The reddest red of reds ❤️💄😍

I do hair with makeup services such as for weddings or special occasions.
My style is generally relaxed, soft, wearable hair rather than more formal looks but you can always ask if there’s something specific in your mind!

Working here with the lovely Laura here in Ilkley.

Would you go this red? I totally would though I think my kids would not be amused 😝

It’s been a few weeks, but wishing the happiest of 18th birthdays ever!
Make up and hair is magic and transitioning from every day to party is always fun and a privilege on my end🌷💋💕

FYI my pics are real snaps, I don’t use any filters so you can really see what you get rather than some AI makeup look. This is makeup for real women who want to look like themselves just better.

Love M

Amen to this. It’s January. Make-up probably isn’t at the top of your mind. But…. if you know it has the capacity to change you on the outside - perhaps it can help support you on the inside?

If not use feel free this post as a prompt for whatever you need to help you find YOUR happy

The end of a makeup lesson. Messy but creative. Smiles, confusion about products, can I use glitter? (Yes!) understanding the how and why.. and where to put your blusher. Making notes. Playing and exploring.
