Going to the theatre & exhibitions, reading Italian Vogue with only pigeon italian!! Having a picnic in the sunshine with music in the background.

East is East, Audrey Hepburn classics, Sex & the City, The Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile, Saving Private Ryan, Misery (now there's an oldie)

Jazz, Blues & pop

Zadie Smith usually hits the nail right on the head. I also adore my beloved fashion and make-up books such as Vogue by Linda Watson and A Beautiful Life written about Kevyn Aucoin.

Working hard to obtain the right look, working with others who have the same goal adding to my portfolio and skills.

Lazy people who churn out the same old stuff time after time, drives me crazy!

Professional make-up artist based in the north but also do shoots (and weddings) in the south too. Just back from working at London Fashion Week which was a great experience. Doing intensive hairstyling for shoots course in london last week Oct 08 so from Nov 08 will be able to provide hairstyling for shoots also.

Please check out more of my work on my website, google me and you will find it.
Hope you love it, julie

Make-up for photoshoots, test shoots, catwalk shows, pr events, bridal. Just finished pretty big billboard job and my work has been published in Ulster Bride, White Wedding Pages and Accent magazine. I completed a 3,000 word thesis on make-up through the decades from 1920's to current day so I've a good idea of era's for retro-styled shoots.
