The Kit

People often ask what's actually in my kit, so here it is, organised by the brands I trust most, and why they've earned a permanent spot in my bag.

Makeup by Mario

Surreal Skin Foundation, my pick when the brief calls for glow over grip. It gives that lit-from-within finish that's buildable without ever tipping into heavy.

SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer, a cream bronzer-balm hybrid that gives soft, believable sculpting rather than harsh lines.

Ethereal Eyes Palette , glossy shimmers, sueded mattes and natural metallics that suit almost every eye colour and skin tone, and blend beautifully every time.

Master Mattes: The Original, warm-toned neutrals from soft white through rich terracotta and deep brown, finished with an intense black for definition. My pick for timeless, warm bridal eyes.

Master Mattes: The Neutrals, a cooler take on '90s-inspired neutrals, from cream through taupe. Worn alone or layered with The Original for endless variation.

Featherlight, blendable, and built to hold up through hours of photos and tears. Staples in my kit for every bride who wants soft, elevated eyes that never look overdone.

Dior

Backstage Face & Body Foundation, soft, blurring and effortlessly natural. It moves with the skin rather than sitting on top of it, which makes it a favourite for close-up, camera-ready work.

Natasha Denona

HY-GLAM Concealer, creaseless and luminous-matte, with skincare actives that brighten and depuff as they cover. This is where precision matters most, and it delivers every time.

Eyeshadow Palette, my go-to when a look calls for serious colour and pigment payoff, like editorial work.

Patrick Ta

Major Dimension Eyeshadow Palette, cream and powder shadows together in one palette, giving me the depth to take a look from soft daytime wash to full glam smoke without switching products.

Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo, cream underneath, powder on top, for a flush that looks like it's coming from within rather than sitting on the surface.

Make Up For Ever

Ultra HD Loose and Pressed Powder, soft-focus and blurring, built to hold up through the tears, the hugs, and the dancing.

Artist Colour Pencil Lip Liners, precise, long wearing definition in cool-toned shades that pair beautifully across a wide range of skin tones.

Hourglass

Ambient Lighting Palette, a personal favourite, and the quiet reason so many of my finished looks have that soft, lit-from-within glow. Photographs beautifully, every time.

Too Faced

Born This Way Super Coverage Concealer, full coverage with a soft-focus finish. Perfect for blemishes, redness and under-eye correction, without ever looking cakey.

Chocolate Soleil Melting Bronzing & Sculpting Stick, warmth and dimension in one swipe, melts into the skin rather than sitting on it.

Urban Decay

24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil, a genuine staple. Waterproof, smudge-proof, and steady from the ceremony through the last dance.

Rare Beauty

Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, weightless and buildable, for that natural, dewy flush I love on brides especially.

Soft Pinch Liquid Contour, streak-free and forgiving, even under studio lighting where every mistake shows.

Huda Beauty

Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder, my baking powder of choice. Flawless, long wear finish with zero flashback in photographs, which matters more than people realise.

Estée Lauder

Double Wear Foundation, recently reformulated, and I have to say, I'm a fan of the update. It's more fluid on application, easier to build without ever looking heavy, and the new skincare-infused formula (niacinamide and hyaluronic acid) keeps skin comfortable through a long day. Still the same reliable, colour-true wear I've always trusted for weddings, it just feels a little more like second skin now.

MAC

Lipstick, a timeless choice with reliable colour payoff, whatever finish the look calls for.

Every product in my kit earns its place through performance, not hype, because your wedding day, your shoot, your event
