02 get to know
How long have you been doing hair and makeup?
My 12 years of hair and makeup experience has enabled me to work in the following sectors:- Magazines, Corporate photo shoots, beauty events and special occasions but my love and passion is really in the Wedding/Bridal sector. This is where I feel my happiest and for me makes most impact.
What are your career highlights?
This would have to be working on the Royal Wedding. I was lucky enough to do one of Meghan Markle’s best friends’ makeup at Coworth Park. I feel lucky to call this my job really as being a part of someone’s special day is always a highlight for me.
Why do you love working on weddings?
I am passionate about making all my brides feel and look flawlessly beautiful. Everyone’s beauty is unique to them. I love creating beautifully styled hair and makeup which naturally compliments each bride. I do pride myself on my ability to calm sometimes what can be a stressful atmosphere. I feel I have a warm nature and I love the whole experience from trial to the day of the wedding.
What are your must have products in your kit?
Charlotte Tilbury, I must say I do get on with and love most of her products - Beautiful Skin Foundation is a favourite also Armani Iluminous Silk foundation I absolutely love too! Laura Mercier tinted foundation this is a lighter consistency but with a good amount of pigment and coverage. Cream blushers are Devine and always use an under eye setting powder. Individual lashes are the best for weddings or occasions. They are so subtle and add some great volume and darkness to the lash. I do not know what I would do without my brushes – I have been adding to them for years , I have hundreds.
Fancy name dropping some publications you have worked on?
I am lucky enough to have been involved in the covers for “That’s Life” and “Take a Break” magazines, and also doing Tesco’s Christmas shoots.
