Looking for a perfect Christmas present that’s thoughtful, personal, and totally guilt-free? This year, give the gift of cruelty-free beauty! As a Nottingham-based makeup artist who’s passionate about ethical, vegan-friendly products, I’ve put together a few gorgeous gift ideas that are perfect for the beauty lovers (or self-care queens!) in your life, that also support little old me as small business owner.

I've been teaching 1-2-1 makeup lessons well over 10 years ago now! Whether you're a beginner looking to master the basics, or an experienced makeup lover wanting to refine your techniques - my 1-2-1 makeup lessons offer personalised guidance tailored just for you!

I've taught a number of trans clients too, and it's a great source of pride for me that the trans community hold me in high regard and trust me with teaching them. In a world filled with tutorials and beauty advice, nothing compares to the benefit of personalised instruction - especially when you're learning for the first time about your face, what you like about makeup, and how it makes you feel!

Louise and Luke got married in Elvaston Castle in September 2019. You might have already seen some photos from their wedding day on my blog here, and you'll also recognise Louise from my interview with her as Kickass Gatherings. She very kindly answered my interview questions and so I wanted to share them here, and more images from her gorgeous day! One of the smiliest brides ever, and she also had my lovely vintgae hair pal Sarah from Pin Up Curl on styling duties. 

It's just a flick... one little, tiny eyeliner flick... 

SO WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO MAKE THEM EVEN AND POINT THE SAME WAY?!

On a night out or important occasion, I bet each of you have done this...

There was once a girl with dry skin who thought she’d never find a foundation to ever make her skin look good. She searched for that wonder product for all her years, and never did her one true foundation come to being. Sad, the felt she’d never get good foundation coverage until she met her fairy make-up godmother who gave her some skincare advice...

When clients get in touch about booking me for wedding makeup, I'm often asked what's in my makeup kit and what products I use. Once you've come to my studio in Hockley in the city centre of Nottingham, you'll soon see the extent of my kit!

Kellie and Nick got married in May 2024 at a gorgeous ceremony at Arnot Hill registry office in Arnold, Nottingham. It's set in such a lovely park, it's a gorgeous setting for an intimate wedding. Kellie also lived literally two streets away from me - the closest wedding I've ever done, ever!
