ABOUT
My passions in life have always been makeup, spirituality and energy healing. I love my career as a Makeup Artist and have so much gratitude for the past 20 years that have been filled with incredible people and experiences. I’ve walked a spiritual path for many years and it gives my life purpose, fills it with joy and brings me blessings every day. After a recent life changing health issue, living a healthy and balanced life has now became even more important than ever before, its actually shifted me in a new direction.
Through my own journey I have learned that without self-love, self-acceptance and self-worth we can’t be truly happy in life. It’s taken me a long time to be able to accept myself just as I am and feel comfortable within my skin. It’s not been an easy ride, but a wonderful learning experience that I now want to share with other women to help them achieve the same peace that I have found in life. One thing I do know is that beauty shines from within. No amount of makeup highlighter will make you glow as much as having peace in your soul and light in your heart. I help women connect to their Divine Beauty and see themselves through the eyes of love.
“I am on a mission to help women connect to their Divine Beauty and feel vibrant and beautiful within their skin”
“True beauty is to be yourself and accept yourself. To connect with the light deep within and not care what anybody else thinks of you”
In my 20 year career as a Makeup Artist and Beauty Expert I have been fortunate to have worked with many of the worlds leading brands, as well as a string of A-list celebrities. I currently reside between London and Dubai where I founded ILLUMIN8 Makeup Studio in 2011, the first International Makeup and Hair Academy in the region. ILLUMIN8 has now evolved into an online Academy teaching women more than just makeup, it teaches women how to embrace their uniqueness and live life with confidence and joy.
I have two decades of experience working in fashion, beauty and television as a Makeup Artist and Beauty Expert. My passion has led me to work with some of the worlds leading brands including Chanel, Dior, Vogue and Harpers Bazaar. I was also the Regional Makeup Artist for Gucci Cosmetics in the Middle East, a truly amazing role that I loved!
My celebrity client list includes Margot Robbie, Rita Ora, Kendall Jenner, Naomi Harris, Gerard Butler, Cristiano Ronaldo, Liam Hemsworth, Orlando Bloom and supermodels such as Alessandra Ambrosio and Yasmin Le Bon.
Travelling the world for work and running my own business took its toll in 2016 when I began to experience some life altering health issues. I have spent the past years studying, researching and learning from some of the world’s leading professionals. Using the knowledge I am constantly gaining on my ongoing healing journey I realised I could help women on a deeper level than just teaching them makeup alone.
I believe makeup has the power to change peoples lives in many ways. Whether its finding self-confidence, covering scars or acne or helping someone connect to their true beauty by learning to accept themselves for who they are.
With over twelve years of integrating energy healing into my makeup career, I have always seen beauty through a holistic lens and understand that attaining balance in all areas of your life is more important than just wearing makeup and focusing on the outside. I know that by understanding emotional and spiritual needs, this helps us see that everything is connected.
I teach women that looking good, to feel good is important, but being healthy and balanced in all areas of your life is key to living a joyful life.
