Who I am
Born and raised in Ballincollig, Co. Cork, I attended Colaiste Choilm. Following Leaving Cert I went on to pursue Psychology at UCC. Makeup had always been a passion of mine, so when I took a makeup course as a hobby I fell in love immediately. I followed my dream, built my own business and am so lucky to be where I am today.
Where I workIn 2016 I set up my home studio on the west side of Ballincollig town. Separate from the main house and with a separate entrance, I mainly work from here. House calls can also be arranged, for an additional fee which depends on the location.
For weddings I travel all around Cork and Munster regularly. BridalOne of the my favourite parts of my job is working with so many brides. It is so special a part of a wedding morning and to help create that "bridal beauty". These photographs will be cherished forever more so it is always an honour. Again, I fine tune each look to suit the individual style of my brides.

I also offer various makeup lessons.
One-to-one personal lessons allow you to master your own makeup, and ask any questions Bring a friend or two along for a fun girly activity. One-to-one artistry lessons are for those learning to do makeup on others or artists looking to upskill in particular techniques. Celebs

Gift Certificates
Gift vouchers are available for purchase in person, and online here.
Quiz
Makeup can be super hard to explain because it's a visual process. Explaining your style can be even harder because one person's "smokey eye" is another person's "natural eye". I created this quiz to help people find and define their personal makeup style.
Media Work
I work as an on set makeup artist for various multimedia productions including photoshoots, live shows, video shoots, runway shows, television etc.
