Firstly, no prizes for guessing I’m a Mum and make up lover. A very tired 40-something parent who’s battle to find the perfect concealer is ongoing. Indeed, the struggle is real!

Secondly, I am trained make up artist. I had a career pre children however I put that on hold as my two cheeky boys have Autism. As a result they had to become my everything for a while. They are the light of my life. They have taught me patience I never knew existed and have shown me it’s the simple stuff in life that’s important.

However I still LOVE everything make up and fashion – it makes me smile, it makes me happy and it can bring colour to a dull day. Although beauty does come from within , one can never underestimate the power of a kick ass lippy and mascara combo.
