About me
I've always loved art and painting and make-up for me is an extension of that. As a child I loved and was fascinated by punk make-up looks and was convinced that, as soon as I was old enough to be allowed to wear make-up, that was the look I would go for.
By the time I reached my teens, however, it was the era of the supermodel and I was much more into beauty and high fashion looks. Therefore, I spent my time trying to recreate Cindy's (Crawford) and Linda's (Evangelista) eyes and lips.
With a long period of studying for firstly a BSc and then a PhD in Physics, make-up took a back seat for a long time but I still made myself up everyday for labs. After a few years of being a qualified Patent Attorney and having no more exams left, my husband returned to his old hobby of portrait photography so I took this as a sign to get back into make-up artistry. Charlotte Tilbury had not long launched her own brand and I love her style so got back into it watching Charlotte's and others' tutorials on YouTube. I love make-up because it can be like magic and there's nothing I like more than a magic transformation.
