I was asked to do the make-up for the Shopping from Home Informercial the other day, working with the fabulous Kathy Hoffman. It is a television programme on RTE which sells products that you can buy from the comfort of your own home.
I got to work with Cheryl from the band Bucks Fizz, a band that won the Eurovision in 1981 with the catchy song “Making Your Mind Up”. You can see the song below:
This is a shot of me with John Aldridge from a few months ago, I forgot to post the image, so here it is. He is a really down to earth gentleman. I know he is a hero to alot of Irish men out there.
Craig decided he would like to do my make-up for a change 
I love doing the make-up for RTE’s “The Panel”, it is always good craic and there are such varied guests, I never know who I am going to meet! I have worked with Jason Donovan, Charlie Boorman, Chris Eubank, John Aldridge, Caprice, Fionnuala Flanagan just to name a few. It certainly has led to some very interesting conversations.
Dustin is a very cheeky chappy and kept trying to kiss me!
Hi Guys,
I have been super busy on a whole host of different TV shows the last couple of weeks. One of these TV Shows is called the Savage Eye which is a Comedy Sketch Show that will be broadcast on RTE in January.
I had the great privilege of assisting a wonderfully talented Make-Up Artist, Siobhan Harper Ryan. She has had an inspiring career, past work includes Titty Bang Bang and Bo Selecta. You can check out some images of her work here. I learnt so much from her, in particular about applying facial hair and lace wigs, which in the past I did not have that much experience with.
There are so many funny characters in the show, it is definitely going to be hilarious. Keep your eyes peeled for when it will be airing around January some time as it is definitely not to be missed!
Here are some images from behind the scenes:

A very special person came into the Make-Up Room! I think most of you will know who it is
Chris Eubank and I
I did the Make-Up for Chris Eubank recently, he was really please with the Make-Up and said “you are really good at this you know”. Nice to get some positive feedback. However when he went on the show he said: “I don’t know what the Make-Up Artist has done, but she has made me look bald”. He is such a funny guy! I didn’t do anything to his hair…he doesn’t have any!
He was really impressed with the finish that an airbrush gives and is thinking about getting one. I use the Graftobian walk around system.
It is a water based make-up that gives the skin a flawless naturally matte finish. It is particularly good for television as a lot of the cameras are HD and pick up every detail!
