FROM THE ARTIST

"Dedicating the majority of my career to commercial work I am grateful to have gained so much experience with different styles, faces and hair and whilst working with professional models is very rewarding nothing beats seeing the reactions of my real brides and real women. Creating custom looks for them and watching their confidence grow as we highlight their natural beauty will always be my favorite part of my job! "

FAVORITE PRODUCT

"Good prep is so important. Right now my go to primer is The Ordinary high-spreadability fluid primer. Whether sheer or full coverage, it creates the perfect base for foundation.  Also Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze is a game changer for creating those wonderful fluffy brows that will stay in place all day. A new addition to my kit that will take a lot to beat!"

    Completely loved working with you yesterday.  You really are hugely talented and I’m so happy with how you made me look.  I really wouldn’t want anyone else doing my makeup.

    As someone who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup I was apprehensive about using a makeup artist but Jay really put me at ease.  She listened to what I liked and created a look I was not only comfortable with but that I loved.  I had so many compliments that day that I booked her again for my next event
