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

The importance of Kit hygiene for a Makeup Artist.

I have struggled to write my blog over the past few weeks. I couldn't think of anything to write about. I now feel that I have a bit more of a routine at home. I have been keeping busy practicing hair and I have also started doing more videos. I am regularly on Instagram doing Live Videos so feel free to join me.

Should you have a Bridal Makeup Preview or not?

I have been keeping busy this year with as many photoshoots as possible. Earlier this year I worked with a great team and we created something fabulous. The shoot took place in an abandoned house near Lockerbie. We worked with Kippford Classic Car Hire to incorporate their Triumph Herald and it all just worked so well. I created a Golden brown smokey eye with Huda Beauty Smokey Obsessions Palette and teamed it with glowing luminous skin using Danessa Myricks Foundation. Th

Classic Car Photoshoot Dumfries and Galloway

I was back at GGs Yard again earlier this month for the wedding of the gorgeous Lauren. Lauren wanted a glowy natural makeup look with bronzer and highlight. I used Armani Luminous Silk and Chanel Bronzer for base and Tarte In Bloom Palette for neutral tones on the eyes. Lauren is a huge Charlotte Tilbury fan too so we bonded over that and Lauren had her own Duchess Lipstick to use on the day. Thank you to Lauren and her Bridal Party for a lovely chilled morning.

Abandoned 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

New Wedding Venue Galloway Activity Centre in Dumfries and Galloway.

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

It's safe to say that Wedding Season has officialy begun with a week of trials ahead of me. I have managed to get a few photos from weddings last weekend. All of my photos are no filter and taken with my iPhone 8 plus camera. #weddingmakeup #weddingmakeupartist #scottishwedding #makeupartist #scottishmakeup #scottishmua #auchencastle #nofilter #bridalmakeup #bridal

Sneaky peek from my latest photoshoot.

I have had a Youtube channel for a while now but I haven't been uploading regularly. I have started over with some brand new content. I am in the process of ordering a microphone as I have noticed in my new videos that the sound isn't great. I can't wait to get more videos on the channel. If there are any looks you would like to see then please let me know. #makeupartist #makeupbyhania #mua #youtube #youtubechannel #charlottetilbury #pillowtalk

There is so much to think about planning a wedding and some extras you maybe hadn't considered. Wedding Makeup may not be on the top of your list but it is something that has a big impact on your photos. If you are spending a lot on a Wedding Photographer you may want to consider hiring a Makeup Artist. You aren't only getting a pretty makeover, a Professional Wedding Makeup Artist will use high quality makeup and skincare products. A wedding is a long day and you want your

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
