Something I never thought I would do is sign up to a beauty business like Tropic! I have been approached many many times in the past from people to sign up to various beauty businesses (NuSkin, The Body Shop at Home and Younique to name a few) and I am always very sceptical. So why Tropic? I first got introduced to Tropic last year through a friend of a friend who asked if I could review a few makeup products. I was sceptical as I knew it would consist of someone trying to

Back in July I was contacted to do Makeup for Women Together Magazine. The Cover star was Scots Poet Jackie Kay. Jackie was a lovely lady to work with. The Shoot took place in the Kelvingrove Cafe and The Hidden Lane in Glasgow. Women Together is a Magazine by the Scottish Womens Institute created by Connect. I had a great afternoon with Jackie, Pauline from Connect and photographer Mark Watson. #makeup #publishedmakeupartist #scottishmakeupartist #scottishwomensinstitute

Classic Car Photoshoot Dumfries and Galloway

Another busy month and another photoshoot done and dusted. I was working with the lovely Danni Cairns Model again as well as local Photographer Kit Carruthers. As always, I like to get involved with the shoots and I am always happy to help out ;) I can't wait to share the final images. In the meantime here are some behind the scenes images. #makeup #makeupartist #dumfries #dumfriesmakeupartist #makeupbyhania #moffatmakeupartist #photoshoot #dumfriesandgalloway #editorialphot

I absolutely love seeing the final images from photoshoots. I previously shared the Behind the scenes images from a recent shoot and now I can share the finished ones. The concept behind this photoshoot was drama. I loved the idea of a darker makeup look and deep colours against the green backgrounds. When looking for a photographer for this shoot, I came across Indreturbo on Instagram and I immediately loved her style of work and felt that it would be perfect for the photos

Sneaky peek from my latest photoshoot.

Last week I attended my first Masterclass of 2019. This time it was with the amazing Danessa Myricks in Manchester. I missed the chance to see Danessa last year in London so when I heard that she was going to be in Manchester for a 2 day masterclass I signed up immediately. On the 1st day Danessa showcased 2 looks and on the 2nd day we got to work on a model and create our own looks. I created 3 looks focusing on glowing skin and added colour on the eyes using Colourpop Cos

When it comes to Wedding Makeup (and makeup in general) I get asked a lot of questions and decided to write a blog with some of the most common questions. 1. What foundation do you recommend for mature skin? My personal favourite is definitely Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder Foundation. I wear this myself and it's a favourite of Mother of the Bride/Grooms. It's more of a tinted moisturiser and is lovely and dewy. I would avoid a matte finish Foundation or anything too heavy

Todays blog is all about the cost of Wedding Makeup. Lets be honest, Weddings can be expensive. There's no denying that the list of things required for weddings add up quickly. I want to break down Wedding Makeup costs (p.s its going to be a long blog). So what are you paying for when you hire a Professional Makeup Artist for your wedding? Let me start with a breakdown of the products I use in my kit. I will use Saturday's beautiful bride at GGS Yard for an example of wh

I am in love with the professional photos by Stephen Wardrop Photography from our last shoot at the Academy of Makeup Scotland The Shoot was inspired by bold colours and glowing skin. I used Colourpop Cosmetics Jelly Much cream eyeshadows to create the bold colours on the eyes and RCMA Foundation with the Ordinary Skin Serum for the dewy look. Looking forward to my next 2 photoshoots this month. More details coming soon. #makeupartist #photoshoot #makeup #makeupartistscotla

On Wednesday I attended the Mia Connor Masterclass in Dublin. I learnt so much and picked up some great techniques that I can't wait to try out. Mia was great and the looks she created were stunning. I can't wait to put everything I have learnt from my past 2 masterclasses in to action. #miaconnor #masterclass #makeup #makeupartist #makeupmasterclass #dublin #professionalmakeupartist
