Hair & MakeupHair and makeup is the foundation of almost every production I work on. Whether that's a natural, barely-there makeup for a commercial, a polished editorial style for a photoshoot, a period appropriate style for a theatre production, or camera ready grooming for a corporate shoot, I cover the full spectrum, for all skin tones, hair types and genders.
My background in screen, theatre and media makeup means I understand how looks translate on HD camera, what reads well under different lighting conditions, what holds up across a long day, and how to work efficiently without ever compromising on finish. On set I work efficiently, communicate clearly, and keep things moving. I know how precious time is on a production.

Having trained on the legendary and Oscar-winning Peter Swords King’s media makeup course, I’ve had the utmost joy working on some spectacular high end TV shows, film productions and commercials.
A note on my gallery
Many of the productions I work on are protected by NDA and strict no-photography policies on set, which means some of my most significant work simply can't be shown here. What you see is a fraction of the full picture. I'm happy to discuss my experience and credits in more detail. Just get in touch.
