Nice to meet you. I’m Erin.

Makeup artist, creative enthusiast, and firm believer that getting your makeup done should actually be fun.

I’m an Edinburgh-based makeup artist specialising in weddings, occasions, and creative work, with a major soft spot for colour, individuality, and anything a little outside the norm.

My job is never to turn you into somebody else. It’s to create makeup that feels completely like you.

My route into makeup wasn’t exactly conventional

I spent three years performing as a drag queen, surrounded by people who treated makeup as art, armour, and pure self expression. That completely changed the way I looked at beauty.

I later graduated with an HND in Makeup Artistry from Edinburgh College, where I trained across wedding, editorial, catwalk, colour theory, and professional makeup techniques.

After working professionally in beauty and gaining experience as a makeup artist at John Lewis, I eventually took the leap into freelance work. Since then, I’ve worked across weddings, fashion, creative projects, performances, and London Fashion Week,

My chair is a judgement-free zone

You don’t need to know makeup. You don’t need to arrive with the perfect reference photo. You don’t even need to know exactly what you want yet.

We can talk through ideas, experiment, change our minds, put your favourite music on, or just have a calm moment away from everything else going on around you.

I work with people of all genders, skin types, ages, identities, and levels of makeup experience. I’ve also worked extensively with LGBTQIA+ clients and organisations, including LGBT Youth Scotland, and i’m comfortable adapting products and techniques around individual skin needs.

Outside the Makeup Bag

I’m usually somewhere between a concert, a pole studio, an enormous makeup kit, and a suspiciously large collection of cute little plush creatures.

I love alternative fashion, horror, live music, creative projects, and people who get wildly enthusiastic about the things they love. If you sit in my chair and start telling me about your current obsession, there’s an extremely high chance I’ll be absolutely delighted.
