It is safe to say that I am a textbook empath. In 17 years of doing makeup, not only have I learned so much about products and application, but it has also grown my emotional understanding and compassion.
I understand the pressures of celebrities and talent about to perform and believe it's my duty to create a calm space to help them mentally prepare as well as helping them feel the best version of themselves.
This naturally extends into the world of animals and the planet, which is why I choose to only use cruelty-free, vegan, and clean products in my kit.
Whether you're fully fledged vegan or you're just wanting to support cruelty free brands, hopefully I have covered what you are looking for! I always thinking up ideas on what to write about and feature so feel free to comment on the blogs with your feedback or DM me on Instagram.

My career as a
From the age of 11, I knew I wanted to be a makeup artist. What initially drew me in were the special effects—the blood, the gore, and the creativity. I even made my friends look pale and tired so they could skip science class!
After college, I launched myself into the world of makeup. They tell you to pick one area in the industry, but if I had followed that advice, honestly- I wouldn't have had 90% of the incredible life experiences I've been lucky enough to have.
I said "yes" to everything—from working with the Army all over the world and being part of Marvel movies to heading makeup teams for Paris Fashion Week, global Body Shop campaigns, BBC dramas, cooking shows, magazine front covers, and a multitude of weddings. I even ran a makeup agency for a while.
In addition to my work as a makeup artist, I founded The EMJ Company with my mother, creating kit accessories for makeup artists. We sold thousands of items worldwide.
My mother is now semi-retired, so we decided that part of our story had come to an end. However, the lessons I learned through being an entrepreneur are priceless and have certainly given me a taste for owning my own brand, which I hope to do again in the future.
The biggest lesson this weird and wonderful career has taught me is that it really is all about the journey and less about the destination (cheesy, I know).
My Baby Berry has changed our entire sleep pattern...for the better! I doubt many parents say that. She taught me to take my sleep seriously. So I Invested in a WHOOP watch and honestly- I am in bed by 8:30 now. Here are some things that help me wind down in the evenings you might like to try.

loving

What I'm
learning
More about nutrition. For both me and my baby. I have been facinated with Brian Johnson and implementing some of his practices into my life
What I'm
not about
TUMI and Shein. They are riddled with slave labour and fabrics that are terilble for the planet.
what I
believe
If we all knew what happened in slaughter houses, everyone would be Plant Based.
