Lauren and I met many moon cycles ago at work when I was doing her makeup and she was just starting out as a model. I'm sure you'll be able to tell from her stunning wedding images she's very good at her job. From the beginning I always remember Lauren saying to me "Jo when I get married I want you to be there on the day creating the makeup”, which is honestly such a compliment considering within our industry Lauren has travelled the world working with countless amazing makeup artists on epic campaings, but she chose me for her special day and it was an absolute pleasure! When I first met lauren...

What a bride, what a wedding! Bride Hannah exuded a chic and cool energy, as you scroll through the amazing previews from Katy Melling you can tell that energy effortlessly flowed throughout the rest of her special day tying the knot with now husband Will. What I loved about working with Hannah for her bridal makeup was that her style for the day was the epitome of simplicity at it's very best. That's not to say there wasn't attention to detailing, it meant there was more attention to get those simple touches refined to perfection. It was a beautiful late September's day as Hannah...

Last weekend I spent my time at Lartington Hall meeting brides. During this time one of the main requests I received from the brides is that they felt make-up needs to look flawless with delicate approach to colour. I wanted to share with you some of the images of a look I created with this approach in mind and the products I used. In keeping with the delicate colours of the flowers, décor and the venue I wanted to keep a peachy hue with the makeup but add a black eyeliner for a hint of drama. For the eyeliner it was kept quite thick and heavy as opposed to the obvious winged cat flick eyeliner...

About twice a year I get to work for Katy of  What Katy Did Next.   I always get excited when she sends me a message to ask if I am available for a photo shoot for her latest collections. Katy has an amazing talent of creating some fabulous creations in headpieces as well as necklaces (which I have many in leather pieces) to the full length church veils. The latest collection “The New Botanical” is a mixture of using textures of rose gold and bronze. To compliment her beautiful collection I wanted to create a look that would suit both models on a similar aspect. Some of the looks...
