Gemma Rimmington – Makeup Artist of the Year Yorkshire Prestige Awards

Not bad when you’re flying solo! It’s a scary thing putting your name to your business). I admire anyone who starts their own business with...

However Brow Lamination (brushed up brows) seems to be a trend that isn’t going away so I decided to complete my qualification and I am now offering this...

The perfect vegan friendly makeup brush set

If you follow me on my social media, you may have seen my recent posts about the exciting new launch of my own range of vegan friendly makeup brushes.

So I’ll tell you...
