Hello Lovelies! I’m guessing if you have made it this far into my website - that you probably want to know a little about me!


I am a professional make-up artist based in Newcastle Upon Tyne and have been doing paid work since 2010.


Since I was a child I was always fascinated by make-up and would give my Mama (grandma) little make-overs with all her ‘old’ bits of make-up.
I was the girl with huuuuge eyelashes that would sit and draw black and silver leopard print across my eyes for school
I left school after my GCSE’s and went straight into learning hairdressing and would fit make-up courses in around my college courses. I am NVQ level 3 qualified in hairdressing and also level 3 Media make-up.
I was always fascinated to see make-over programs and when shows would show you the behind the scenes of the hair and make-up teams working their magic..
I was lucky enough to get into doing photo shoots and in with local modelling agencies super early in my career and I have been privileged enough to work with some amazing photographers and prestigious companies - at home and abroad - such as; Gossard, JulesB, Baartman and Siegel, Olay, Pepsi, Playboy, nuts, zoo, Maxim, The Picture magazine, Daily star, Sunday Sport, Max Factor; and even several glamour model calendars and music videos.

I specialise in airbrush foundation and photographic make-up.

Over the past few years I fell into teaching accredited and non-accredited make-up courses, and have completed both my teaching and assessors qualifications.
I have recently taken the leap to being salon based for make-up appointments in the city centre on Fridays and Saturdays at the multi-award winning Collective Hairdressing, but also still work freelance work around this.


If there is anything else you want to know - just ask!
Hope you are all keeping well and safe - and hopefully I’ll get to paint your face soon!
