I had the privilege of doing the gorgeous makeup & hairstyling for the latest issue of -out now! 🩷🌸

My sweet baby boy Ollie passed away peacefully in my arms on the 19/5/26 ( 1 week ago today). He was 15&1/2 and deeply loved from the moment I saw him… ( last pic is of him as a puppy that fitted in my hand.🩷).

My heart is completely broken and I miss him so much every day! 💔. He gave everyone he met so much love and joy. He would love it when clients turned up at my home studio to give him pats and cuddles. After all it really was HIS studio. 🐾🥰.

Ollie was the sweetest boy ever who never did anything naughty his whole life. He was my best friend and comforter that I wished could never leave.

All my love to my guy Ollie, I’ll never forget you my baby boy.🥰❤️‍🩹🐾 # # #

✨ Don’t apply your blush like this after 40!
�Where you place your blush can completely change the shape of your face — and one side lifts, while the other can unintentionally drag things down.

💖 Here’s what to do instead:�✔️ Skip the apples of the cheeks — go a little higher.�✔️ Blend upward toward the temples for a natural lift.�✔️ Use a cream formula for that dewy, youthful glow.

It’s such a small tweak, but it makes all the difference — especially for mature skin.
�Save this for your next makeup day and try it for yourself! 💫
