I love this photo - from the wedding dress and the collar of her bolero to her hair and make up with tiara.  The composition of the photo is also a lovely one, being able to spot guests during the ceremony yet they are slightly blurred so we can focus on the bride. A lovely photo of a lovely person who deserves all the happiness of her married life - you can see how happy she looks in this photo!

There are two products in my Make Up Kit that I truly could not live without. They are top secret..... until now! The first one : Dermacolor Concealer Pallette. This clever little pallette is a cosmetic camouflage cream that was developed to cover up birthmarks, portwine stains, psoriasis - It even covers tattoos!  Because of the skin it was developed to be used upon, it has been made for even the most sensitive of skins. I bring my pallette to every job that I do, knowing that I can cover up ANYTHING I come across, and will always have the correct colour as there are 16 different colours in each pallette. My second Make up secret is : Dermacolor Fixing Spray               This handy container is all that you need to make ALL make up waterproof and sweatproof. It can be used in conjunction of ANY make up at all, as well as used with other dermacolor products - you simply hold it 12 inches away from yo...

What a fun day to be had - and a wet one at that ! 13 pictures to come up with, all of which were taken under water to create a calender for a sycronised swimming club to raise money. This is 'Miss September' -  Back to School, and Yes, this photo was taken underwater - in a swimming pool believe it or not. This was a really fun shoot to do - I am an accomplished underwater make up artist as well as a diver.           I spent the whole shoot doing hair and make up before entering the water to make sure that the end result looked as great as it could. After 12 hours spent in the pool, my skin was completely hydrated!

I was introduced to Annabelles Wigs earlier this year, and have had so much fun working with them, and Brighton based photographer Chris Giles. This is the first time that we have ever collaborated together to make a video and I think the outcome is superb! We had such a fun day together, the end result looking like this! - Plenty more videos to come...  Enjoy!

I love the strong eyebrows in this picture which really changed the look of the model.  The orange and gold 'wet look' eyeshadow screams hot summers to me, and the lovely freshness of the pink lips combined with gold gives the overall look a soft finish (not easy with such 'harsh' eyebrows!) The bright blue back ground is a lovely contrast with the model's dark hair, set in heated curlers and loosely styled.

I am a Make Up Artist and Hair Stylist based in East Sussex, although I work all over the country. I intend to use my blog as a portfolio of my work to share with you - I hope you enjoy viewing it. Amy. First up - My favourite all time wedding photo. Taken at Buxted Park.  I love the simplicity of this look with the silhouetted background. Why go over the top with hair and make up when you can let the dress flowers and jewellery talk for themselves? Sometimes my job is about getting the balance of the complete look right, as I think this photo shows. A fresh natural look (with eyelash extensions applied) equals a timeless wedding photo that will never go out of date.
