I almost didn’t post this so am gonna do it real quick before I change my mind…

I’m a Finalist for ‘Best of Belfast’ in the Irish Makeup Awards 2026. 💖🫠

With so many incredibly talented makeup artists in Belfast, the imposter syndrome is real, 🫣 but one of the best in the biz told me to own it, so here I am.

I don’t have any fancy pics of myself, so here’s a snap by one of my gorgeous models after a full day photoshoot. Simultaneously shattered & deliriously happy, because I love what I do, from the hearts behind the faces I paint to the people I’m surrounded with as I do so 🥰

Thank you to those who nominated me for this award and to every one who asks me to paint their face for an occasion, their wedding day or as an act of self care.

It’s not just makeup.

👰🏻‍♀️ Ally: “I want to feel like myself on a really good day!” Could she look any more happy & radiant? 🤩💫

I used mostly cream products for a glowy, skin-like finish, finished with soft pink lips & individual lashes.

When twins, Moira & Jane treated oneother to a makeup lesson with me for their 70th Birthday, it was one of my favourite days in the salon. 💘

Their enthusiasm and passion for discovering new products & techniques was 🤩 and their sister banter had us all in stitches! 👯‍♀️😆

Thank you Moira & Jane for such a gorgeous afternoon… I loved meeting you both & your makeup was beautiful! 💖

I love teaching others how to do their makeup, from absolute beginners through to those wanting to master a specific look or technique. 💄✨

Brenna wanted a soft glam look with warm golden bronze tones, a mini wing & some sparkle. ✨

Swipe to see her looking stunning at her Christmas party later that evening… what.a.smile! 🤩

Aidan blow dried, curled & styled Brenna’s hair with a gorgeous big black velvet bow. 🖤
