Tell us about your business... What's your favourite bridal beauty look?
I try to focus on natural beauty and a fresh skin look. I'm a mum of two, and wanted a business to fit around my children. I qualified as a make-up artist, and then got the bug for beauty and qualified in lashes, nails and beauty. I absolutely love meeting different people and hearing their stories – I think my physiology degree helps too!
I think my favourite bridal look is glowing gorgeous skin with framed stunning eyes and a glossy lip.
What's your top tip for brides choosing a wedding make-up artist?
Find someone you feel comfortable talking to, so if you aren't happy with the trial look, you have the confidence to speak up. I think there is nothing worse than leaving an appointment and hating what the artist has done. As an artist we want to know.
What question do you get asked by brides the most?
"How do I get that glowing skin look?" I try to work with brides before the day to make sure they are looking after their skin and drinking plenty of water. Make-up can do an incredible job, but there's nothing better than working with a fabulous canvas.

The UK Hen & Stag Destinations Everyone’s Booking for 2026
Once dominated by big nights out and budget flights abroad, hen and stag parties in the UK are having a rethink, and things are now looking very different. Research suggests that pre-wedding celebrations could be completely sober as early as 2040, with groups instead embracing alcohol-free celebrations that they're more likely to remember. Also, rising travel costs, tighter schedules and a growing appetite for wellness experiences are pushing more groups to stay closer to home.

The philosophy of white - Pantone's Colour of the Year
White has always been more than a colour; it is the quiet space between thought and form, the light-filled pause where the eye rests and the mind find clarity.
