About Me
I thought I’d take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about myself
I’ve been doing this so long but I never forget where i started!
I have been very lucky to have the success i have had our the past 15 years, I started before make up became a trend, Instagram became inspiration and a lot girl branded themselves a make up artist.
I try not to follow trends and just keep to what I’ve always done, which is to create a natural, timeless bridal hair and makeup look that will never go out of trend. I have loved been apart of 1,000’s and 1,000’s of wedding
My experience makes me much quicker at most when creating the popular styles. I am honestly rubbish on social media and over the years i have kept my service more private.
Hair and make up is an essential part of your bridal look and needs to be perfect to reflect you.
My speciality as a make up artist is to create a natural, romantic, timeless looking make up. My style of make up will always be in fashion, classic, elegant, natural and beautifully flawless. I believe make up should define natural beauty and not be used to change our features.
About My Experience
I feel my background lead to my success.
Since being very young I’ve always had a flair for art and to be creative and I’ve always been inspired my make up artistry, so this directed me in my career path to do something I love.
Since school I was lucky enough to join a lovely group of girls in a local busy town centre salon as a Saturday girl. I loved the salon environment, meeting and greeting clients and decided to go to college and learn beauty therapy.
After a couple of years I completed a BTEC National Diploma in beauty therapy sciences and started full time work at Escape Beauty Salon in Chesterfield. In two and a half years I gained some fantastic experience and techniques that I couldn’t live with out to day. Thank you girls!. Although i loved working alongside an outstanding group of therapists in a always popular salon I wanted to follow my passion for make-up. I then decided to go back to collage full time to learn theatrical and media make up.
I studied at a college in Retford for a year and learnt from professional make-up artists the techniques in hair and make –up that I use in my work today. After leaving collage I decided to work freelance and enter the world of weddings, specialising in hair and make up to be of service to brides on their special day. I love being part of someones special event, it’s an amazing atmosphere to work in and I enjoy every minute of my job!
During this time I had worked for MAC cosmetics!!! I worked for MAC for over a year and learnt some fantastic tips and techniques. I still work with a wide range of MAC cosmetics.
Im always learning new tips and techniques but still the old ones are the best.I feel that make up should define your natural beauty and not be used as a mask to change the way we look. You’ll still recognise your self in year to come with a natural timeless look.
I love my job and I always try my very best, sadly i didn’t study at Hogwarts school of magic, therefore sometimes I’m not able to create a look that’s not realistic. I think that bride shouldn’t try to change who they are or try to look like someone else, just be the most beautiful version a of you on your wedding day. I’m confident i can achieve that for any bride, with advice, time, patience and by working together.
