Entry Hair & Makeup Artist

About Me
My passion as a hair and makeup artist began when I used to perform at dance shows when I was young, and would have a queue of girls waiting to have their hair braided before going on stage! I had a natural flair for hair, that teamed up with a love of art, took me naturally down the path of Hair and Makeup and I haven’t looked back since.
I have now been a professional hair and makeup artist for over 10 years and I have been lucky enough to gain a huge amount of experience in many areas of the industry, including Beauty, Television, Film, Music, and of course, Weddings.
I truly love to make brides feel like the very best versions of themselves on their wedding day. I love the excitement and confidence that beautiful hair and makeup can bring, and I love to help create a relaxing and happy atmosphere while a Bride and her loved ones get ready. Being a part of a Bride’s special day is such an honour- I truly love my job!
I used to be a part time Pole Fitness instructor and I love to be upside down! When I am not working I still love getting active, whether that is going outside for a woodland walk with my partner and two little boys, surfing or doing some yoga. I have only recently moved to Hampshire from London and already feel so lucky to be surrounded by nature day in and day out. Working at the most stunning venues and locations is so rewarding, I can’t wait to see more!

My Style
My speciality is gorgeous, radiant, glowy and fresh skin. I have an eye for detail and love to enhance my Bride’s natural features, creating sophisticated yet effortless looks . You will always look like yourself on your wedding day - just elevated!
Using my knowledge and experience from photoshoots of how makeup is captured on camera, I ensure makeup always photographs beautifully and will last throughout the big day and into the evening.
When it comes to hair, I like an elegant-boho style, whether that is a effortless up-do or beautiful romantic waves.
My Advice
Bring along lots of ideas and examples of the styles you’d like to try before your trial. This way your artist can understand your vision, and your style preferences so you can work together to create your dream wedding look - don’t be afraid to be honest or to change your mind!
Most importantly, this is your special day. Stay true to yourself, choose what YOU want, not what you think you ‘should’ have.
My Kit
I am passionate about keeping my kit cruelty free, and love to use a wide variety of brands in my kit as nothing is ever one-size-fits-all!
My current favourite brands are Charlotte Tilbury, Rare Beauty, Hourglass & Lisa Eldridge
