About me

​

I began my beauty career at 17.

Thirty years later, makeup is still something I feel incredibly lucky to call my work.

Over those three decades, I've worked with high-profile clients, iconic fashion brands and professional photographers, had my work featured in glossy magazines and spent ten years teaching makeup artistry at college.

I became a Charlotte Tilbury Accredited Pro Artist in 2016 and have continued to work professionally across beauty, fashion, photography and bridal.

But bridal is where my heart has always been.

Because there is something very special about being trusted with someone's wedding morning.

​

​

Experience changes everything.

After 30 years, I don't need to follow a trend to know whether something works.

I know how makeup behaves in different light.

How it needs to translate from the mirror to photographs.

How to work with mature skin, sensitive skin and everything in between.

How to make makeup last through happy tears, hugs, champagne and hours of photographs.

And, perhaps most importantly, how to make a bride feel completely at ease.

My approach is calm, instinctive and highly personal.

I want you to look in the mirror and see yourself — just beautifully elevated.

​

From Scotland to Cornwall.

I moved from Scotland to Cornwall in 2023 and quickly fell in love with its coastline, slower pace and extraordinary beauty.

Today, I work with brides throughout Cornwall and for selected destination weddings beyond.

I deliberately keep my diary limited so that I can give every bride the same level of attention, care and expertise.

A little more about me.

Away from weddings, I'm a Wife, mum to two boys and dog mum to two rescue greyhounds.

Life outside work is deliberately simple.

Family, dogs, good food, beautiful places and the occasional glass of something lovely.

And after 30 years in beauty, I still get excited when I see a bride look in the mirror and realise:

“This is exactly how I wanted to look.”

That's the bit I never get tired of.
