My passion for make up began from a young age sitting watching my beautiful Mum apply her own makeup. I collected endless shades of eye shadows and lipsticks, not to mention the stacks of make up books and magazines piled high in my bedroom, I was obsessed! My creative, artistic flair for make-up opened a door for me with MAC cosmetics in the mid nineties, I was very fortunate to meet one of the founders of MAC, Frank Angelo. I gained extensive training and participated in some amazing fashion shows alongside two of the industry’s elite – David Horne and Terry Barber. Starting my own business in 2001 has presented me the opportunity to work with some incredible photographers, highly talented hairdressers and of course so many (over 1000) wonderful brides. I am an official Delilah stockist, you will find the full award winning collection in my home studio. I am also part of the Delilah Cosmetics Events Team which involves me travelling to high end salons and spas demonstrating my passion for the brand through makeup master classes and training sessions. Make up is my passion, the confidence and happiness that my work brings to my customers warms my heart and fills me with pride. Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.’ Rumi

My makeup kit is full of luxurious, beautiful products of which I can proudly say are 100% vegan , 100% cruelty free and also British. It takes years of working in the industry to build a quality kit that you know gives the best results, super proud to work with and of course proudly show off. I have always been very selective about the products/brands I use on my clients & I can assure you all products are tried and tested before I decide to include them in my kit. My chosen brands I work with are: Award Winning and Makeup Brand of the Year - Delilah, Charlotte Tilbury, Studio10 and Tropic.
