The Woman Behind The Brushes

Accounts to makeup artist

Would you believe me if I told you I never even considered makeup as a career when I was younger? That I wanted to be an accountant.. crazy right?!

My path to makeup has been a strange one. If I’m completely honest I fell into the beauty industry; I went from wanting to be an accountant at college, to trying my hand at office work and quickly realising that it wasn’t for me and my chatty nature. Cue 5 years later and I’d completed my training and was a qualified hairdresser & makeup artist. I then started on my journey with MAC cosmetics where I worked for over 3 years, developing as an artist and putting into practice everything I’d learnt by working on a range of skin tones, types and ages.

I have been specialising in bridal hair and makeup since 2015 and I entered The Wedding Industry Awards in 2018, which is like the BAFTAs for weddings suppliers and I was overjoyed to become a regional finalist which was such a massive achievement for me.

I love hearing all of the tiny details of a wedding, being able to build trust with my brides and helping them to feel beautiful and confident; being able to share such an intimate moment with my brides is something I’ll never take for granted.

I can’t wait to show you exactly why my clients voted for me.

Most days you’ll find me in my studio creating beautiful makeup and hair, with the odd day spent tapping away on my laptop with a cuppa and biscuit near by.

I married Mr B in 2014 on our 10 year anniversary & the travel bug got it’s claws into us; We’ve explored some incredible places from taking in the cultures of Sri Lanka to road tripping down the West Coast of America to island hopping through Bali.

We welcomed our little boy Finlay into the family fold in 2019 and he’s been in training ever since to become my assistant and regularly helps me with all of your enquiries & brush cleaning.. you may have seen this if you follow me on instagram!
