This is an example of a makeover transformation of a young newly transitioning mtf client of mine

This is an example of a makeover transformation of a young newly transitioning mtf client of mine. Her face is cropped for client privacy and anonymity. . I taught her how to dress to suit her changing body shape from hormone treatment, and how less is always more in the style stakes. . I showed how to cover any residual beard shadow with makeup tricks which would be easy for her to do on a day to day basis-without resorting to heavy coverage camouflage. I also reshaped her eyebrows which made an enormous difference to feminising the face. . I used Nars foundation stick Kryolan colour wheel Clinique lip balm L'Oreal eyebrow pencil . . . .

A selection of my favourite makeup brushes and products from @primark

A selection of my favourite makeup brushes and products from @primark.beauty . I was browsing in Primark Oxford st and checked out their new beauty products which apparently have had a recent significent financial investment. I was really impressed with their makeup brushes which I then bought for a transgender MTF client so she could experiment with her newly learnt makeup application techiques, taught by me, with these brilliant inexpensive makeup tools. The brush prices ranged from £1-£2.50 and were excellent in both texture and balance between softness and firmness for application and blending away. The key to a good make application is blending and blending away. Its not all about countouring as seen in so many airbrushed insta MUA posts. It's so important to be able to blend away, especially for a trans girl who may still be covering her remaining beard growth during her laser/electrolysis/hormone treatments with layers of concealer products, foundation and powdering to set. However blending away is important for all girls whether it's eyeshadow, foundation, concealer or blusher. . . The brushes shown here include double ended brushes: Angled eyebrow brush Eyeshadow and concealer brush Apply and blend brush Foundation and concealer brush Powder and finish brush And Blender sponge Mattifying powder And an artist palette of eyeshadows. Great makeup tools for starting out. Total £29! ( i doubled up on some of the brushes for my client) . . . .

Selfie in a taxi late for an event

Selfie in a taxi late for an event. When there a no time to go home between work and an evening event. @georgiedallamoredonnelly What does a girl do when still wearing flats and no makeup? You go to Peter Jones and do a whole makeup on the Laura Mercier counter with their testers and buy a pair of heels on sale reduced from £90 to £45. Result! . . . . .

Frida Kahlo @vamuseum London


Excited for the press preview of Frida Kahlo exhibition at the V&A. . . . . .
Frida Kahlo @vamuseum London. Frida was a unique style icon with her monobrow which she enhanced with makeup, red lips and flowers in her hair. Even with lifelong ill health and adversity she remained extraordinarily stylish in her image.

Frida Kahlo @vamuseum London.

Frida was beset by health problems throughout her life from contracting Polio as a child to injuries sustained in a car accident which affected her to her early death.
However she remained stoic and stylish all through her pain…


Frida Kahlo @vamuseum London. Even after a leg amputation Frida remained true to her own unique personal style customising her prosthetic leg with a stylish decorated boot.

2 more of my age 50plus ladies Styled by me for the @lookfabforever TV commercial

2 more of my age 50plus ladies Styled by me for the @lookfabforever TV commercial. "Act the age you feel" is the look on the left and "No olds barred" on the right. When you reach age 50 and beyond don't become invisible by dressing to fade into the background. Be bold with colour and design but always dress to flatter your bodyshape. . . . .
