AWARD-WINNING MAKE-UP ARTIST & EDUCATOR - ESSEX
Hi! I'm Justine and I'm so glad you found me.
I'm a make-up artist and educator based in Stock, Essex and I believe that make-up should help you feel more like yourself, not less.
Whether you're here because make-up doesn't seem to work for you in quite the same way anymore, you'd love to feel more confident with what you're doing, you're getting maried or you simply want to look and feel your best for something special, my approach is always completely personal to you.
You don't need to be 'good at make-up', know exactly what you want or arrive with a make-up bag full of the latest products. That's where I come in.
My job is to listen, understand what you want to achieve and help you discover what genuinely works for you, your features, your lifestyle and the stage of life you're in right now.
Above all, I want you to feel completely at ease, supported and confident
and to leave looking and feeling like the very best version of YOU.
Every woman is totally unique, and so it's important that you still look like you.
My Story: How I got to where I am
Growing up with bad skin throughout my teens and 20s, I discovered early on the transformative power that make-up could have — not just on how you look, but on how you feel about yourself.
As I entered my 40s, my children were growing up and my role within the family was changing. Rather than return to my corporate career, I made the decision to retrain as a make-up artist — fusing my lifelong love of make-up with a genuine desire to help other women feel good about themselves. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
Since then I've had the privilege of working with women of all ages — from brides on their wedding day to women navigating midlife, menopause, and all the changes that come with it.
Whatever brings them to my studio, the goal is always the same: to help them look and feel like the best, most confident version of themselves.
A career highlight has been working with my absolute idol, make-up artist Lisa Eldridge — joining her team at her first-ever pop-up studios in Covent Garden and on her Customer Service Team. It gave me the opportunity to work with so many different women who loved Lisa and the brand as well as alongside some amazing artists. I have always admired Lisa, not only for her incredible artistry, but for the integrity behind her brand and how hard she works to create products that are genuinely the very best that they can be.
Outside of make-up, I'm a qualified NLP and Time Line Therapy Coach — not something I offer as a standalone service, but a qualification that reflects my belief that confidence is as much about mindset as it is about mascara.
"I really enjoyed our session and you made me look lovely, even my partner is impressed... Our session was fun, I felt relaxed and I'm more confident... Thank you so much Justine, you've changed my life."

5 little things you might not know about me.....

I am an Essex girl born and bred! I live in the picturesque village of Stock in Essex (not far from Billericay and Chelmsford) with my husband, 2 children (now in their 20s). And I'm a proud dog mum too! 🐾
-
I was awarded Make-up Artist of the Year in the Essex Wedding Awards 2023 at the age of 50 - this has been a highlight, proving that it's never too late to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

I love music and dancing — I wanted to be a dancer on Top of the Pops when I grew up! These days you'll find me doing yoga or reformer pilates, which I've recently discovered and really enjoy.

I love learning new things and being creative — I'm constantly exploring new products, techniques and approaches to make sure my clients always get the very best of me. Even after more than 10 years as a make-up artist, I never want to stop learning and developing what I do. And I am a complete foundation addict - I have far more than any one person could ever need and I'm always on the hunt for the next 'perfect' formula!
