a finishing touch

I kick started my makeup career after completing a diploma in image styling for performance at the prestigious London College of Fashion where I focused on film, TV and theatre makeup and hair.

Alongside this I assisted various renowned artists such as Maggie Hunt, Hayley Sparkes, Sue Sian and Kevin Fortune where I had the opportunity to cover various Fashion events, editorial, theatre and TV campaigns along with multiple commercial productions. I also developed my career further by working for MAC cosmetics as a makeup consultant offering advanced lessons in makeup application and expert product advise. After deciding to move on from MAC I have continued to work in the creative industry as a freelance MUA one glamorous face at a time! Every day is a new challenge and a blank canvas for me to get creative. I now regularly work behind the scenes for the likes of Sky Sports, Sky News, QVC, Iran International, CNBC and CNN studios making up presenters and celebrity guests for live broadcasting. Alongside this I also continue my bridal hair and makeup work and special occasion glam too, which I absolutely love creating! My passion for makeup and hair continues to grow everyday and I honestly feel so lucky that I have such a rewarding job. You can’t beat the satisfaction of knowing you have made people feel good about themselves and that’s the part of my job I love the most.
