I thought that I would write a quick not to update you on what I am up to as I have been fairly irregular with my blog posts of late. I have been incredibly busy with the summer weddings: have helped to make some beautiful brides smile over the last few months. I have to say, it is one of my favourite things to do!

I am also doing the Make-up for The Story of Motown in the Olympia Theatre again tomorrow, if you have not got your tickets yet, get them here.

I am also in the pre-production phase of the second series of the mocumentary ”Fran” for Setanta. Below is a clip from the first series.

Did this photoshoot recently for Aliquo Boutique’s Autumn/Winter collection of Jewellery for The Loft in the Powerscourt Centre. The designer is Alice Moyon and she creates feminine, delicate, pretty pieces of art. I particularly love the drop necklace with the bow and gorgeous hand painted black bead. The brief for make-up was something really simple and refined that reflected the autumn/winter feel of the shoot. We decided to keep the palette pale, shiny and opalescent, which complimented the black, antique gold and blue colours of the jewellery beautifully.

I have been a bit delayed in posting this, these are shots from a couple of weeks ago, but I guess better late than never. These are some behind the scenes images of the feature film that I am the Head Make-Up Artist on. It is directed by Phil Winston and is an independently funded film being shot in Coolock. The working title of the film is 166.87.66.6, but I am hoping that they go for something simpler like Uri-el. The story centres around a young boy called Daniel who discovers that human beings aren’t the only beings on this planet and is brought right into the middle of a fight between Angels and Demons.

I would just like to take this opportunity to say a BIG THANK YOU to my wonderful assistant Stefania, I couldn’t have done it without her

I was asked to do a high profile quiz event in Clontarf Castle last Thursday.  The event was in aid of the charity “To Russia With Love” to raise much needed funds.

Here are some behind the scenes photographs, some professional shots will follow soon. The model was David Mulqueen a personal trainer/director from The Edge Clontarf, a personal training facility based in Clontarf. I am no expert, but I think he might be good at his job if his abs are anything to go by.

I have  been talking to a few people in the Transgender/Cross Dressing Community of late and there seems to be a real need for a make-over service similar to The Boudoir Dressing Service in London theboudoironline.com

This is something that I would love to do, so if there is anyone out there that needs help and advice with creating your perfect look, please get in touch. I can do the Make-Over for you, teach you the skills so you can do it yourself, help with shopping and wigs etc.

Here is a photoshoot that I did with Damien recently…I helped him transform into Roxy

I regularly share my knowledge and techniques with budding make-up artists. Here are a few shots from my “Fantasy Make-Up Class”

Did a photoshoot with the talented Phantom FM Radio Presenter Laura Lee-Conway. We headed out to the IFSC to do an alternative photoshoot. It was good fun except for at one stage poor Laura was groped by an over eagre teenager from the area, it was pretty funny! If she wasn’t in so much shock I am sure he would have got a smack
