Multi award winning, published, HND qualified makeup artist and salon owner. Makeup Lecturer for Ayrshire College. Many services can be provided.

After gaining my HND certificate in makeup I went on to be apart of the management team at #smashbox and #urbandecay. I gained much experience with these renowned makeup brands and worked on all types of skin and woman of all ages. After 5 years of gaining vital experience I decided to branch out on my own and use all my experience to bring a top class hair and makeup service to the masses.

A little blast from the past today! 🤍✨

It was so lovely welcoming my old school friend Donna Markie from St Andrew’s Academy into the studio today for a full hair and makeup transformation before she headed off to a wedding in Dumfries.

There’s something so special about reconnecting after all these years, and even more special when I get to help someone feel their absolute best for a special occasion. 💄✨
We created a beautiful, glowing makeup look paired with soft, elegant hair that perfectly complemented her outfit and the celebrations ahead.

And how uncanny 😱🤪 I had also done Lorraine, the mother of the groom’s hair and makeup this morning for the very same wedding, completely unknown to us all!

Thank you for trusting me with your glam today, Donna. It was wonderful catching up and I hope you have the most amazing time at the wedding! 🤍

✂️ Twin Mum Life… Alexander’s First Haircut! 😂💙

It’s my first day off… so obviously I decided to attempt Alexander’s first haircut! 🤪

If you know Alexander, you’ll know asking him to sit still is like asking him to stop breathing! 😂 I’m convinced he’s currently in training for the World Cup because that boy never stops moving! ⚽🏃‍♂️

The only way this was happening was in the high chair, armed with snacks, cartoons and a LOT of determination from Mum! 🤣

Watch the reel for the before, the chaos in the middle, and the handsome little after! 🥹💙 I honestly can’t believe how grown up he looks.

Safe to say… I’ll stick to bridal hair and makeup. Toddler barbering definitely isn’t getting added to my list of services! 😂✂️

Any other mums have one child who sits like an angel… and another who’s convinced they’re playing in the World Cup final? ⚽🤣👇

✨ Today’s Private Makeup Lesson ✨

This afternoon I had the pleasure of welcoming the lovely Ann and Eleanor into the studio for a bespoke Cruise Beauty Experience before they set sail on their upcoming adventure. 🚢💛

Many ladies tell me they don’t wear makeup and simply want to feel a little more polished, refreshed and confident without looking heavily made up.

That’s exactly what today’s lesson was all about.

Together we’ll explore simple skincare, easy makeup techniques, product recommendations and confidence-boosting tips specifically designed for mature skin, all tailored to their individual needs and lifestyle.

Every client receives a completely personalised experience and their own beauty guide to take away, making it easy to recreate their look long after they leave the studio.

I can’t wait to see their confidence grow and hear all about their cruise adventures! ✨

Have the most wonderful time Ann & Eleanor. Thank you for choosing me to be part of your preparations. 💚
