About Me
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 makeup 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. As no two faces are the same, why should the makeup be? I also believe that makeup should enhance and not mask. If a client wishes, I can incorporate the current trends into their make-up application, which is a fun thing to do. 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 them the confidence to take on the world. Makeup is not just about looking beautiful, its about feeling empowered and having the confidence to do what you want to do, and this is where my passion lies. My business is proudly gender-inclusive and LGBTQ+ friendly, celebrating diversity and individuality at its core. Everyone is beautifully unique, wonderfully different, and always welcome.

It was really excellent. Colette listened carefully to what we wanted and tailored her lessons to our desired looks and level of knowledge. She didn't push us to make any purchases at all and mostly worked with our own make-up, though we had access to her full professional kit. She was totally age appropriate with my daughter (aged 12) and never pushed any beauty standards, instead framing putting on make-up as something fun and technically skilful. We both learnt a huge amount which is totally practical and applicable, about both make-up and skincare. A fun morning out, and a valuable learning opportunity. Highly recommended!’ Sue Fletcher-Watson ~~~ 'Colette is superb at what she does, as well as making you feel comfortable. She did my wedding makeup as well as that of my bridesmaids and mum. We all got lots of compliments! Colette is full of information and helpful tips, and the way I'll do my makeup since meeting her is all the better for it. She's incredibly patient and friendly - nothing seemed like a hassle. Even my MOH's baby fussing didn't faze her in the slightest. Between the lot of us there was a range of skin tones and types and Colette made a stellar job with us all. Thank you so much!'
