IN THE NEWS:THE INTERVIEW!

WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
There are too many things to mention them all!I am definitely inspired by other artists works and creations as well as all the creatives I meet and work with.

WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE ARTIST?
Henri Matisse is my favourite artist. I especially like work from his fauvist period and the intensity of colour and line that he uses in his paintings.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR MAKE-UP STYLE?
Flawless, natural and soft make-up,yet smokey, sultry and sexy to create the wow factor!

DO YOU HAVE A BEAUTY ICON?
My beautiful mother of course, many years have been spent watching her beautifying!She is both beautiful on the inside and out and continues to astound me...

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE MAKE-UP TECHNIQUE?
I love to use MAC eyepaint as an eyebase before eyeshadow, buffing a small amount across the entire eyelid. Using an eyebase is so important to achieve long lasting true colour eyeshadow by evening out the skintone on the lid and providing a perfectly primed blank surface to add colour.

WHAT ARE YOUR BEAUTY NO-NO'S?
-Sharing make-up argh! just no!
-Botox and surgery for the sake of beauty- definitely not!
-Bad beauty hygiene that includes sleeping with make-up on, and keeping dirty, old products and cosmetic purses.

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BEST MAKE-UP MOMENT?
Assisting Val Garland at the 'Armani One Night Only' show was a memorable experience, especially meeting Mr.Armani himself!

WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST MAKE-UP MEMORY?
Playing dress up at about age four!I remember something involving a plastic toy telephone(present from my auntie), high-heels and lots of blue eye shadow!

DO YOU HAVE A GENERAL BEAUTY BELIEF?
Believe it or not we can all benefit from a few light touches of make-up!

ANY TOP TIPS?
-Invest in a good set of make-up brushes. They do a lot of the hard work for you and as long as you keep them clean, and look after them they will last you forever.
-Look after your hands, moisturise them daily as they will show your age in the future.
-Always use an eye base for flawless eyeshadow and a perfect skintone.
-A dab of highlighter at the inner and outer corner of the eyes really wakes the eyes up! If you are feeling tired, its a great one for brightening the eye.
