Nice to meet you. I’m Erin.
My love for makeup began in an unexpected place. I spent three years performing as a drag queen, where I was inspired by the people around me to experiment, push boundaries, and play with colour. That experience still influences my work today, helping me to create looks that feel expressive, personal, and completely unique to each client.
A couple of years later, I graduated with an HND in makeup artistry from Edinburgh College. During my studies, I explored a wide range of styles, including wedding, editorial, and catwalk makeup, while building a strong understanding of colour theory and all the small details that help to really bring a look together.
I’ve been working professionally in the makeup industry since 2020. After gaining valuable experience as a makeup artist at John Lewis, I decided to take the leap and start my own freelance business.
Today, I work as a makeup artist in and around Edinburgh, and specialise in makeup that feels creative, colourful, and a little outside the norm, including alternative wedding and occasion makeup, and inclusive beauty services across Scotland. Whether you’re drawn to something subtle with an edge or something bold and expressive, my aim is always to help you feel confident, comfortable, and completely yourself.
I’m really proud to create a safe, inclusive, and judgment free space for anyone who’s into beauty. I’ve done a lot of work with LGBT Youth Scotland, which has helped me learn more about skincare and makeup ingredients that work well for people on hormone therapy
Outside of makeup,I love anything quirky, creative, a bit weird, and a little alternative. I’ll happily ramble about great music, and I genuinely love hearing what people are passionate about.
