Linda’s fresh, modern approach to makeup application has seen her quickly emerge as a successful professional makeup artist in high demand with brides, stylists and photographers. Linda’s areas of expertise involve the creation of clean, chic, flattering makeup looks. She will often use a vintage inspiration to create a look that is unmistakably modern.

Originally qualified with a BA Hons Degree in English and Philosophy, Linda describes herself as much more creative than academic. So a successful career in retail management working for fashion brands Zara, Topshop & Monsoon Accessorize eventually made way for Linda to follow her passion for makeup, first training as a Beauty Consultant and then a Makeup Artist. Now with over 7 years experience Linda has trained with some of the best in the beauty industry, she is a graduate of both Jemma Kidd Makeup Academy in London and Pixiwoo Studios in Norwich, UK. Linda has trained with international pro artists Samantha Chapman and Nicola Haste of Pixiwoo YouTube fame and creators of the hugely successful Real Techniques makeup brush range. Linda studied Vintage & Modern Glamour with David Horne – Head of Product Development for Illamasqua (former European trainer with MAC)
Linda’s signature style can be seen throughout her work: whether creating a look for a Bride, working on a Fashion Editorial or being booked for an event. Linda prides herself in taking a fresh modern approach to makeup application where precision and balance are key. She understands the skin and how to keep it looking fresh, clean and youthful while still ensuring it photographs beautifully. She will skillfully translate current runway trends into a wearable look or help you to achieve a chic bridal statement.
