A make-up blog that disregards beauty ideals.

WORKING HARD

My new wardrobe as a make-up artist. Anyone notice a theme?

I've also developed a specific kit lay-out. I never thought that would happen!

 Recently I've been so lucky to be able to assist Rich Harvey, an amazing hair and make-up artist. We were shooting at a gym in Manchester, and couldn't resist getting involved.




Then to the Northern Quarter in Manchester, shooting all day with Didi's boutique. We switched between locations and studio. Our models were the beautiful Stacey McClean & Ariana, and make-up was smoked and glamorous. Photographer: Alexander Bather.

We had the bonus of an on-set puppy & prop: Wilbur the French Bulldog.


Wilbur decided to hang out with me & Sophie Williams! Clever dog.





Make-up by me. Gold smoked eyes with lime green accents. Model Ariana. 

FACEPAINTING

Just a quick update. Since leaving my make-up academy, I was at Edinburgh Fringe watching comedy and theatre. Then it was straight to Creamfields music festival to help out Love & Lacquered... giving everybody there cool facepaint, beautiful make-up and boho plaits.



Luckily I was working in Hospitality, and got REAL toilets!


Plaits were a must have.


I painted myself as a leopard, purely for advertising reasons obviously! 


And a tiger. Any excuse.

Beautiful glittery leopard print by me.


Even the men got involved!
