I am an Irish makeup artist, raised between France, the United States and Ireland. Now based between Ireland and Paris, I work internationally across fashion, beauty, editorial, advertising and celebrity projects, bringing 35 years of experience to the faces I create.

While pursuing my own career, for the last 30 years, I have also worked alongside Dame Pat McGrath, contributing to the research and development of runway makeup for some of the world’s leading fashion houses and to training one of the most talented and versatile makeup teams in the industry.

Each season, this work brings together experimentation, precision and close collaboration. It means understanding what a designer or creative team wants to express and translating that vision into distinctive makeup looks, many of which have helped shape today’s beauty trends. Our work together extends beyond the runway to beauty launches, events and campaigns around the world, bringing me together with renowned models, photographers, directors and celebrities across both photography and film.

Sharing that experience with makeup artists around the world is an important part of my career. Through my work with Pat and her team, I pass on the techniques, adaptability and attention to detail that working at this level demands.

In 2021, I brought that experience to Irish television as one of the two main judges on Glow Up Ireland, appearing across all eight episodes. Today, sharing my knowledge with the next generation of Irish makeup artists is an increasingly important part of my work.

Early in my career, someone gave me advice that I still carry with me: “Work with the best, in order to become your best.” It continues to guide both how I work and what I hope to pass on.

2021...

And then came #Glowup IRELAND on RTE2!  8 episodes.. 

From the orignal GLOW UP ON BBC… IRELAND did their own version. Who would have thought that slowly coming out of Covid, this project would show up on my doorstep! I work all over the world and for the first time, this was my opportunity of working with a Top Class Irish Production. 

Furthermore this was the 1st time where I would leave my « backstage » to be in front of the camera. 

3 strong women, 3 generations … With my wonderful fellow judge Emma O’Bryne and fantastic presenter Maura Higginns, We embarked on this adventure, with 

the first generation of Irish Glowup competitors; 10 incredibly talented young people.  

Spreading the magic of makeup artistry has been my entire career. GLOWUP IRELAND was an honor and a privilege to be part of.
