Get the look – nude cut crease glam

Do you love the cut-crease look? Some of the cut-crease looks you see on social media can very dramatic and bold but might not necessarily feel wearable for “most” people but the beauty of makeup is that it’s all about personal preference. If we all looked the same or liked the same things the world would be a very dull place. I prefer to create beautiful looks that “feel” wearable as well as looking beautiful too. So, this is my version of the natural cut-crease look as modelled by stunning Min Cai (represented by TTM Model Management). Preparation… Min’s skin...

Bridal makeup – a look back through 2018

Looking back through all of the weddings I did last year I have so many favourite looks – some seasonal, some natural, quite a few sparkly glam looks and even a Lord of the Rings inspired wedding. From starting earlier than normal, weddings were busy all through the year. Summer weddings have always been popular but I had bridal bookings starting from February all the way through to 28th December. I had 6 Christmas weddings this year and I absolutely loved going to the festively decorated venues getting my girls ready. Throughout last year I also had 3 personal...

Can you make a CHANGE to cruelty free makeup?

If you were aware of the painful experimentation animals were subjected to in order for us to use certain cosmetics, would it make you think about the products you buy? A couple of months ago I decided to research animal testing for cosmetic use – because firstly I am an animal lover. I adore animals and rescued my own dog who is one of my biggest loves in life! Toby – the westie – with the cutest face and the funniest personality. Secondly, I was one of those people who used to get really angry when people would share...

Veil Cover Cream – A must-have for my makeup kit!

As a professional makeup artist, my kit is hugely important and I rely on using quality, high performance products when working on jobs – from brides, events/shows and magazine editorials. I also travel around a lot for work so I am always looking ways to travel lightly and efficiently. This is especially important when working on location for photoshoots. A little while ago I was introduced to a brand called Veil Cover Cream. Initially I had heard about Veil when I was looking for a good quality camouflage makeup brand – I had a bridal client who had a large...

My favourite bridal makeup looks

Your wedding day should make you feel a million dollars and choosing your bridal makeup for the big day can be a daunting task. Some brides have a very clear vision of how they see themselves on their wedding day – having already imagined their dress, hairstyling and makeup since the first date (maybe the second – as well as practising their new signature?!)… obviously I never did this (!)….anywaaaaay…. for some brides, choosing suppliers can feel a bit like “where do I start?”. Firstly, I fully recommend doing your research. Ask around for recommendations, look for recent reviews on...
