About Me

I am a Freelance Makeup Artist in the Vancouver area of British Columbia, Canada. I am originally from the UK and immigrated to Vancouver in 2007.

I am self taught and have been applying makeup on people since I was 10 years old. I love colour and specialize in bright, fantasy makeup however, I also love to do subtle bridal and makeover makeup. My clients are mostly women but have done makeup for guys too.

I am also a face & body painter, painting skin head to toe, including pregnant bellies. I use skin safe, cosmetic face and body paint. My clients include IKEA Canada, ToysRUs, Royal Bank of Canada and various schools, events and private parties in the Lower Mainland.

I use water based cosmetic face paint called Snazaroo. It's a British company that I have been using for over 20 years. I also use Wolfe and sometimes Kryolan too. I use sponges and brushes for all my face and body painting. I use the Dinair airbrush system on brides etc. I wrote an eBook called 'Simple Face Painting' for purchase from my website. It details the top 10 most popular faces amongst kids and shows you how to recreate them in a step by step format. It also details the paint, brushes and sponges and tips and tricks. You can find it under the eProducts tab on my website. I'm hoping to have some videos up soon. Thank you and blessings! Xoxo
