Hey! I'm Yvonne.

Makeup Artist / Crazy Dog Lady / Dancer / Lip Balm Addict / Serial Oversharer and Secret Introvert

Mama to 3 children, 2 crazy Vizsla's, business owner and fitness enthusiast, I'm a busy gal! 
I KNOW how it feels to have a to-do list as long as your arm, so I created this service to give you the luxury of time and peace of mind. 

For 17 years I worked in the accounts department of a global corporation.  As well as being AAT qualified, I took my degree in Animal Science, and spent my weekends working on the cat welfare team at Woodgreen Animal Shelter.  Both of these careers eventually led me to being able to provide the service that I've created today...one that is centred around precision, organisation patience, empathy and the ability to stay calm and attentive in any situation.  That blend of structure and care is at the heart of my bridal service - thoughtful planning paired with a genuinely nurturing approach - so you feel supported and completely at ease from the moment you sit in my chair.

10 Years Ago...I fell pregnant with my third child...and that was the moment that completely changed my life....

With 3 small children under 4 years old, I made the decision to leave work and become a stay at home mum. It was 6 weeks into being a new mum that I randomly signed up to a network marketing scheme (errr hello!?! What were my weird ass hormones thinking???) and from here I found a love for makeup I didn't even know I had!

So it turns out that one random move was the beginning of the rest of my life....the universe taking the reigns and putting me on the path I was craving but couldn't quite find.

 

FUN FACT:
I Became THIS close to training to become a florist!

 While I'll never be the loudest person in the room, choosing makeup as a career forced me to be sociable in ways that had me breaking out in a hot sweat before.  Obviously I love animals more than people, and I'll get on with you allll day if you're a fellow Scorpio, but being an introvert and spending your time so close up in someone's face, forces you to come out of your shell.  Back in the early days, I read lots of books on how to find the confidence to make conversation, and now I love how at ease I can make my brides (and those nervous mums!). 

Makeup has been the perfect career for me that has grown along with raising my family.  Back in the early days it kept me sane when I had 3 very small children, and now they're a little older it is my happy place, my goals, my social network and my income.  I feel so lucky I get to work with some of the UK's biggest brands, the sweetest brides and also have the chance to travel around the UK and Europe doing what I love.  Makeup for me isn't just about creating a pretty look...it's always been so much more xx

Not only has makeup changed my career, it's completely changed who I am!
