Fear not - I’m Covid SAFE

So we’ve all been a little worried and stressed during these strange times. But everything is opening up again and let me tell you that I’m SO excited to be back to work!  

Even though I have a very close-contact job, I can assure you that every precaution possible it taken to keep us both safe and free from corona virus. Your safety is of utmost importance to me and that’s why I’ve put a lot of time into researching and creating the safest work pattern.

Here are just some of the extra steps I’m taking to make sure that everything is as hygienic as possible and I’m writing this for your peace of mind:

- up to date training and research on covid safety

- barbacide certified

- pre and post-appointment symptom checks

- plastic visors providing all round protection

- masks (these can also be provided for hair only clients upon request)

-  constant hand washing

- an unfathomable amount of regular cleaning and full scrub downs of ALL kit and surfaces used in-between every client

- insisting on windows and doors being open right be my working space for maximum airflow

- all brushes and products are kept sealed away from everyone except who it’s being used on to avoid any possible contamination

- additional towels for every client, I’ll only use my own for maximum hygiene 

- viral specific wipes and dissinfectant always used

So don’t worry I’ve got it covered and I’m prepared. I’m working as normal (with added safety) taking on bookings for bridal make-up, bridal hairstyling, hair and make-up for photoshoots, hair and make-up for film and hair make-up for TV.

Are you a buzzing bride to be and planning your fast approaching wedding? My latest blog is all about why choosing the right wedding hair and make-up artist for your special day is so important.

Your wedding day is without a doubt one of the biggest, most memorable moments of your life and all eyes are on you on your special day! That’s why it’s super important that you’re feeling absolutely fabulous and absolutely beautiful on your wedding day. You’re the focus of the camera lens all day long so you want to make sure you’re picture-perfect, shine free and that your make-up is durable and smudge-proof!

You want to choose a bridal hair and make-up artist that reflects the style and aesthetic you like, whether it’s beautiful bold vintage styling, soft flowing boho curls and plaits or something super sleek. The best way to do this is to scroll through the hair and make-up artist’s gallery and make sure you like what you see. Some artists will display with a specific style or some artists might be more diverse. I personally love to diversify as it gives me so many more possibilities and brings me closer to finding the perfect look for you, no matter what style you like and even if you’re unsure, it gives me lots to play with.

Why choose me?

Not only am I very experienced hair and make-up artist, I’m also extremely creative and have a very high attention to detail. I’m a perfectionist and I find nothing more satisfying than finding the perfect look that will bring out that best version of you. With this comes confidence and confidence is just what you need strutting down that isle on your wedding day. I use high-quality, cruelty-free products and I also offer airbrush make-up which stays flawless all day long. I always recommend have a bridal hair and make-up trial in order to find the perfect look for you, prior to your wedding day. This means we can experiment and find exactly what you envision, and hopefully something even better!

Where do I cover?

I’m a bridal hair and make-up artist based in Bristol. I also cover Bath, Somerset and surrounding areas.

What next?

Whether you’re having summer wedding, a spooky Halloween wedding or a festive winter wedding, let me find the perfect look for you. If you’d like to book a trial and reserve your special day, don’t hesitate to get in touch via the contact form or on 07921332199. I’m very quick to respond and I’ll get back to you within a day or so. You can also find my full bridal booking information here.

I look forward to hearing from you!

So before I show ya’ll my Lockdown Looks collection and my new Covid Safety Guidelines for working in Hair and Make-up Artistry that I’ve put together during lockdown (I’m not fully back to work just yet  due to government guidelines but it won’t be long and I will be super prepared, super safe and super fabulous). In the meantime, I’ve got the images from the last shoot I worked on..  And this set is really GREAT!

I was head of costume, hair and make-up on this photoshoot and I had a fabulous time working on it! I really wanted the characters to have a carnavalesque vibe and to be well kept, but with an ever so slightly scruffy edge. I wanted this design to feel like a cabaret that was stuck in time but also very English. The hair and make-up was to reflect this, I didn’t want it too perfect or too pretty. I feel the ringlet updos really helped to reflect this, along with the shape of the lipstick and the beauty spots. I also wanted the animals to look very adult and not like mascots. I especially enjoyed roughings up some of the costumes and when I was saw these all together, I was a proud little lady!

This leads me on to present to you the latest act Mr Toad’s Magical Menagerie from Valerian Entertainment! A cheeky and hilarious new roaming cabaret!

This incredibly unique new roaming cabaret act is based on the children’s classic The Wind in the Willows. On old English tale with Toad, Badger, Ratty and other friends. The focus on these three and their very mysteriously skilled circus friends to bring this roaming cabaret to life!

Mr Toad’s Magical Menagerie – Hilariously Out of Control..

The way this act works is Mr Toad has his fantabulous cabaret cart! He drives it around with his circus menagerie making stops throughout your event and setting up shop for mini circus shows! Highly interactive and aesthetically very impressive, this sight is bound to astonish. With an array from family friendly acts to slightly twisted freak shows, this act has something for every age group and every event. Featuring crazy circus skills such as fire shows, hula hoop shows, sword swallowers, contortionists, acrobats, knife jugglers and more.

