Favourite product
"My favourite makeup product has to be a highlighter. I honestly can’t choose just one brand as there are quite a few in my kit that I play between. Dior Backstage Glow Face palette has so much versatility for all skin tones and Bare Minerals Endless Glow Highlighter in shade Joy is my personal daily fave. But it all starts with your skincare, as that will ensure your makeup goes on like a dream. "
From the artist
“The favourite part of my job is getting to know my clients during their trial and then being with them on the morning of their special day. All the excitement and the loving energy in the air is the best feeling. I love nothing more than when I show the bride her reflection in the mirror, for the very first time, and I see the happiness in her face.”
