Wedding at The Shelleys Hotel in Lewes

And the bride wore Superwoman trainers!

On the outside, Shelleys doesn't look that big a place, but don't judge a book by its cover!

I was booked on the 31st January to do hair, make up and nails for Maria's Wedding day. She was staying at the Shelleys hotel the night before, which is always a bonus for me as I can arrive any time I want knowing that the bride will already be there.

It doesn't take me long to rearrange the room so that I can set up.... Nails first

Make up set up at the lovely dressing table.

One of the reasons why I enjoy being a part of someones wedding day is that I get to be a little bit nosey! - A close up of Maria's Tiara

Maria isn't really a 'bouquet' type of person so she had these lovely wrist corsages made for her

And then she pulled our her Wonder woman pumps!

I love how brides are sourcing alternative shoes for their wedding day. And these wonder woman pumps are comfortable as well as being funky. Maria added the bridal laces herself.

Once I have painted Maria's nails, using a lovely Shellac Grape colour, It was time do do her hair and make up. - Both of which had already been decided on at her trial 3 weeks earlier.

Wedding pumps fit nicely under that dress.

Was I had finished Maria's hair, make up and nails I helped her to get into her beautiful wedding dress, nice and tight and then said my congratulations and goodbyes before having a cheeky peek downstairs;

British Heart Foundation Wear It Beat It Campaign

It was really great to be the hair and make-up artist for the new British Heart Foundation campaign - Wear It. Beat It 2017 - https://wearitbeatit.bhf.org.uk This was a two day photoshoot working with a wonderful team from Killer Creative marketing agency. On the first day I worked with heart survivor's, consultants and surgeons which was great as I got to listen to a lot of amazing stories that people were happy to share. In fact, this is one of the favourite parts of my work - getting to hear about other people's lives and the fact that people want share with me. On the second day, a lot of male, female and children models arrived to have their hair and make-up done so that the British Heart Foundation had a variety of photos to share for their next big advertising campaign. I really enjoyed being a member of the team that created photos for this campaign for the British Heart Foundation and look ...

How to cover up a tattoo using Camouflage creams

As a cosmetic camouflage practitioner I get asked to cover up scars, burn marks, port wine stains, birth marks, broken capillaries, Rosacea, eczema and all other skin conditions and discolourations. When I am doing a wedding, I often get asked to cover up a tattoo or two! Below I will outline how you can cover up your own tattoo using Cosmetic camouflage creams. There are many creams available on the market, my product of choice is Dermacolor by Kryolan - this is endorsed by many companies including British Association of British Camouflage and Skin Camouflage Network. Some of the products are also available on Prescription if your doctor gives you a prescription for the product - otherwise you can buy it direct from Charles H Fox. 1. - tattoo before any cosmetic camouflage creams have been applied. 2. If the tattoo is black, you need to apply a red colour on top of the black to neutralise the colour - I apply the product using a lip brush or liner brush....
