How long have you been doing hair & makeup?

I’ve been a freelance hair and makeup artist in London for 4 years now and absolutely love my job!  I did my makeup training with ‘BAFTA award winning artist’ Louise Constad, and then went onto work for NARS in Selfridges for a year, gaining experience through assisting other well known artists on high end fashion and editorial shoots.  Tori herself trained me in bridal hair styling, she’s a fabulous teacher! After becoming a member of her Pro Team, I was able to put my skills in hair into practise very quickly and have learnt so much since.

What are your career highlights?

One of my main career highlights was while working for Tori’s Pro Team. A Bride I had previously worked with in the UK, invited me to her home in Delhi, India to do her hair/makeup for an entire week of wedding celebrations. Each event was absolutely breathtaking, with such vibrant colours in the most exotic place. I will never forget getting her ready on her wedding morning- it was such a unique experience.

Why do you love working on weddings?

I love working with Brides because I get to share the most magical morning of someone’s life with them, and often get to hang out with all their family and friends too! I enjoy working under pressure as there’s always a few nerves and anticipation involved and I definitely thrive in that atmosphere.  I enjoy getting to know the current trends in bridal hair and makeup, and while a relaxed more natural look is definitely my style, I look forward to getting to hear your inspiration and ideas for your big day and working with you to create your dream look.

What are your must have products in your kit?

I’m a huge fan of Nars products and absolutely cannot live without their ‘Laguna’ Bronzer- it suits every skin tone! I also adore Laura Mercier’s radiance primer as it helps give that perfect bridal glow.

Fancy name dropping some celebrities or big publications you’ve worked on?

I’ve recently worked with Talia Storm (E4’s Celebs Go Dating) and have also worked on HELLO! Fashion Magazine with lots of familiar faces! One of my highlights from last year was getting to do hair and makeup for the British Editor of Vogue in her hotel room at Claridges! My bridal work has been featured in some top wedding blogs (Style Me Pretty, Magnolia Rouge) and Absolutely Weddings Magazine.
