minds back to the end of July this year you might remember that crazy heatwave we had here in Europe. The weather was stunning and I was lucky enough to experience all that sunshine in a truly breathtaking setting in France at the Chateau Challain thanks to a shoot for Belle Bridal Magazine. Although it was beautiful the weather brought it's challenges and you can catch my blog post of behind the scenes with the star products I used to combat the extreme heat here, from making sure things stay put with any sweating to protection from the UV rays! Today I am here to share with...

Last week that crazy heat wave we were having struck during a major photoshoot I was working on with Belle Bridal Magazine. Working on set on the hottest day of the year was certainly challenging but getting to see the location in all its glory in the sunshine, the gorgeous lavender sunsets and the incredible work the team pulled together made it all worth it. Not to mention all the laughs, wine and cheese we had along the way! Our set for the few days was the magnificent Chateau Challain, a perfect fairytale chateau in the south western region of France. Built in 1854 by one of the most renowned...
