Hello there,

Welcome to my website! I am a professional, multi-award winning freelance make-up artist in the very fortunate position of making a living from my passion, and count my lucky stars every day! I offer a friendly, professional and fully insured mobile make-up artistry service in Edinburgh, where I am based, and am happy to travel anywhere in Scotland, and further upon request.

From Passion to Profession

From a very young age, I have had a passion for make-up, experimenting on myself and others, and have always been one of those go-to friends for make-up application and handy tips.

As a graduate, I started my career at Procter & Gamble in London. Working as a Product Developer and  Colour Expert, I worked on cosmetic brands such as Max Factor, Oil of Olay and Cover Girl. Here, I had the really interesting job of designing and bringing to market the new seasonal trend shades and products for these brands, and gained a deep product knowledge and understanding whilst working there.

Following this, and after a successful career in management, I decided to pursue my dream of working as a make-up artist in Edinburgh and have never looked back. I strongly believe in investing in my craft through continual development within this fast moving industry, staying up to date with the latest trends, techniques and products. For example, I invested in a series of makeup artistry courses at the Lauren Gollan Academy of Make-Up Artistry, to hone my skill set and knowledge on the latest trend led techniques, as well as training at the Academy of Makeup. 

So What Can I Do to Help You?

My promise to you is to deliver a high standard of care and professionalism, reliability and trust, with the primary focus being on you. Being very passionate about make-up and what I do, I always strive for perfection in the service I offer to my clients. I am happy to travel to you to do your make-up in the comfort of your own home or to a location of your choosing, making life easier for you. I also have a make-up studio in Edinburgh, where you are welcome to come to also. All you need to do is sit back, relax and enjoy being pampered! 

I believe everyone has their own unique sense of style and look, and enjoy offering an exclusively bespoke & professional service. This can clearly be seen from my Portfolio, which demonstrates the emphasis I place on the individuality of each client I have worked with. Also, if a client wishes, I can incorporate the current trends into their make-up application. I really enjoy making my clients feel beautiful, confident and comfortable with whatever look they have chosen, leaving for their event looking flawless and feeling a fabulous version of themselves. I am always amazed at how well applied make-up, that enhances the person's natural beauty, can transform and give a person confidence to take on the world.

Kind Words from My Clients…