This Wind in the Willows act is without a doubt one of the most crazy and unique Old English style acts available. These realistic animal characters are incredibly vocal and incredibly theatrical. Mr Toad truly is a menace but with Badger around, fear not he will not get into too much trouble.. No matter how clumsy or meddlesome he is. Witness them in their erratic ways, pottering around, making a scene and being outright outrageous! Ratty will be sure to apologise for any wrong doing. Toad is pretty clumsy.. Let’s just hope he doesn’t try to juggle the knives!

Would you like to book this act for your event? Head on over the Valerian Entertainment’s contacts page. 

I hope you enjoyed reading about my work on this act and I’ll be back soon with some more pretty pictures!

Okay, so we all know that we’ve come into a bit of a difficult time with the coronavirus pandemic and this may have brought our work to a holt. But fear not IT IS NOT THE APOCOLYPSE, it is only temporary! This is exactly the type of time we all need to look out for each other, we all need to be extra mindful, and particularly look after our elderly and those who are vulnerable at this time! But don’t worry, this is not a lecture on how to act in your every day lives during this time but a little reminder to step back and make the most of this new found time and channel it into into something new, something creative, something B-E-A-UTIFUL. I can already imagine all the wonderful new art that will come from this time..

Now that I’ve finally come to holt, I realise all the things I’ve neglected to do! One of them especially being social media and blogging for my make-up work. I have SO MANY new projects I’ve been working on and fabulous new videos and photos and now I’m going to take them time to present them to you over the coming weeks. ^_^

So naturally, I have used the ‘Apocalypse’ photo set to go with this blog, ironically, but I couldn’t help it, and we all love a good dragon ehh? This set was shot for an animatronic dragon act for Valerian Entertainment. This was a really fun shoot to do, it was with my favourite photographer Alistair Campbell - https://www.alistaircampbellphotography.co.uk, with my best friend Rebecca Rose Robinson - https://rebeccaroserobinson.com and my partner Lawrence Moon (he’s inside the dragon so you’ll never see him, you’ll have to take my word for it that he exists) - https://valerianentertainment.co.uk! Make sure you check out all their creations! <3 The concept of the shoot is pretty self-explanatory, just some bad ass dragon warriors roaming around with their dragon owning the place. I also made their costumes and if you look closely you’ll see baby dragon skulls on the front of their head dresses - dark! This is actually an interactive roaming act that you can hire out for events through Valerian Entertainment. The dragon walks, bites, blinks and roars!

So, enough of cute little dragons for now.. And back to what to do next! While it can be very difficult to think of things to do and the best ways to utilise your time while restricted at home - there is lots you can do! Trust me, we’re all soon to be the master of this - as all bookings are cancelled for the next few months, I plan to spend my time working on my websites, social media and blogging, making new costumes, working on unique new make-up looks and characters, and also creating some new acts. All whilst juicing lots of carrots! Stay healthy folks.  What do you have planned? It’s a great idea to keep a routine and make lists of what you’d like to achieve. I’m a sucker for lists!

Hold tight for some fun new photo sets! Have you seen Mr Toad’s Magical Managerie? 

**COMING SOOOOOON**

Stay safe and lots of loveeee!

Hello my creative bunnies!

This year I’m looking to experiment with a more creaturesque style. I absolutely ADORE all the beauty, the fashion, the vintage, the theatrical but I’ve decided I’m really going to step it up a notch.

I find it so inspiring watching movies, reading stories and old folk tales and I’m always so mesmerised and fascinated by the creatures I see. My passion is all about manipulating the human figure and I feel transforming someone into a whole new creature is the ultimate transformation.

A film that have seen really that has really caught my attention include the absolutely B-E-A-UTIFUL Guillermo Del Toro’s The Shape of Water. Absolutely everything about the movie is absolutely incredible - every shot of like a photograph of perfection. You can see a behind the scenes time lapse of the creature here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rP5Cisf0aKw

Of course that is an insane job but I’m going to start small and work my way until find my own level of creative human-creature satisfaction.

Other films I find with inspiring character references are Del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth and of course Jim Henson’s The Labyrinth is my old favourite. Anything magical and fantasy really captures my attention. Can you tell?

I simply love the idea of creating little pixies, magical creatures with fauna growing through their skin with magical viney head pieces. Organic mermaids with gills, webbed fingers and true ears or a siren. I really like the idea of dancing on the edge of being a humanoid. Below are some images I find a lot of inspiration in.. 

Please note these images do not below to me, credits below:

Image 2 - SHADOWSCULPT ooak fairy fantasy art doll

Image 3 - [Fantasy art] Butterfly Dreams by eric-chen at Epilogue

Image 4 - Scanned from “A Complete Guide to Special Effects Makeup”.

I’m going to to add a BRAND NEW section to my website called CREATURES. This will be an ongoing process but it will include all my photo and video exploits of this project including various SFX tests and results - think textures skin effects, organic horns, prosthetic ears and noses and more.

Concepts I’d really keen to focus on exploring within this project include pixies, mermaids, witches, vampires, goblins and demons. These are all very generic creatures however I embrace the challenge in creating them all in my own incredibly unique way. Using a mixture of prosthetics, special effects make-up, theatrical make-up, wigs and special products such a contact lenses and custom fangs I hope to create some truly captivating imagery.

I’m very excited to start this project. In the meantime if you have a creative project and think we could work together, please do get in touch!

I’ll keep you updated on my journey. <3
