This gloss is apparently one of Dior's best sellers. It promises a plumping effect on the lips with the addition of collagen and menthol which has a slightly tingly sensation. It can be used twice a day as a treatment to achieve a plumper pout.

This makeup range is more yellow based, which is great for neutralising redness, especially for brides that get nervous and get a little flushed.

Having been a hair stylist and makeup artist for over 20 years, I've tried and tested a lot of makeup products and I have to say I am really excited about these as they are incredibly sheer and hi-tech.

My quick fix advice for puffy eyes is to soak 2 large cotton pads in cold water/rose water mist or your usual toner and place over your eyes for a few minutes. Relax and meditate or listen to some soothing music.

So, its been a while since I last wrote my blog. Wedding season has been crazy busy and I also work TV and advertising doing makeup and hair for celebrities and models, so sitting at my desk has taken a bit of a back seat.  Anyway, since my last post, I have had the great pleasure of shopping for new makeup and I want to share some of my favourite products with you.

By Terry have just launched a new range of foundations and blushers, which I absolutely love. The Nude Expert duo stick is a brilliantly light, sheer and radiant base. There are only a few colours in the range but they are incredibl...

Hello! So summer is finally here and I've been so excited to tell you about these amazing lip and cheek tints I found by Becca.

I recently purchased these 2 gorgeous colours called 'Watermelon' and 'Dragonfruit' from my local SpaceNK in Bristol. What I love so much about them is their versatility and staying power, not to mention they smell delicious! I have been using these makeup tints on lots of my brides this year and they love them too. They are very easy to apply to either lips or cheeks and the colour stays put which is perfect for your wedding day. 

I often recommend a bride buys the lip...

I started by setting her long hair in large heated rollers and then added lots of backcombing to create volume at the crown, I then twisted sections of the hair into a loose bun shape and tonged some loose tendrils to achieve a soft, romantic bridal look.

I wanted to share a story about a recent wedding that I did in Bruton, Somerset. I was honoured to do the hair and makeup for the gorgeous bride, Hannah and her family for her spring wedding at the unusual and quirky location, Hauser and Wirth.

For brides getting married in the evening or in the winter months when the light is low, some sparkles could be just the thing to set off your bridal hair.

Having worked with brides for well over a decade now, I've seen some bridal fashions come and go but deciding what to wear in your hair can still be daunting for some brides.
