I have been deliberating for some time now about posting with an update. Some will have noticed I have been quiet with regards to my makeup business, my passion and my success in doing what I love.

But sadly back in March of this year I had a bad fall and sustained a knee injury. Of late this has worsened considerably and injections and pain relief are no longer having the desired effect. Now I am unable to stand for any length of time, the pain being just too much.

So, hopefully temporarily, I am having to take a back seat on my work, literally !

I started my business doing group makeup classes for ladies with cancer in the hospitals, and truly realised the power of makeup first hand and developed my skills further to help women look and feel better about themselves, giving them the confidence so many were looking for.

Sadly the pandemic, now coupled with the cost of living, the photoshoots I loved so much, getting creative etc, now rarely happen. Makeup lessons and weddings have continued but my ability to stand for any length of time has been heavily impacted for now.

I am awaiting appointments to get the treatment needed so hopefully I may get back to normal in the coming months.

I am so proud of what I have achieved, being published and of course my photo shoot with a reigning Miss England. Holding my own group makeup classes, and feedback I have had over the years has been heartwarming.

For now, here's a glance at a few memories from the photo shoots that I loved being part of. Makeup and hair by moi xx

When the shops are full of winter colours, grey, black, beige and burgundy....go bright ! 💙

It isn't very often that I can get photos of Brides, ready to leave for their wedding. I'm always conscious that it's the Bride's special time with her family once her makeup and hair is done and she's ready to go. So when that time comes and my work is done, I leave which means I don't get the 'final look' photograph.

So this lovely Bride shared some moments from her Wedding with me to showcase how beautiful and happy she looked on her big day 🩷

From Makeup Lesson/Bridal Makeup trial, this was her a few weeks ago when she married 'the one' 💙

Had a fun makeup lesson with Judith this morning 💋 She had previously had her 'colours' done professionally, and my simple colour test proved that she already had a good idea what makeup colours were right for her and which ones to avoid. So important to get it right !

I showed her how to apply colour to enhance the eye shape she had, the brown tones brought out her natural eye colour perfectly. After trying some lip colours, we settled on this one, slightly shimmery and complimented the rest of her makeup really well. Think her lovely smile says it all 💋

Back in the studio, it's been a while 💋

Bridal makeup trial this morning. I used warm tones to go with the natural autumnal colour theme for a countryside wedding. Beautiful 🧡

Lash lift and tint for a Bride to Be, always good to trial something prior to the big day 👰‍♀️It's a lovely surprise when you see how long your lashes really are !

From downward lashes to upward curled ones ! Lash lift and tint together with a brow wax and tidy for my Client this afternoon. Her first one and happy to say she was really pleased with the results.

Makeup Lesson this morning for this lady who felt she had 'lost her way' with her makeup. After the colour test it was clear she had been using the wrong colours which didn't compliment her, rather than the tones we used today. I gave her some advice on application, some 'to do's and some 'not to do's' and she could see immediately the effect.

She had lovely 'glowy' skin so with the right products complimenting her own skin, hair and eye color, she looked just lovely.

Makeup lesson/bridal makeup trial this morning. The Bride to be wanted to learn how to best apply her own makeup and also to see if she would be happy for me to do it for her on the day. She wanted natural but a bit more special for the day and the final look was beautiful on her. Looking forward to seeing her on 'the big day' 👰‍♀️

Another lash lift and tint today and an even longer catch up with my lovely Client 🫶

Sometimes 'life' just runs away with us so it was lovely to see this lady back today for her lash lift/tint and a catch up 💕

So good to get back in the studio this morning. A lovely family portrait session with Mum and 2 teens, making memories 💕

Early morning lesson on Saturday for a makeup novice 😊 She took the opportunity to try out some new colours and feeling brave went for a bright orange lip colour. Love that !! And it really suited her perfectly 💋

I had the pleasure of doing this lovely lady's makeup for her daughter's birthday party on Friday. She wanted a bit of sparkle and this combination of shadows really brought out her natural eye colour!

How are you feeling. How are you really feeling ? Maybe last year was tough for you, maybe you let things 'slide' following Covid, I know I put on a few pounds and got into the habit of wearing trackies and sweat shirts. I didn't take as much 'care' with my makeup on a day to day basis. But last year taught me one thing (amongst others), the importance of taking care of yourself, physically but very much mentally as well. It's easy to let life take over and lose yourself in your worries. But to feel good in yourself, you must see that you are worth taking care of and by feeling better about 'you' you will feel more content, motivated and more able to cope with what life throws at you.

I have so many ladies come to me and say they have lost their way with how they look. Makeup, hair, and just appearance in general.

I have seen what looking and feeling good or even better about yourself can do for your confidence.

This is why I love giving makeup lessons. So many don't realise their potential to look pretty, younger, brighter etc and just make the most of the natural 'you'.

The start of a new year is the perfect time. I'm not one for making New Year resolutions, but I have learned why taking care of yourself as a whole is a priority. It helps to makes you feel stronger.

So for the rest of this month, have a Makeup Lesson with me at the reduced price of £40, saving £5, and give yourself that much needed boost. Just message me to find out more 💕

Makeup lesson this weekend for another lady who wears very little makeup, just mascara, some liner and lipstick. She wanted to know how to 'glam up' a bit as she does quite a few videos etc for her business. I steered her away from the more 'cool' colours, and introduced her to neutral tones for her eyes and more suitable lip colours.

Wearing foundation evens out the skin tone and just brightens the face. Using shades of brown around her eyes, really made her own eye colour stand out. It's all about correct application, so I showed her a few tips on how to enhance her best features and not accentuate any fine lines etc and what a difference wearing the right colours make !

How would you like longer, thicker looking lashes for Christmas (and New Year ) ?!

Have a lash lift and tint with me, just £25 for the rest of this month. It's like having a non surgical eye lift 😍 No maintenance, lasts approx 6 weeks. Message me to book....

This lady had a birthday recently and was given a voucher for a makeup lesson with me. Like so many of us we can be quite critical of ourselves, and she only ever wears mascara, no other makeup. My perfect client 💋

After a colour test we used warm tones, using shades of brown to bring out her lovely deep blue eyes and a natural looking blusher to enhance her great cheekbones !

She doesn't like the feel of foundation on her skin so I introduced her to a light but great coverage one in a colour that blended with her natural skin tone perfectly.

So she left feeling happy, with more confidence in herself and looking fabulous !

Another Christmas Party makeup tonight. Smokey eyes and n**e lip was wanted so to work well with a beautiful purple sparkly top, I used a mix of shimmery pink and deep purple blended out with a charcoal grey to outline the eyes. Really made her lovely natural blue eye colour stand out. Finished off with a soft pink blush and a lovely n**e lip 💋

Loving these party looks !
