Roxburgh House/Macmillan Day Care

I am now providing monthly makeup sessions and tips in a therapeutic setting for patients receiving specialist palliative care. The first session was very enjoyable and rewarding for me and from the feedback the patients enjoyed it also-looking forward to the next session in a couple of weeks time. The staff do an amazing job and it really is such an uplifting and happy place. They are also collecting for the Romanian Shoe Box appeal so if anyone would like to donate toys, toothbrushes, pencil, paints etc o anything a child would like that would fit in a shoe box you can hand in to :

LONDON FASHION WEEK (AUTUMN '011)

I'm delighted and very honoured to have been chosen to be part of Lan Ngyuen's team at LFW and will be heading the middle of September. It is going to be amazing and is my 2nd time at LFW -it is one of the most amazing things for a hair/makeup artist to experience and can only be described as very organised chaos and drama! It's fantastic to be one very small cog in a large wheel and to see the designer's collections and work with other artists and Toni & Guy etc is wonderful. I will be updating on this very soon. Another great thing is I get to see my hair/makeup artist buddy Serena Locatelli who is based in London.  http://www.serenalocatelli.com/

 I was recommended by Lyndsey Allan (Dancer/Choreographer and Bunny Girl) to create hair and makeup for Dress Designer Christina Beth Kean's new collection. The venue was the 'Mansion House' -Glasgow and as it was an early start I travelled through the evening before. John Johnston (Photographer) shot the collection and Rachel Monaghan modelled.

SMALLPETITKLEIN DANCE COMPANY

 In July, I was recommended to the Internationally-renowned 'Smallpetitklein' Dance Company by Photographer/Film maker Dylan Drummond. http://www.dundee.com/dylan-drummond/work/photography-dylan-drummond-son-sea.html
 I was commisioned to create hair and makeup for the 4 dancers who are appearing in their production of 'Carmen' and I used hairpieces and strong makeup to complement the production. I also did photographic makeup for the team's headshots which are to be used to promote the organisation. The day was fun and energetic and was photographed and filmed by Dylan. Myself and hair assistant Laura Baird arrived the evening before and stayed in one of the villas near Woodend Barn, Banchory as we had an early start.
