If you follow me on social media platforms you will see that I talk/tweet/post often about a lipstick range I just adore called Lipstick Queen. Lipstick Queen was founded when Poppy King was struggling to find that perfect red lipstick in her hometown of Melbourne Australia, therefore, she decided to create her own range. Twenty years on and the brand is going from strength to strength. Within the brand of Lipstick Queen there are separate ranges that consist of different textures. Today’s blog is about the range Saint. I love the Saint range which has 10% pigment which generally means...

If you are followers of my social media platforms you will notice that I talk a lot about Middleton Lodge and fondly call it my second home!! For me, Middleton Lodge in North Yorkshire, is a magical home where you feel like Lord and Lady every time you drive up to the front of the Georgian House. It has an amazing presence about the place and truly feels “like home”.  For weddings the building has the most impressive windows which, for me as a make-up artist, creates the perfect amount of natural light. I met Aileen for her pre-wedding make up trial a number of months before the actual...

I must admit myself I don’t wear foundation, I tend to prefer a light tinted moisturiser on my skin and use concealer as and where I need it. BB creams are generally as a rule slightly richer in texture and have more coverage than a tinted moisturiser. I was really pleased with the results of the latest BB Cream by Kiehl's which I have been using over the last couple of weeks. The main benefits of Kiehl's Actively Correctly...
