My poodles enjoyed their first trip to Covent garden on the train stocking up on makeup for my kit!  Covent Garden has all the makeup stores you will ever need from Kiko to Charlotte Tilbury... makeup heaven : )

My Makeup Studio!

I have just set up a makeup studio in my home office and I love it!

I spent the Easter break decorating, sourcing furniture and finding storage solutions and I am really pleased with the results.  A clean, minimalist working space with a little added glamour.

I chose the Ikea 'Malm' Vanity unit http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/10203610/ as it is perfect with it's glass top it is great for wiping clean easily after makeup and also has a built in drawer for ample storage.

I opted for clear 'Godmorgon'  http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/70177477/ tabletop storage from Ikea as this is great for me to easily access tissues, cotton buds and pads.  Inside the drawer I added a few Ikea 'Kuggis' storage boxes http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/10280203/#/20280207

I have always wanted a light up hollywood mirror and I can honestly say my dreams have come true with this purchase from http://www.illuminated-mirrors.uk.com/bathroom-mirrors/hollywood-mirrors.html. I went for warm white LED bulbs so that they will give me great lighting for makeup and will last longer than ordinary bulbs.

I love my little addition of a lightbox from http://www.whitemint.co.uk

I also have created "Vogue corner".  I think it is fitting with all the issues I have collected over the years.

My first client was lovely Hazel who had her bridal makeup trial today and is getting married in August 2016.

March Update!

I hope you have all enjoyed a lovely Easter break and lots of chocolate bunnies and eggs!

I have spent the break decorating my home office into more of a studio environment.  Firstly the ceiling was re-plastered, then I got on with filling, sanding and painting which I have to say I do love doing!  I have ordered a few very exciting things, this being one!
Available at http://www.whitemint.co.uk

Most will be fitted in soon after the industrial carpet cleaning takes place next week.  Hopefully next month I can show you the finished article!





I have worked on some truly lovely brides at their March weddings.
