About
Over the past 2 decades I have carved out a varied and interesting career as a bridal, TV and fashion makeup artist. My first break came in landing the amazing role of Lancôme’s National Makeup Artist, covering events and promotions all over Ireland. I found myself out on the road representing the brand at events such as Dublin Fashion Week and Xposé Live, and at makeover demo’s in Brown Thomas, Debenhams and other promotions nationwide. My early years with Lancôme were a truly invaluable and excellent experience, allowing me to work on everyone from men to mature ladies to fashion models.

My makeup work from glamour to gore featured regularly on RTE, TG4, TV3 Xposé, BBC, Sky Sports and Irish TV. I have worked on many celebrity shoots and for publications such as Confetti Magazine, Woman’s Way, The Irish Times, Irish Independent, The Daily Mail, You Magazine, RTE Online Beauty Blog and Surreal Beauty Magazine US. With such experience, I understand the effect of lighting and photography on make-up, and how to make each client look flawless with long-lasting results.

In my spare time I am an obsessive beekeeper and gardener, and have recently moved to a beautiful piece of land in Kilkenny. I now focus much of my attention (when not looking after my lovely brides!) on natural living – keeping bees, teaching about bees, growing veg, building a permaculture landscape and making beautiful skincare balms with beeswax.
