Letting the jewellery do the talking, today's feature is in Foreign Look Magazine with ERJ Jewellery front and centre for the shoot. Think minimalism at its very best, this paired back style edit is no fuss and all thrills as ERJ make a statment far beyond the basic. The stark contrast of the styling and makeup really allow the pieces to shine and do all the talking.
When it comes to simple, skincare is key! Model Felicity got the Jo Leversuch 'Queen of Skin' special that includes my secret trick to natural, fresh faced makeup that you can read all about here. Layering Weleda Skin Food...

I'm so excited to share this blog with you as it was recently released that this shoot I worked on was submitted in Foreign Look Magazine!
Other than the brows being courtesy of some WBCo Soap Brow of course, this is a full SUQQU makeup and skincare look. I don't think I will ever get over how good their blushers look in person and in print. Of course their Aquafons skincare range too is the perfect prep to get the skin ready for some seriously close up shots. Complimenting the tones of the blush is a peachy glossy lip with a blurred edge for that dewy soft effect.
Adorned with...
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...
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...
I might be biased, but this week I've got a shoot to share with you from the best bridal dream team the North East has to offer! I love working with these two on shoots and weddings, it's always such a relaxed vibe, good laugh and the end results are always exactly what I envisioned. I think the results here speak for themselves at both of their talents.
You might recognise the photography style from last weeks blog, as it's none other than Lee Scullion I'm talking about who also shot the wonderful Leaf for her wedding. The member of our creative trio is Gareth Lambert, who never fails...
Where do I begin with the wedding of Mr and Mrs Goddard? As I am writing this blog post and scheduling it to go out, it is exactly two years ago we were put into that first fateful lockdown and all weddings were postponed until further notice. It feels like so much longer now as we all start to catch up with our new normal and almost everyone who has faced a postponement has finally said their vows. The mad rush to fit every Bride in and the non-stop work I have been ever so grateful for to get back on my feet, it's been a whirlwind.
Amongst that whirlwind was the wonderful...
If you've been looking for sustainable options for your wardrobe that will also keep you cool this summer, then let me introduce you to some luxurious linens made in the UK by Freya Lillie. I have worked with Michelle, the founder, on another shoot that will be launched during the autumn time but with the heat we've had and the opening up of the England I thought now was a great opportunity to share with you this shoot full of amazing pieces.
This stunning collection is made to order just for you, what can be more special than that? This way Michelle and her head designer Liv, also seen...
One of the many amazing aspects of my business it that I get to meet some really interesting people. It's such a wonderful opportunity to sit one to one with talented and brilliant humans to have a chit chat with them whilst I create their make-up looks ready for the day ahead. I've lost count of the admirable women I have been fortunate enough to work with, but working with Hilary to create new headshots was certainly up there as one of the most inspiring women in business!
I met Hilary Dunne many years ago and of course we clicked straight away, both of us being strong willed business women...
