Halloween Make Up and Hair ideas

So, It is that time of the year again ....... 1 day until Halloween ! I have decided to make a few 15 minute video's to give you some ideas and inspiration. All video's are made within 15 minutes where possible and I have just used simple make up that you will probably find laying around the house so that you do not need to buy anything special to recreate these looks. First off I have done a Sexy Glamorous look for you; The final look being; The second video is to create a zombie / Gothic look; The final look being this; I have also made an alternative zombie look which you can find here; with your make up running down; With the last look using everyday make up being a 'fire' look - I made this in 3 instalments so you will need to watch all 3 to create the final look;               For all these looks, I have used Annabelle's Wigs - a great way to finishing your Halloween look - check our the website at...

1950's hair and make up for secret cinema screening of Grease the musical

Recently I was contacted by two local girls who was going off for a secret cinema screening of Grease the Musical.  They asked if I could do their hair and make up 50's style so that they looked the part! I love doing hair and make up like this as it is so much fun.  I love any make up from the 1920's onwards as woman really knew how to style themselves and how to wear their make up with pride..... that and big red lips!

Boudoir photography

I am now getting a lot of requests from people who want me to do their hair and make up for boudoir shoots following a shoot that I did with Emmest Photography  and her new comapny Taboudoir  for ETC magazine. I teamed up with the wonderful Emma Meston from Emmest Photography, model's Celine Mailland and Grace Wardle and equipped with a case-full of Annabelle's Wigs , off I went to the Hotel Pelirocco   in Brighton with the aim to have fun! Once at the pelirocco I was given access to the singstar room to carry out hair and make up with fellow artist Charlene Everest.  Here, I met Chrissie Nicholson-Wild of  Curve Couture and also Cliterati. Emma was set up in the pin up room at the Pelirocco to take all shoots. Together the whole team was able to shoot a variety of shots and looks all based on a vintage theme, using the models own hair and wigs to get as many different looks as possible. I also enjoyed working as Emma's assistant s...

How to plan a wedding ?

I often get asked by people how a wedding day transforms and the answer is that each wedding day is very different to each other with some brides being more organised than others, and also a lot of it depends on how the bride is feeling - you will never know how you will feel on your wedding day until the day itself comes! Here is a little insight into behind the scenes on the morning of a wedding day. With thanks to Laura Higgins (nee Lancaster) who has kindly let me share her morning with the world! Enjoy reading and remember, this is just how Laura's wedding transpired, each wedding is individual and every one's wedding day is different to eachother.........  Having met Laura for her trial, it was decided that I would turn up at the Norfolk Arms, Arundel where she was getting ready at 07.30 am. Bride and bridesmaids were ready and waiting at the window for me! First things first - turns out the veil had no clip attached so I quickly put the bridesmaids to...
