I am a multi-award-winning bridal makeup specialist with over nine years of experience within the wedding industry. Currently based in Birtley, Gateshead, I work with brides across the North East and beyond, creating timeless, elegant looks that feel effortlessly beautiful both in person and on camera.
My journey into makeup began whilst I was pregnant with my son, Layton. What started as a personal passion quickly evolved into a career after I undertook professional training at a makeup academy and refined my skills alongside established artists. Since then, I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of brides - something I never take for granted. Being trusted on such an important day is an honour that continues to inspire me.
For me, bridal makeup is about far more than products and technique. It is about creating a calm, supportive and luxurious experience from the very first enquiry to the final touch on your wedding morning. I want every bride to feel confident, comfortable and truly radiant - to have that unforgettable moment when you look in the mirror and simply feel like the very best version of yourself.
My kit is carefully curated with high-end, cruelty-free and vegan products, and I have extensive experience working with sensitive or allergy-prone skin, ensuring both comfort and longevity throughout your day.
When you choose to work with me, you are choosing experience, professionalism and genuine care - someone who will be by your side to ensure your morning feels seamless, relaxed and completely centred around you.
Alongside my bridal work, I am a fully qualified beauty practitioner with a continued passion for professional development and advanced training.
During the Covid period, I invested in expanding my qualifications and deepening my expertise within the beauty industry. Since then, I have gone on to train in body piercings and advanced semi-permanent makeup treatments, including microblading, powder brows, combination brows and lip blush.
My approach to every treatment is the same as my bridal philosophy - precision, artistry and attention to detail, delivered within a professional and welcoming environment. I am committed to maintaining the highest standards of hygiene, safety and client care, ensuring every client feels informed, comfortable and confident throughout their experience.
Continual education is incredibly important to me. I believe in evolving with the industry, refining my techniques and offering modern, high-quality treatments that enhance natural beauty while maintaining a soft, sophisticated finish.
Whether you are visiting for semi-permanent makeup, piercing or beauty services, my goal is always to provide results that feel polished, flattering and tailored entirely to you.
