What a year 2021 has been - it started off with high hopes after not being able to work for 9 months in 2020. But after a slow road road to freedom, thankfully, contact services were allowed to work from June 2021. Making the latter half of 2021 a really fantastic one, with some truly special standout moments and memories.
There has been some fabulous weddings (that were rescheduled due to Covid), special occasion makeups, photo shoots, bridal tutorials and make-up lessons!
I'm just so happy and grateful to be back with my fab wee clients and other creatives again. Life is finally starting to feel a wee bit more 'normal' again (even with the face masks!).
There are some exciting things planned for the year ahead, and I'm really looking forward to meeting and working with more amazing people!
And scrolling back through my feed and images, I have some really lovely memories to share with you - I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
And here’s to many more in 2022!
Wedding Makeup and Special Occasion Makeup:
Julia booked a group bridal tutorial with her two bridesmaids and did such a fabulous job on the day, I'm sure you'll agree!

In September, my very lovely bride, Megan, on her wedding day at the Norton house Hotel, when I had the honour of being there in person to do both hers and her fab bridal party's wedding makeup.
After doing Megan's makeup as a bridesmaid 5 years before and also after postponing her wedding twice, it was all the more special and a wedding I will never forget. Loved every minute of being there on Megan & John's special day!
Megan and her bridal party's hair was done by the fab ladies at Cabello Hair.
Flowers were by Garlands Florist Edinburgh.

My lovely wee December/Christmas bride, Antonia, had a makeup lesson as well as booking me for her wedding day makeup.
And after two postponements due to Covid-19, her big day finally arrived when she got to walk down the aisle to marry her fiancé, Stewart, at the stunning Archerfield House.
It was a total joy and honour to be there with Antonia on her special day.
Antonia's hair was done by the fab Emma Combe Bridal Hair.

Editorial Makeup
This was one of my first photo shoots of 2021, and it certainly didn't disappoint!
St James Square were wanting images for their brand new shopping mall, and I just loved every second of working with this fab team of creatives. There were so many amazing images to choose from, so it was tricky to shortlist but here are a few to give you an idea of this fabulous shoot. Some behind-the-scenes ones as well!

Some of the behind-the-scenes antics!
In September, the lovely Ola booked my editorial makeup service for her 40th birthday shoot. And this was no ordinary birthday shoot - Ola had photos taken at the beautiful Hermitage of Braid and along the Royal Mile. Just beautiful, dreamy images to have as lovely memories of a milestone age.

In November, Mette, from Freja Fashion, approached me about a shoot she was organising for non-binary bridal fashion. It was to be part of a documentary being showcased in Scottish Fashion Week.
Mette explored gender-fluid bridal wear and challenged the traditional ideas around wedding fashion of ‘bride & groom’ gender stereotypes. Highlighting that wedding designs can be gender-fluid, and so, more in the line with fashion, which has become inclusively gender free. Helping to raise the profile of non-binary weddings and seek to support a more inclusive service.
And as you'll see from the images, it was a total dream to be part of this project. Pro images are from Fern Photography, and have included some behind-the-scenes images for you as well!

And some behind-the-scenes of the shoot...
After this and just before Christmas, I had the pleasure of being involved with Wendy & Katie's engagement shoot with Geebz Photography. Wendy & Katie came all the way from Detroit, USA, for it and were just a delight to work with.
Here are some images from their shoot, which also has a wee festive feel to it!
And finally, 2021 saw my business receive, not one, but two make-up awards - talk about cherry (or cherries) on the cake!
* Scottish Short Film Festival ‘Best Make Up’ Award for the period film ‘Custodian’ - Finalist *
* UK Enterprise Elite Awards ‘Most Outstanding Professional Make-Up Artist’ - WINNER *
Rounding off the year very nicely indeed :)
