You know that feeling you get, when you're trying on new lipsticks and you finally find THE perfect colour? Or when you find the perfect pair of shoes that just make you feel you can strut your stuff and own it? That feeling of elation, that confidence, that joy, is what I strive to offer each and every one of my clients. 

I love weddings. I love make-up, I love making people happy, and I’m quite creative. So it was a dream come true to be able to turn my passions into a career, and I still have to pinch myself that I get to do something which I love every day!  It's not a job. It's a privilege. 

I haven't always been a make up artist. I have a psychology degree, In addition to qualifications in British Sign Language, event management and counselling. I've worked in fashion and bridal retail too (weirdly ALL of which have helped me as a make up artist!). 

​

Fate stepped in, at a time when I was becoming disillusioned with where life was headed. I was bored, stuck in a rut and fed up having my working day mapped out by someone else. I had started a side job working for a "sell at home" cosmetics company, and loved making my clients and hosts look and feel fantastic.  It was like I had found my calling, and after a while a couple of my regulars asked me to be involved in their weddings. I took a chance, and I have NEVER looked back. I delved further into professional training courses which focused on a more natural, beauty based make up aesthetic and spent time at the prestigious Illamasqua School of Make up. 

​

Over the last 16+ years, I have achieved more than I could have hoped for. I've won multiple awards. I've been published many times in esteemed publications. And my work even appeared on a huge billboard!!! But, most importantly, I have helped make over 1000 brides look and feel their most beautiful on their special day. And that is priceless to me. I call myself a "wedding specialist" because, on the day, I'm not there to just do your make up. I'm there as a friend, a fixer, a cheerleader, someone who has got your back. I turn up at a venue and the staff breathe a sigh of relief as they know the brides in very trustworthy hands. 

And in all my years, I have never, EVER had a bride late on my watch!
