"Makeup is only about the way it makes you feel"

I trained as a Makeup Artist after working as a Personal Shopper for a few years. I liked fashion but I LOVED makeup.. I have always been drawn to colours and creativity.  After my training I was very fortunate to land a job at MAC at which I progressed to being a manager. I had lots of responsibility, really enjoyed developing my team, worked in the heart of London, UK and I was surrounded by this incredible family of artists.

Following meeting my husband, we lived and worked in various countries and cultures and I had the unique opportunity to develop businesses in Canada and Japan before relocating to Abu Dhabi in the UAE. This has given me insight into international cosmetic markets and products.

With over 20 years of professional experience, I am confident in bridal, fashion and beauty editorial makeup, advertising campaigns, fashion shows, and music videos.  I have worked on various publications such as Greek Vogue, Elle Magazine, YOU magazine, Cartier Polo and Dressed To Kill Magazine.  I have also been so blessed to have met and worked with some celebrities such as Kate Middleton, Jude Law, and Annie Lennox. 

My favourite part of my job is helping women to realise and feel their beauty.  This flourished when I also certified as a professional coach and now my business weaves these skills together. When you can coach someone to do their own makeup, and they take that first look in the mirror and you can almost touch the feeling of confidence - that's when I know I've done a good job!
