My fascination with make up began from an early age, growing up in London in the 1970s and 80s and living on Kensington High Street. As a young child, with Biba and Kensington Market just down the road, I was already in awe of the fashionable and flamboyant shoppers that surrounded me. As fashions and the high street evolved, I watched with joy as the styles around me emerged. Disco, punk, glam rock and New Romantics, to name but a few. There were so many amazing and diverse sources of inspiration - I became hooked.
But fashion is not my only source of inspiration.
The sheer diversity of my work is one of the many things that keep me excited by it. I am inspired by people and personalities, and love to observe the finer details. As a result of this, I also find great pleasure in creating characters for narrative or filmic shoots.
In my 17 years as a Make up Artist, my versatility and range of skills have helped me achieve a successful career across a variety of fields, from working with well known actors, personalities and bands to advertising campaigns for high profile brands.
