I'm a creative, professional and passionate about my work as a makeup artist. Calm under pressure makes me the makeup artist of choice for TV, live broadcasts, and events, while my artistic, creative style has also won me work in film, and in fashion and editorial shoots.

My talent for creating the right look has seen me work on a diverse range of television productions, including BBC Breakfast News, ITV News, Crimewatch, The BBC 999 Awards, GMTV, Have I Got News For You, Sky's Soccer AM and Channel Five.

My film work has included Ralph Fiennes's Coriolanus, while my flair for interpreting the current makeup trends has seen my work appear in commercial ads for Nokia, Vodafone, Wispa and Debenhams. I have also done a number of fashion and editorial shoots for magazines including Vogue, Elle, Hello, and OK!

I have made up a huge variety of public figures and celebrities, including Trevor McDonald, Jon Snow and Kirsty Young on a regular basis, as well as Carol Vorderman, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Dustin Hoffman, Lenny Henry, John Barrowman, Jedward and The Stereophonics.
